estimated cost is $111 million.
Turkey is a partner of the United
States in ensuring peace and stability in
the region. It is vital to the U.S. national
interest to assist our North Atlantic
Treaty Organization (NATO) ally in
developing and maintaining a strong
and ready self-defense capability that
will contribute to an acceptable military
balance in the area. This proposed sale
is consistent with those objectives.
The proposed sale will improve
Turkey’s capability for self defense,
modernization, regional security, and
interoperability with U.S. and other
NATO members. AH–1W helicopters
are already in the Turkish Land Forces
Command inventory and will further
enhance Turkey’s ground defense
capabilities. Turkey will have no
difficulty absorbing these helicopters
into its armed forces.
The proposed sale of these helicopters
will not alter the basic military balance
in the region or U.S. efforts to encourage
a negotiated settlement in Cyprus.
There will be no prime contractor
associated with this proposed sale.
There are no known offset agreements
proposed in connection with this
potential sale.
Implementation of this proposed sale
will require the assignment of
approximately five contractor
representatives to Turkey for a period of

up to 90 days for differences training
between U.S. and Turkish AH–1Ws
helicopters.
These aircraft will be sold from the
United States Marine Corps’ (USMC)
inventory. The effect on USMC
readiness will be mitigated by the
submission of a reprogramming action
to return the sales proceeds from the
U.S. Treasury’s general receipts account
to the USMC’s H–1 upgrades program.
