The requested missile total includes 20 rounds intended for testing in the United States. The package also includes simulators, training devices, spare parts, equipment for safe operation, technical and training documentation, and training and logistics support.
The approval covers a proposed transaction rather than a completed purchase. The final value will be determined following approval of the government-to-government Letter of Offer and Acceptance, known as an LOA.
Javelin JV, a joint venture between RTX and Lockheed Martin, produces the FGM-148F missiles. The manufacturer has delivered more than 55,000 missiles across the Javelin family to a growing number of operators.
The weapon has seen extensive use during the war in Ukraine in recent years. NATO member states have supplied large quantities through military assistance programs.
Egypt already fields anti-tank guided missiles from several manufacturers, including weapons assembled domestically under license. Javelin has not previously formed part of that inventory.
