US approves sale of APKWS to Jordan

The United States State Department approved a proposed $100 million sale to Jordan of up to 1,500 Advanced Precision Kill Weapon System II rocket guidance kits on 2 November 2026. The notification allows for either WGU-59A/B or WGU-59B/B kits and gives Jordan the option of acquiring complete rounds instead of the guidance kits alone. Washington described the request as an air defence purchase under the Regional Security Construct’s Middle East Air Defence pillar. The announcement is an approval of a potential sale, with the final package and delivery timetable yet to be confirmed.
