The US State Department has given the green light for a potential $100 million sale of AW-119Kx helicopters and related equipment to Bosnia and Herzegovina, according to a statement from the Pentagon on Tuesday.
This move aims to strengthen the capabilities of the Armed Forces of Bosnia and Herzegovina (AFBiH) by enhancing their operational readiness in challenging terrain. The helicopters are expected to support regional security efforts and NATO cooperation exercises, helping protect the country’s national security interests, particularly across its mountainous and hard-to-reach areas.
Leonardo Helicopters U.S., through its AgustaWestland Philadelphia Corporation division, will serve as the principal contractor for the deal.
The Defense Security Cooperation Agency (DSCA) has formally notified the US Congress about the proposed sale, marking a significant step in deepening defense ties between the United States and Bosnia and Herzegovina.
