The U.S. Department of Defense has signed a contract with Raytheon Missiles and Defense, ordering advanced medium-range air-to-air missiles (AMRAAM) for a total of $1.2 billion.

This is stated in the Pentagon’s press release, Ukrinform reports.

The order is set to have been completed by January 31, 2027.

The contract involves unclassified Foreign Military Sales to Bahrain, Belgium, Bulgaria, Canada, Finland, Hungary, Italy, Japan, Netherlands, Norway, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, South Korea, Spain, Switzerland, Ukraine, and the United Kingdom, which accounts for approximately 39% of the contract value.

"This contract provides for the production of AMRAAM missiles, AMRAAM Telemetry System, initial and field spares, and other production engineering support activities," the DoD press service reports.

As Ukrinform reported earlier, the U.S.-based Global Military Products Inc. sealed with the U.S. Defense Department a $118.3 million contract for the purchase and delivery of Gepard self-propelled anti-aircraft systems for Ukraine.
