US approves Nigerian guided weapons request

The US government has approved a Nigerian request for laser-guided air-launched munitions worth an estimated USD346 million, the US Defense Security Cooperation Agency (DSCA) announced on 13 August.

The request covered 5,000 Advanced Precision Kill Weapon System II (APKWS II) laser-guided missiles, 1,002 GBU-12 laser-guided bombs (500 lb Mk 82 general purpose warheads with Paveway II guidance kits), and 515 Paveway II kits for 250 lb Mk 81 warheads (to make GBU-58s) that were not included in the request.

When the DSCA announced in August 2017 that a Nigerian request for 12 A-29 Super Tucano turboprop light attack aircraft had been approved, it said it included 100 GBU-12, 100 GBU-58, and 400 APKWS guidance kits that upgrade 70 mm air-to-surface rockets into laser-guided missiles.
