Germany should reinforce its fifth-generation F-35A fighter fleet with the acquisition of AIM-12D-3 AMRAAM AR-AR-AR-AR-AR-AR-AR-AR-AR-AR-ARS, one of the most advanced long-range models produced by the United States.
The US State Department has already approved the possible sale of 400 units, making the country one of the few foreign customers of this version.

The contract, still in the negotiation phase, can reach the value of US $ 1.23 billion and include not only missiles, but also complementary equipment and support services. RTX Defense Company (Raytheon) was designated as the main responsible for the execution of the supply.
According to authorities, the new version of the AMRAAM will ensure greater air defense capacity to Germany, allowing to intercept air targets over 150 kilometers away. The country already operates previous versions of the missile and should integrate the update without difficulty, following the steps of allies such as Poland, Finland, Italy and the Netherlands, who also received permission to acquire the weaponry.
