The proposed sale will improve Greece’s capability to meet current and future threats by providing greater depth of repair capability for engines on their F–16 Block 52+/52+ Advanced aircraft, sustaining their weapon system, and improving aircraft capability rates. Greece has demonstrated a continued commitment to modernizing its military and will have no difficulty absorbing this additional sustainment support into its armed forces. The proposed sale of these services will not alter the basic military balance in the region. There are no principal contractors for this proposed sale. There are no known offset agreements proposed in connection with this potential sale. Implementation of this proposed sale will not require the assignment of any additional U.S. Government or contractor representatives outside the United States.
