Ukrainian authorities requested these spare parts to maintain vehicles and weapons systems supplied by the US Army, as well as for additional logistics and programme support.

Under the previous administration of President Joe Biden, the US supplied hundreds of armoured vehicles and tanks to Ukraine.

According to a statement from the DSCA, the spare parts are expected to enhance battlefield operations, improve logistics, and reduce financial pressure by enabling quicker repair cycles.

The DSCA stated: “This proposed sale will support the foreign policy and national security objectives of the United States by improving the security of a partner country that is a force for political stability and economic progress in Europe.”

Principal contractors for the sale will be selected from approved vendors. No offset agreements are currently in place, though such arrangements may be negotiated directly between Ukraine and the contractor if necessary.

The DSCA confirmed that this sale does not require additional American government or contractor personnel in Ukraine and is not expected to impact US defence readiness.

Furthermore, the transaction is not expected to affect the existing military balance in the region.

In July 2025, the State Department approved potential FMS for support services linked to Bradley infantry fighting vehicles and the HAWK Phase III missile system for Ukraine.

The first of these sales, valued at around $150m, involves equipment and services to refurbish Bradley vehicles.

Last November, US State Department also approved a potential FMS to Ukraine for the sustainment and related equipment of the Patriot air defence system, with an estimated value of $105m.
