The State Department has made a determination approving a possible Foreign Military Sale to the Government of Bulgaria of Javelin FGM-148F missiles and related equipment for an estimated cost of USD 114 million, a Pentagon press release reads.
The Javelin FGM-148F is a man-portable anti-tank system. This proposed sale will support the foreign policy and national security objectives of the United States by helping to improve the security of a NATO Ally that is an important force for political and economic stability in Europe, the Pentagon writes.
