    (iv) Significance: Estonia plays an important role in strengthening 
deterrence capabilities on the northeastern flank of NATO. Sale of the 
requested items will significantly enhance this NATO partner's ability 
to counter threats posed by armored and hardened targets, greatly 
increasing NATO's overall security, and providing a demonstrable 
deterrent effect.

economic, and security interests by supporting the recipient's 
continuing efforts to modernize its armed forces and enhance its

will use the enhanced capability as a deterrent to regional threats and 
to strengthen its homeland defense.
    (vi) Sensitivity of Technology: The statement contained in the 
original AECA 36(b)(1) transmittal applies to the MDE items reported
