The United States has approved a potential emergency $138 million in foreign military sales to Ukraine to aid the nation in repairing its Hawk missile systems and defend against Russian drone and cruise missile attacks, according to the U.S. State Department.
In an April 9 statement announcing the sale, the State Department said it would allow Ukraine to buy various “sustainment-related articles and services” for the Hawk Phase III missile system, including engineering and integration for the system’s communications and interoperability, and various refurbishments for the Hawk air defense fire units.
