The Pentagon signed a contract with Raytheon Technologies for the production of six NASAMS anti-aircraft missile systems for the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The value of the agreements reaches $1.2 billion.
This was reported by the press service of the U.S. Ministry of Defense.
These will be manufactured by NASAMS in Tewksbury, Massachusetts. Estimated date of completion of works — November 28, 2025.
