According to official information, Ukraine seeks to procure a range of sustainment-related articles and services for its Patriot system. This includes upgrading M901 launchers to the M903 configuration, as well as classified and unclassified prescribed load lists and authorised stockage lists for ground support equipment.
The proposed deal also covers necessary services, training, ancillary items, spare parts, accessories, and other aspects linked to logistics and programme support.
RTX and Lockheed Martin have been identified as the main contractors by the State Department.
The Defense Security Cooperation Agency (DSCA) has already delivered the mandatory certification notifying the US Congress about the deal.
The proposed sale aims to advance its foreign policy and national security interests by strengthening the capacity of a European partner country.
According to DSCA, this deal will also enhance Ukraine’s ability to address current and future threats by further equipping it to conduct self-defence operations and regional security missions with improved local sustainment capabilities.
Ukraine is expected to integrate the items and services into its armed forces without difficulty.
However, the US will assign approximately five additional representatives from the federal government and 15 contractor personnel to the European Combatant Command for up to one month in order to support training and periodic meetings related to the programme.
Earlier, in July 2025, the US State Department authorised prospective sales of support services for Bradley Infantry Fighting Vehicles as well as HAWK Phase III missile systems to Ukraine.
In October 2025, the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine approved amendments to the 2025 State Budget that will increase the Ministry of Defence’s expenditures by Hrv311bn ($7.4bn).
