The U.S. Department of State has made a determination approving a possible Foreign Military Sale to the Government of Ukraine for Joint Direct Attack Munitions – Extended Range and related equipment. The estimated total cost is $373.6 million.
The Government of Ukraine has requested to buy one thousand two hundred (1,200) KMU-572 joint direct attack munition (JDAM) tail kits; and three hundred thirty-two (332) KMU-556 JDAM tail kits. The following non-MDE items will also be included: FMU-139 fuze systems; JDAM support equipment; spare and repair parts, consumables and accessories, and repair and return support; weapons software and support equipment; classified and unclassified publications and technical documentation; transportation support; studies and surveys; U.S. Government and contractor engineering, technical and logistics support services; and other related elements of logistics and program support.
This proposed sale will support the foreign policy and national security objectives of the United States by improving the security of a partner country that is a force for political stability and economic progress in Europe.
The proposed sale will improve Ukraine’s capability to meet current and future threats by further equipping it to conduct self-defense and regional security missions with a more robust air defense capability. Ukraine will have no difficulty absorbing these articles and services into its armed forces.
The proposed sale of this equipment and support will not alter the basic military balance in the region.
The principal contractor will be Boeing Company, located in St. Louis, Missouri.
There will be no adverse impact on U.S. defense readiness as a result of this proposed sale.
