WASHINGTON, July 11, (APP/AFP) – The US State
Department said it is ready to sell thousands of tactical vehicles to Britain in a contract worth more than $1 billion.
The sale comes after the British government requested a possible sale
of up to 2,747 Joint Light Tactical Vehicles (JLTVs) in a contract worth $1.035 billion.
Congress has 30 days to raise objections to the sale, but with
Britain essentially America’s top military ally, that is unlikely.
The JLTV is a new all-purpose military vehicle that has been designed
to replace the Humvee in the US military.
Oshkosh in 2015 was awarded a $6.75 billion contract to replace
thousands of Humvees in the US military.
