The State Department has decided to approve a possible Foreign Military Sale to the Government of the Czech Republic of Hellfire Missiles and Advanced Precision Kill Weapon System and related elements of logistics and program support for an estimated cost of $138.26 million. The Defense Security Cooperation Agency delivered the required certification, notifying Congress of this possible sale today.
The Government of the Czech Republic has requested to buy two hundred (200) Hellfire Air-to-Ground Missiles, AGM-114R; four (4) Hellfire Captive Air Training Missiles (CATM); and six hundred (600) WGU-59A/B Advanced Precision Kill Weapon System (APKWS) II (single variant). The following non-MDE is also included: support equipment, dummy cartridge rounds, containers, training material, inert components, publications, repair of repairable, and training and technical support. The estimated total cost is $138.26 million.
This proposed sale will support the United States’ foreign policy goals and national security objectives by improving the security of a NATO Ally that is an important force for political stability and economic progress in Europe.
The proposed sale will improve the Czech Republic’s capability to strengthen its homeland defense and deter regional threats. This will contribute to its military goals of updating capability while further enhancing interoperability with the United States and other allies. The Czech Republic will have no difficulty absorbing this equipment into its armed forces.
