POLICY JUSTIFICATION
Egypt—AGM–114K/R3 Hellfire II
Missiles
The Government of Egypt has
requested a possible sale of 356 AGM–
114K/R3 Hellfire II Air-to-Ground
missiles with containers, spare and
repair parts, support equipment,
publications and technical
documentation, personnel training and
training equipment, U.S. Government
and contractor engineering, technical
and logistics support services, and other
related elements of logistical and
program support. The estimated cost is
$57 million.
This proposed sale will contribute to
the foreign policy and national security
of the United States by helping to
improve the security of a friendly
country that has been and continues to
be an important force for political
stability and economic progress in the
Middle East.
Egypt will use the enhanced
capability as a deterrent to regional
threats and to strengthen its homeland
defense. While this potential sale would
be the first transfer of the R variant of
this missile to Egypt, Egypt already has
the F and K variants in its inventory and
will have no difficulty absorbing these
additional missiles.
The proposed sale of this equipment
and support will not alter the basic
military balance in the region.
The principal contractor will be
Lockheed Martin Corporation in
Orlando, Florida. There are no known
offset agreements proposed in
connection with this potential sale.
Implementation of the proposed sale
will not require the assignment of any
additional U.S. Government or
contractor representatives to Egypt.
There will be no adverse impact on
U.S. defense readiness as a result of this
proposed sale.
