U.S. moves forward with billions in arms sales to Israel and (Persian) Gulf states using emergency authority

The Trump administration has notified Congress of new arms deals worth billions of dollars for Israel and several (Persian) Gulf countries, with the State Department invoking “emergency authority” to bypass the standard congressional review process.

The package includes the sale of 10,000 Advanced Precision Kill Weapons System (APKWS) rounds to #Israel, valued at nearly $992 million. Similar #APKWS systems were also approved for #Qatar and the #UAE.

Additional deals include a $2.5 billion Integrated Battle Command System for Kuwait and over $4 billion to replenish Patriot missile systems for Qatar.

#VAMPIRE_complex intercepted a #Russian cruise missile. It is usually used against drones, but #Ukrainian Defenders managed to intercept a missile using it, as well.

#VAMPIRE is a portable complex that can be mounted on most cargo-carrying vehicles (e.g. #SUVs) to launch low-cost #APKWS missiles or other laser-guided munitions. The system is self-contained and can be installed on any ground vehicle in a matter of hours.
