The U.S. State Department has approved the potential sale of a naval strike missile coastal defense system and related equipment to Latvia for an estimated $110 million, the Pentagon said on Tuesday.
The sale comes as European demand for U.S. weaponry is soaring, but instead of big-ticket items like jets and tanks, shopping lists are focused on cheaper, less-sophisticated items such as missiles, artillery, and drones that have proven critical to Ukraine's war efforts.
The package would include an unspecified number of tactical, and training missiles, mobile operational platforms, and integration and support equipment as well as spares and technical support, the Pentagon said.
