The U.S. State Department has approved a potential $2.68 billion Foreign Military Sale to Ukraine covering air-defense upgrades, missiles, counter-drone radars, launcher modifications and related technical and logistical support. The proposed package includes S-300 clone missiles, GAM-67 missiles and range-extended air-defense laser-guided rocket systems. If concluded, Ukraine would finance the purchase through European contributions and U.S. Foreign Military Financing appropriated under the previous administration, with the funds counting toward a U.S. contribution to the Ukraine Reconstruction Investment Fund through a 1:1 reimbursement mechanism. Washington said the proposed sale would strengthen Ukraine's ability to address current and future threats but would not alter the basic military balance in the region. No additional U.S. personnel in Ukraine would be required under the proposed arrangement. #russia, #ukraine, #ukrainewar, #russiaukrainewar, #usa, #usmilitary, #airdefense
