Germany to send WS-61 Westland Sea King helicopters to Ukraine
Germany has committed to sending Ukraine six of its 21 retiring WS-61 Westland Sea King multirole, amphibious helicopters.
The Defense Security Cooperation Agency (DSCA) notified the US Congress on 5 May that it had cleared a sale of 17 Bell Boeing V-22B Osprey aircraft to Japan. Tokyo has been mulling this procurement for several years after it began investigating Osprey costs in 2012.

The package includes 40 Rolls-Royce AE 1107C engines,
