The US Department of State has approved the sale of two military aid packages to Ukraine, totaling $322 million, as announced on July 23. This includes $172 million for HAWK Phase III air defense systems, covering maintenance, trucks, spare parts, repairs, and training. Additionally, $150 million is allocated for Bradley Infantry Fighting Vehicles, along with their repair and technical support.
The package will support Ukraine’s ongoing efforts to strengthen its defense against growing security threats, with the acquisition of key equipment and services, such as spare parts, trucks, technical assistance, and training for the HAWK missile system, states Defence Security Cooperation Agency (DSCA) in a press release.
Additionally, the deal includes the refurbishment and overhaul of HAWK air defense fire units, missile repairs, and logistical support.
This move aligns with the United States’ foreign policy and national security goals by helping Ukraine bolster its self-defense and regional security capabilities. The proposed sale will not disrupt the military balance in the region, DSCA claims.
The HAWK system is expected to significantly enhance Ukraine’s air defense capabilities, enabling it to address both current and future aerial threats, such as shahed drones. Key contractors involved in the deal include Sielman Corporation (Greece), RTX Corporation (US), and PROJECTXYZ (US).
The US government has noted that the implementation of this sale will require temporary travel by both US government and contractor representatives to Ukraine.
This sale marks another step in strengthening Ukraine’s defense infrastructure amid ongoing security challenges, DSCA concludes.
Earlier, it was reported that US President Donald Trump plans “very aggressive” arms deal for Ukraine, which may include missiles that reach Moscow.
