Hungary--UH-1N Helicopters
    The Government of Hungary has requested a possible sale of the 
modification and inspection of 32 UH-1N Utility Helicopters and 20 T-
400 spare engines being provided as grant Excess Defense Articles 
(EDA). Also provided are Forward Looking Infrared Radar, Night Vision 
Devices, simulators, spare and repair parts, support and test 
equipment, publications and technical documentation, personnel training 
and training equipment, U.S. Government and contractor engineering, 
technical and logistics support services, and other related elements of 
logistical and program support. The estimated cost is $426 million.
    This proposed sale will contribute to the foreign policy and 
national security of the United States by helping to improve the 
military capabilities of Hungary and furthering NATO standardization 
and interoperability between United States and other NATO allies.
    The proposed sale will help improve Hungary's overall ability to 
conduct humanitarian and search and rescue medical evacuation missions. 
The proposed sale would further enhance and enable interoperability 
with U.S. Armed Forces and other coalition partners in the region. 
Similar items have not previously been provided to Hungary.
    The proposed sale of this equipment and support will not alter the 
basic military balance in the region.
    The prime contractor will be the U.S. Navy, Naval Air Systems 
Command. There are no known offset agreements proposed in connection 
with this potential sale.
    Implementation of this proposed sale will require multiple U.S. 
Government and contractor representatives to travel to Hungary for one 
week intervals, semi-annually, for a period of three years for program 
and technical reviews, and training and maintenance support.
    There will be no adverse impact on U.S. defense readiness as a 
result of this proposed sale.
