NEWTOWN, Conn. - Tunisia has requested the sale of 12 Sikorsky UH-60M Black Hawk helicopters, according to the United States Defense Security Cooperation Agency (DSCA).
The sale is estimated to be worth $700 million and would also include 24 7.62mm M134 Miniguns, 24 .50 GAU-19 Gatling guns, 24 70mm Hydra rocket pods and the ability to integrate laser-guided variants of the rockets.
The Black Hawks would improve Tunisia's capability to deter regional threats and strengthen its homeland defense, as well as support counter-terrorism operations.
The U.S. is the primary supplier of military equipment to the Tunisian military. Foreign Military Sale (FMS) activity to Tunisia has increased considerably in recent years and has largely consisted of spare and repair parts, primarily for aircraft and vehicles.
