The US State Department approval covers four US Army helicopters “from US Army stock”, as well as spares, related equipment, and support, for an estimated USD259 million.
“This proposed sale will support the foreign policy and national security objectives of the United States. Australia is one of our most important allies in the Western Pacific. The strategic location of this political and economic power contributes significantly to ensuring peace and economic stability in the region. It is vital to the US national interest to assist our ally in developing and maintaining a strong and ready self-defense capability,” the DSCA said.
The proposed sale must now be approved by Congress before being signed off.
