وقالت صحيفة "السياسة" الكويتية إن الصفقة تشمل بيع 600 ألف خرطوشة وحاويات وذخائر ومعدات دعم واختبار وخدمات دعم فني ولوجستي، مشيرا إلى أنها تشمل أيضا عناصر ذات صلة بالدعم اللوجيستي.
وأوضحت وكالة التعاون الدفاعي أن الصفقة المقترحة تهدف إلى دعم قدرات الجيش الكويتي لمواجهة التحديات الحالية والمستقبلية عن طريق دعم قدرات دبابات القتال الرئيسية "إم 1 إي 2" أبرامز، ودعم تطوير أسطول الدبابات الكويتي بصورة عامة.

ولفتت إلى أن ذخائر التدريب الخاصة بتلك الدبابات ستساهم في دعم كفاءة التدريب القتالي للدبابات الكويتية لدعم قدرتها على حماية حدود الكويت ومنشآتها الرئيسية، إضافة إلى مساهمة ذلك في تحقيق التوازن العسكري في المنطقة.
