Doubtful.

We finance deals of this sort all the time. We provide what is called "Foreign Military Financing" (FMF) to select countries, and FMF funds are given" to the country only to be spent on US military hardware, support and/or infrastructure.

Incidentally, the money never leaves the US, it remains in a DFAS bank account in Denver.

With FMF/FMS sales, the country contracts with the US government to provide the hardware and run the program, and the US government contracts with industry. . .see, the bucks never leave the US.

Doesn't matter one whit. The important thing is to keep those assembly-lines hummin'.
