The package also included support and communications equipment, as well as 29 M30A2 Guided Multiple Launch Rocket System alternative warhead missile pods with the insensitive munitions propulsion system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The potential sale is worth about $670 million. Now that the agency has notified Congress, the value and quantity of materiel could change while negotiations are underway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The possible deal \u201cwill support the foreign policy and national security objectives of the United States by helping to improve the security of a NATO ally that is an important force for political stability and economic progress in Europe,\u201d according to the DSCA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The sale comes as the HIMARS receives increased attention due to their use on the battlefield in Ukraine. The Netherlands is seeking the weapon to build up its own defense capabilities. In July 2022, the State Department <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/land\/2022\/07\/21\/patriot-missile-sales-to-netherlands-cleared-by-us-state-department\/\" target=\"_blank\">approved<\/a> a possible foreign military sale to the Netherlands for $1.2 billion involving Raytheon Technologies-made Patriot missiles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Netherlands has supported Ukraine through the nearly yearlong war against a Russian invasion. During a <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/russia-ukraine-biden-politics-netherlands-government-united-states-03128d7faeb04340cc8a1421cf6ae42e\" target=\"_blank\">visit<\/a> to the White House on Jan. 17, Dutch Prime Minister <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/global\/europe\/2023\/01\/24\/german-government-reportedly-ready-to-send-ukraine-leopard-2-tanks\/\" target=\"_blank\">Mark Rutte<\/a> said his country planned to join German and American efforts to train Ukraine on the Patriot system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Netherlands announced the month before that it <a href=\"https:\/\/www.government.nl\/ministries\/ministry-of-defence\/news\/2022\/12\/23\/netherlands-support-ukraine-2023-news\" target=\"_blank\">earmarked<\/a> \u20ac2.5 billion (U.S. $2.7 billion) to aid Ukraine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Last week, the DSCA <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/pentagon\/2023\/02\/07\/us-clears-poland-to-buy-himars-and-ammo-worth-10-billion\/\" target=\"_blank\">announced<\/a> a possible sale of HIMARS launchers at a cost of $10 billion, and Lithuania was approved for a $495 million sale on Nov. 9.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Since Feb. 24, 2022, when Russia invaded Ukraine, the DSCA has announced at least five separate HIMARS sales to customers in the Indo-Pacific region and Europe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As of Jan. 25, 2023, the U.S. has <a href=\"https:\/\/media.defense.gov\/2023\/Jan\/25\/2003149684\/-1\/-1\/1\/UKRAINE-FACT-SHEET-JAN-30.PDF\" target=\"_blank\">included<\/a> 38 HIMARS and related ammunition in its aid to
