The United States Department of State has approved the possible export of weapons to Ukraine, the total value of which is estimated at approximately $825 million.
According to the US Defense Cooperation Agency, Ukraine has requested the purchase of 3,350 Extended Range Attack Munition (ERAM) missiles, as well as the same number of GPS/INS navigation systems equipped with the SAASM secure module.
In addition to the ammunition itself, the request includes the supply of related equipment, spare parts, software, as well as technical support and repair services. The procurement will be financed both by the US Foreign Military Financing (FMF) program and through contributions from partner countries, including Denmark, the Netherlands, and Norway.
The main contractors of the contract will be Zone 5 Technologies and CoAspire. The US government assured that the implementation of the agreement will not require the deployment of additional US personnel to Ukraine and will not affect the level of defense readiness of the United States itself.
Recall that Canada will allocate $500 million for the purchase of American weapons for Ukraine under the PURL program.
As reported, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy stated that Ukraine needs to receive a billion dollars from partners every month to purchase American weapons.
