Pakistan is likely to receive the AIM-120 Advanced Medium-Range Air-to-Air Missiles (AMRAAM) from the US, amidst improvement in ties between the two countries, a media report said on Tuesday.
An arms contract recently notified by the United States Department of War lists Pakistan among the buyers for AIM-120 AMRAAM, The Express Tribune reported. According to the DoW, Raytheon, the manufacturer of AMRAAM, was given a modification of over $41.6 million on a “previously awarded contract (FA8675-23-C-0037)” based on “firm-fixed-price (P00026)” for the production of the missile’s C8 and D3 variants.
The modification, which includes Pakistan among its foreign military sales recipients, raises the total value of the contract to over $2.51 billion.
