The US State Department says it has “made a determination approving a possible” $1.96bn weapons sale to Saudi Arabia and a separate $484m aircraft sustainment package for Kuwait.
– In a statement, the department said the proposed Saudi deal includes up to 20,000 Advanced Precision Kill Weapon System guidance sections for air-to-air and air-to-ground use, along with launchers, warheads, spare parts, training and logistical support.
– The Kuwait package, it said, covers sustainment and related equipment for C-17 aircraft, including components, maintenance support, software, training and logistics services.
The weapons sales will go through after a congressional review.
