Under the sale package, Greece has requested to buy parts and services to support F100-PW-229 engines’ follow-on depot-level maintenance and sustainment to include spare parts and other accessories.

Services such as engineering, technical, and other associated elements of logistical and programme support were also requested by Greece.

DSCA said in a statement: “This proposed sale will support the foreign policy and national security objectives of the United States 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 is expected to enhance Greece’s capability to meet existing and future threats.
