values were under-reported and are

The Government of Egypt has
requested to buy forty-six thousand
(46,000) 120MM Target Practice—Tracer
(M831A1) and 120MM Target Practice,
Cone Stabilized, Discarding Sabot—
(M865) rounds and ten thousand
(10,000) 120MM 4th-Generation Kinetic
Energy-Tungsten (KE-W) A4 ArmorPiercing Fin-Stabilized Discarding Sabot
with Tracer (APFSDS-T) rounds. Also
included are four thousand five
hundred (4,500) 120MM Insensitive
Munitions High Explosive with Tracer
(IM HE-T) tank rounds, field
implementation, testing inspections,
spares and repair parts, support and test
equipment, field support publications

support services, personnel training and
training equipment, quality assurance
team support services, preparation of
ammunition for shipment, ammunition
delivery, component improvement
program and repair, other associated
equipment and support, and other
related elements of logistical and
program support. The estimated cost is
$201 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 continues to be an
important strategic partner in the
Middle East.
The proposed sale will improve
Egypt’s capability to meet current and
future threats and provide greater
security for its critical infrastructure.
Egypt will use the 120MM IM HE-T
cartridges to maintain a strategic
munitions inventory for its M1A1 tank
fleet and in support of operations
against militants affiliated with the
Islamic State of Iraq and Syria in the
Sinai. They will use the target practice
rounds to train M1A1 crews in proper
crew procedures in a training
environment using munitions that cost
a fraction of tactical rounds and have
nearly zero explosive or penetrating
capability. Egypt has been producing
this type of ammunition under an
existing co-production agreement for
approximately 15 years. Egypt intends
to use the APFSDS-T rounds to replace
older model 120MM KE-W, KE-W Al,
and KE-W A2 ammunition to maintain
a strategic munitions inventory for its
M1A1 tank fleet. Egypt will have no
difficulty absorbing these munitions
into its armed forces.
The proposed sale of the munition
and support will not alter the basic
military balance in the region.

proposed sale.
