美国国务院已批准向韩国出售MH-60R多任务海军直升机，并启动AH-64E“阿帕奇”直升机升级计划。此举旨在加强这一亚洲盟友的国防能力。
美国国务院宣布了关于潜在政府间军事销售的决定，其中MH-60R直升机项目预计耗资30亿美元，而“阿帕奇”升级项目预计耗资12亿美元。
韩国已提出购买24架MH-60R直升机、24部机载低频声纳以及8挺M240D 7.62毫米机枪。MH-60R主要用于反潜作战、海上监视以及搜救任务。
针对“阿帕奇”升级项目，首尔方面申请采购8部AN/APG-78火控雷达及其他相关设备。美国国务院表示，拟议的销售将通过增强韩国海军的多任务直升机能力，提升其应对威胁的能力。
此项请求是在朝鲜不断增加核武器与导弹威胁的背景下提出的。该拟议销售仍需获得美国国会的批准。
