US Approves $144 Mln Missile Upgrade Kits Sale to UAE

The Pentagon announced that the US State Department has approved the sale of missile update equipment to the United Arab Emirates (UAE) worth $144 million.

The US Department of Defense stated that it has approved a potential sale to the UAE, including updates to anti-radiation missile control units and related equipment, totaling around $144 million.

The primary contractor for this deal will be Raytheon Technologies Corp.

Last month, the US Department of Defense disclosed that the State Department had approved a potential deal to sell multi-function information distribution systems to Saudi Arabia at a cost of $101.1 million.

The sale aims to enhance the security of the kingdom, which the US statement referred to as a force for political stability and economic progress in the Gulf region.
