The State Department has approved Slovakia™s request to buy 14 F-16 Block 70/72 V configuration aircraft and related equipment and services from the U.S. government through a potential $2.91 billion foreign military sales agreement.

Lockheed Martin (NYSE: LMT) will act as the prime contractor in the proposed deal in support of Slovakia™s plan to replace its fleet of MiG-29 fighter jets, the Defense Security Cooperation Agency said Wednesday.

The proposed FMS transaction covers several products and services such as F110 General Electric or F100 Pratt & Whitney engines; APG-83 active electronically scanned array radars; M61 A1 Vulcan 20mm guns; modular mission computers; AIM-120C7 air-to-air missiles; LAU-129 guided-missile launchers; spares and repair parts; engineering; technical; and logistics support.
