Saudi Arabia Approves $1.96 Billion Purchase of 20,000 APKWS II Laser-Guided Rockets for Anti-Drone Role
The U.S. State Department has approved a potential $1.96 billion arms sale to Saudi Arabia comprising 10,000 APKWS II air-to-air guidance kits and 10,000 air-to-ground kits — totaling 20,000 laser-guided rockets. The deal is intended to give the Royal Saudi Air Force a cost-effective counter-drone capability against Houthi and Iranian one-way attack drones, equipping its F-15SA and Eurofighter Typhoon fleets with a low-cost precision weapon.
