The $1.08 billion approval puts a large new foreign military sale into Sikorsky's Black Hawk rotorcraft line.

Foreign military sales of this magnitude require State Department approval, so the green light signals Washington is comfortable with the bilateral security relationship and Mexico's intended use of the aircraft.
Investors tracking defense contractors with rotorcraft exposure should note that government-to-government arms approvals of this scale are infrequent and can move backlog figures when announced.
