The United States has approved a prospective $185 million foreign military sale of Class IX spare parts and related equipment to Ukraine, aimed at sustaining US-supplied military platforms already in Ukrainian service.

Under a forthcoming Department of Defense notification to Congress, Ukraine requested spare parts to support army vehicles and weapons previously delivered by the United States. The package includes logistics, technical, and program support designed to enhance sustainment capacity, increase operational availability, and accelerate battlefield repair and maintenance cycles.

The Defense Security Cooperation Agency said the proposed sale advances US foreign policy and national security goals by strengthening the security of a key European partner. It emphasized that the transaction would not require additional US personnel or contractors for implementation and would not change the military balance in the region.

Broader US Support to Ukraine

The approval follows a series of major US defense sales and assistance packages to Ukraine in recent years. In September 2025, Washington cleared more than $300 million in potential sales to sustain Patriot air defense systems and expand satellite communications support for Starlink terminals. In August 2025, it approved a potential $825 million package covering air-launched cruise missiles and related equipment, including thousands of GPS-guided Extended Range Attack Munitions and electronic warfare systems.

These initiatives build on extensive transfers of ammunition, counter-drone technologies, radar systems, and HIMARS rocket munitions to Ukraine, aimed at countering ongoing threats and sustaining high operational tempo across multiple combat fronts.
