The US is enhancing Tunisia’s anti-tank capabilities with the approval of a $108-million foreign military sale for FGM-148F Javelin missiles.
As announced by the Defense Security Cooperation Agency (DSCA), the US State Department has authorized the transfer of 184 Javelin missiles and 30 lightweight command launch units to the North African country.
The weapons are expected to bolster Tunisia’s long-term defense capacity, helping to protect its sovereignty and territorial integrity.
They will also assist the Tunisian Army in addressing national defense needs amid ongoing terrorist threats in the country.
In addition to missiles and launch units, Tunisia has requested spare parts, indoor and outdoor trainers, and maintenance and logistics support.
