🇺🇸US approves sale of 3,900 SDB IIs for Australia F-35s.
The $815 million Foreign Military Sale package includes the 3,900 weapons, test equipment, training equipment, and other support, says the Defense Security Cooperation Agency on its web site.
“The proposed sale of SDB II supports and complements the ongoing sale of the F-35A to the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF),” says the DSCA.
“This capability will strengthen combined operations, particularly air to ground strike missions in all-weather conditions, and increase interoperability between the United States and the RAAF.
Australia will have no difficulty absorbing this equipment into its armed forces.”
