More than likely, this sale has probably been in the works for over a year. Countries come in with their requirements a year in advance. The case would have to be written (30 days) gone through a number of reviews and approvals, which could take up to 60 days, assuming there were no objections that had to be worked. Then there will be consultations with the Hill before the deal is officially notified to Congress (the official notification period is 30 days). It would have to be worked in conjunction with their $1.8B "grant". So the timing is more than likely coincidence than politics. FMS is not a fast process.

Besides, the article says that DSCA has "confirmed" that this has been sold -- so it may have been sold some time ago. The article doesn't say that the sale is pending or recently approved.
