The State Department on Wednesday said it approved a potential $1.1 billion foreign military sale of AIM-120D-3 Advanced Medium Range Air-to-Air Missiles (AMRAAMs) to Finland. The pending deal for the RTX [RTX]-built AMRAAMs includes 405 missiles, eight guidance sections, and secure positioning using either the Selective Availability Anti-Spoofing Module or M-Code. Other equipment and support are also included. Finland already has AMRAAMs in its inventory. The sale is the first FMS approved in September by the State Department.
