The State Department approved a possible $495 million Foreign Military Sale (FMS) request to Saudi Arabia for nine UH-60M Black Hawk Utility Helicopters and associated equipment, parts, and logistical support.
The Defense Security Cooperation Agency (DSCA) notified Congress of the potential sale on Oct. 13.

Saudi Arabia would use this equipment through the Royal Saudi Land Forces Aviation Command (RSLFAC) for search and rescue, disaster relief, humanitarian support, counterterrorism, and combat operation, DSCA said in a statement.
Implementation of the FMS would require about 40-60 U.S. government and contractor representatives to travel to Saudi Arabia for up to 60 months for equipment de-processing, fielding, system checkout, training, and technical logistics support.
