The U.S. State Department has approved the possible sale of Stryker military vehicles to Bulgaria for an estimated $1.5 billion, the Pentagon said on September 1. The sale to the NATO ally would consist of 183 Stryker vehicles, including infantry carriers, command vehicles, and medical evacuation vehicles, the Pentagon said. The Pentagon's Defense Security Cooperation Agency notified Congress of the possible sale. The notification does not indicate that a contract has been signed or that negotiations have concluded. U.S. defense contractor General Dynamics is the prime contractor for the vehicles, the Pentagon said.
