The US State Department has approved a possible US$730 million foreign military sale for more than 200 AIM-120C-8 Advanced Medium Range Air-to-Air Missiles (AMRAAM) to the government of Denmark.
The US Congress was notified of the possible foreign military sale by the US Defense Security Cooperation Agency (DSCA) on 5 December 2025.
The possible sale includes the 200 AMRAAMs, three AIM-120-C8 AMRAAM guidance sections, AMRAAM control sections, containers, support equipment, spare parts, consumables, accessories, repair and return support, weapons software and support equipment.
“This proposed sale will support the foreign policy goals and national security objectives of the United States by improving the security of a NATO ally that is a force for political stability and economic progress in Europe,” according to a statement from the US DSCA.
“The proposed sale will improve Denmark’s capability to meet current and future threats by ensuring it has modern and capable air-to-air munitions. This sale will further advance the already high level of Danish Air Force interoperability with US Joint Forces and other regional and NATO forces.
“Denmark will have no difficulty absorbing these articles and services into its armed forces. The proposed sale of this equipment and support will not alter the basic military balance in the region.
“Implementation of this proposed sale will not require the assignment of any additional US government or contractor representatives to Denmark. There will be no adverse impact on US defence readiness as a result of this proposed sale.”
The principal contractor is expected to be RTX Corporation.
