foreign policy and national security 

objectives of the U.S by helping to 

improve the security of a NATO Ally, 

which is an important partner for 

political stability and economic progress 

in Europe. 

The proposed sale will replace 

Greece’s current multi-role helicopter 

fleet with a more reliable and proven 

system that will allow Greece to 

maintain the appropriate level of 

readiness to conduct combined 

operations. The UH–60M Black Hawk 

helicopter will improve the Hellenic

Army’s ability to deploy combat power 

to secure Greece’s borders, deter actions 

against its interests, and, when required, 

respond with credible force. Greece will 

have no difficulty absorbing this 

equipment into its armed forces. 

The proposed sale of this equipment 

and support will not alter the basic 

military balance in the region. 

The principal contractor will be 

Sikorsky, a Lockheed Martin Company, 

Stratford, CT. There are no known offset 

agreements proposed in connection 

with this potential sale. 

Implementation of this proposed sale 

will require approximately fifteen (15) 

U.S. Government and/or fifteen (15) 

contractor representatives to travel to 

Greece for an extended period for 

equipment de-processing/fielding, 

system checkout, training, and technical 

and logistics support. 

There will be no adverse impact on 

U.S. defense readiness as a result of this 

proposed sale.
