F-16 for Ukraine: US allocates over $235 million for maintenance

The Pentagon has signed a contract worth $235.5 million for maintenance of F-16 aircraft, including those transferred to Ukraine.

This was announced on January 29 by the US Department of Defense Security Cooperation Agency (DSCA).

The agreement provides for maintenance of F-16 fighter jets and engines, as well as support in logistics management for Ukraine.

“Sabena Aerospace Engineering of Woluwe-Saint-Lambert, Belgium, has been awarded a fixed-price, time-and-materials contract worth $235,449,716 to support the Systems Program Office’s Foreign Military Sales program for the F-16,” the post reads.

The work is expected to be completed by January 28, 2029.

Recall that the Netherlands allocated 250 million euros to Ukraine for the purchase of American ammunition for F-16 fighters.

As reported, Ukrainian F-16s appear to have received new weapons that allow them to effectively and relatively cheaply shoot down Russian kamikaze drones — from Shahed to Gerber.
