POLICY JUSTIFICATION 

Egypt—AGM–114K/R3 Hellfire II 

Missiles 

The Government of Egypt has 

requested a possible sale of 356 AGM– 

114K/R3 Hellfire II Air-to-Ground 

missiles with containers, spare and 

repair parts, support equipment, 

publications and technical 

documentation, personnel training and 

training equipment, U.S. Government 

and contractor engineering, technical 

and logistics support services, and other 

related elements of logistical and 

program support. The estimated cost is 

$57 million. 

This proposed sale will contribute to 

the foreign policy and national security 

of the United States by helping to 

improve the security of a friendly 

country that has been and continues to 

be an important force for political 

stability and economic progress in the 

Middle East. 

Egypt will use the enhanced 

capability as a deterrent to regional 

threats and to strengthen its homeland 

defense. While this potential sale would 

be the first transfer of the R variant of 

this missile to Egypt, Egypt already has 

the F and K variants in its inventory and 

will have no difficulty absorbing these 

additional missiles. 

The proposed sale of this equipment 

and support will not alter the basic 

military balance in the region. 

The principal contractor will be 

Lockheed Martin Corporation in 

Orlando, Florida. There are no known 

offset agreements proposed in 

connection with this potential sale. 

Implementation of the proposed sale 

will not require the assignment of any 

additional U.S. Government or 

contractor representatives to Egypt. 

There will be no adverse impact on 

U.S. defense readiness as a result of this 

proposed sale.
