Foreign Ministry approves possible sale of $268 million amphibious assault vehicle to Greece
WASHINGTON, March 17 – RIA Novosti. The Pentagon Security Cooperation Agency said on Friday that the US State Department has approved a possible deal to sell several dozen amphibious assault vehicles (AAVs) and related equipment to Greece for about $268 million.
According to the ministry, such an agreement would serve the implementation of US foreign policy and national security goals, as it includes providing assistance to “a NATO ally who is an important partner in achieving political stability and economic progress in Europe.” ”
“The proposed agreement, given its strategic location on NATO’s southern flank, will increase Greece’s ability to counter current and future threats by providing an effective means to protect its maritime interests and infrastructure. He emphasized that it would not be difficult for him to integrate these weapons into his armed forces.
The US administration has already officially notified this decision to the US Congress. The legislature has a month to review the potential deal and decide whether to block it.
