Kosovo has requested 246 FGM-148F Javelin missiles and related equipment from the US. (Javelin Joint Venture)
The US State Department notified the US Congress on 11 January of a possible Foreign Military Sales of Javelin anti-tank missiles to Kosovo for an estimated cost of USD75 million, the US Defense Security Cooperation Agency (DSCA) announced in a press release later the same day.
Kosovo has requested 246 FGM-148F Javelin missiles, including six fly-to-buy missiles; 24 Javelin Lightweight Command Launch Units (LWCLUs); Javelin LWCLU basic skills trainers; Javelin outdoor trainers; missile simulation rounds; outdoor training instructor stations; battery coolant units; system integration and check-out; life-cycle support; Javelin manuals; tools; Javelin gunner, ammunition technical officer, and maintenance training; and other elements of logistics and programme support.
The DSCA said the proposed sale would support US foreign policy goals and national security by improving Kosovo’s security and long-term defence capacity to defend its sovereignty and territorial integrity.
