The U.S. State Department approved three potential arms sales to the United Kingdom, Finland and Lithuania, the Pentagon said on Monday as Ukraine’s European allies continue to stock up on munitions after flooding Kyiv with donations.
The department also approved a potential sale to Finland of 150 advanced anti-radiation guided missiles worth $500 million, according to a separate Pentagon statement on Monday. The missiles are used to destroy an enemy’s radar arrays in the hopes of rendering the adversary blind to attack.
Northrop Grumman (NOC.N) would be the principal contractor for the transaction with Finland.
