  Spain cleared to buy American assault amphibious vehicles

  By: Aaron Mehta WASHINGTON — The U.S. State Department has cleared Spain to purchase 11 assault amphibious vehicles, built by BAE systems, in a deal that could be worth $107 million. The possible foreign military sale notification was posted on the website of the Defense Security Cooperation Agency on Friday. Sale notifications are not guarantees of sale, and quantities and dollar figures can often change during final negotiations. “This proposed sale will support the foreign policy and national security of the United States by improving the security of a NATO ally which is an important force for political stability and economic progress in Europe,” the notification reads. “It is vital to the U.S. national interest to assist Spain in developing and maintaining a strong and ready self-defense capability.” Spain seeks three types of vehicles in the deal, which will join the 19 AAVs already in use by that country. Included in the proposal are eight personnel carriers, two command vehicles and one recovery vehicle. Also included are “Enhanced Armor Applique Kits (EAAK), spare and repair parts, tools and test equipment, technical data and publications, training and training material,” per the notice. Work will be done at BAE's locations in York, Pennsylvania, and Anniston, Alabama. The announcement marks Spain's first FMS request of fiscal 2019. In FY18, the country requested $1.3 billion worth of CH-47 helicopters. https://www.defensenews.com/global/europe/2019/03/15/spain-cleared-to-buy-american-assault-amphibious-vehicles
