The associated spare parts for the six SH-3D helicopters are “in a situation of low availability.” According to the government, the navy will be able to replace a material with the help of the agreement, which will also help to solidify its relationship with the navy of the Latin American nation.
After the transfer was approved, the government assured that the sale did not jeopardise the military’s operability. Now, it is repeating that assurance to the Mixed Group deputy and former Ciudadanos member as the fleet of SH-60F helicopters, which have an average price of 20 million euros per aircraft and are soon to be put into service, is expected to include the planned units.

The government argued that it is important to consider the equipment’s low market value as well as its high repair costs, transportation expenses, and limited marketing opportunities.
The symbolic amount of 600 euros has been decided upon “based on the obvious logistical benefit for the Navy, by facilitating a final destination for this material and also with the aim of strengthening the fluid and trusting relationship that exists between the Navy and the Peruvian Navy.”
