The U.S. State Department has authorized the potential sale of FIM-92K Stinger Block I Missiles to Morocco.
The deal is valued at $825 million, according to the Pentagon.
The decision comes after careful review and approval from U.S. authorities, marking a significant step in strengthening bilateral defense relations.
The sale includes advanced missile systems designed to enhance Morocco’s defense capabilities.
RTX Corporation will serve as the principal contractor for the transaction.
The move underscores the U.S.’s commitment to supporting its allies in maintaining regional security.
While the approval sets the stage for the deal, the final transaction is contingent on the Moroccan government’s acceptance and further procedural steps.
The Stinger missiles are a key component in modern air defense, providing Morocco with enhanced protection against aerial threats.
This sale further aligns with U.S. efforts to bolster defense cooperation across the Middle East and North Africa.
