U.S. Clears $825 Million Missile Sale to Ukraine, Backed by European Allies
The U.S. State Department has given the green light for a possible $825 million sale of precision-guided missiles and associated equipment to Ukraine.
The Gaze reports this, referring to the Defense Security Cooperation Agency (DSCA).
According to the announcement, the Ukrainian government requested up to 3,350 Extended Range Attack Munition (ERAM) air-to-ground missiles, together with 3,350 GPS/INS navigation systems equipped with advanced anti-spoofing protection modules.
The proposed package also covers missile containers, mounting pylons, spare parts, consumables, software and hardware for mission planning, maintenance and repair services, as well as the delivery and support of classified programs.
Officials emphasized that the deal supports U.S. foreign policy and national security interests by “improving the security of a partner country that is a force for political stability and economic progress in Europe.”
The DSCA also underlined that the transfer would not undermine America’s own defense readiness, since no deployment of U.S. personnel or contractors to Ukraine is required.
Financing will be provided through a mix of European and American sources. Denmark, the Netherlands, and Norway have pledged contributions toward the purchase, supplemented by funds from Washington’s Foreign Military Financing (FMF) program.
The contract’s final value may be lower depending on Ukraine’s needs and budgetary decisions. Media reports suggest the missiles could reach Ukraine within six weeks.
The announcement followed a brutal overnight barrage on Kyiv, which killed 23 people, injured dozens of civilians, and damaged diplomatic and cultural institutions.
