The contract states that Kiev can receive one AN/MPQ-64F1 Sentinel radar station and other equipmentWASHINGTON, May 24.

/tass/. The United States Administration announced on Wednesday a $285 million contract for the sale of one NASAMS short- and medium-range anti-aircraft missile system (SAM) and related equipment to Ukraine. This was reported by the State Department and the relevant government department, part of the Pentagon structure, responsible for the supply of military equipment and weapons abroad under intergovernmental contracts, promoting relations between the Armed Forces of the United States and other countries, providing financial and technical assistance to Washington's foreign partners in the field of defense.

The contract states that Ukraine can receive one AN/MPQ-64F1 Sentinel radar station and other equipment.

From the point of view of the American government, the fulfillment of the contract "will contribute to the achievement of foreign policy goals and national security objectives of the United States by strengthening the security of Ukraine, which allegedly "is a force for political stability and economic progress in Europe." The deal "will not change the basic military balance in the region," the State Department and the Pentagon say. The main contractor is Raytheon Corporation. "As a result of this potential deal, there will be no negative impact on the combat readiness of the American defense system," the US authorities said.

Permission for the implementation of this agreement, which, in accordance with national legislation, is issued by the Foreign Ministry, has been received. The US administration has already notified Congress of its decisions. The legislative branch of the US government now has 30 days to study the new agreement and its possible blocking.
