The largest package provides for the purchase of 3,000 AGM-179A missiles worth $ 957. 4 million. This weapon is likely to be used at the British AH-64E Apach helicopter park. The Finland Agreement provides for the purchase of up to 150-managed AGM-88G-48G-controlled missiles, the cost of which is estimated at $ 500 million. These missiles, designed to defeat radars or transmitters, are not currently used by Finland.
However, the Dutch has announced the Aargm-ER plans earlier this year to equip their F-35 aircraft aircraft, which Finland also plans to operate. Finally, Lithuania wants to buy 36 AIM-20C-8 missiles worth $ 100 million. It is noteworthy that the DSCA message states that these weapons are intended for use in the NASAMS air defense system, which Lithuania announced in June for a specific purpose - to transfer the system to Ukraine.
Breaking DEFENSE observers have noted that the issue of supply has not yet been resolved, since Congress can still express their opinion and oppose sales. However, in the case of three NATO countries, this will almost probably not happen. Earlier it was reported that in the Donetsk region the Russians intercepted the Himars system.
