Washington’s Defense Security Cooperation Agency (DSCA) has notified the U.S. Congress of a possible sale to Turkey of 225 AIM-9X Sidewinder missiles, five AIM-9X dummy air training missiles, and 20 AIM-9X captive air training missiles under the Pentagon’s Foreign Military Sales program, according to a DSCA statement.
The total value of the potential deal, including associated equipment and services, could reach $96 million if all options are exercised, the agency said. The Turkish government’s requested purchase would include the missiles, missile containers, modifications, test sets and support equipment, repair parts, publications and technical data, maintenance, training and technical support services.
