Zitat:Egypt – M109A5 155mm Self-propelled Howitzers
On 29 July 2005, the Defense Security Cooperation Agency notified Congress of a possible Foreign Military Sale to Egypt of 200 M109A5 155mm self-propelled howitzers as well as associated equipment and services. The total value, if all options are exercised, could be as high as $181 million.
The Government of Egypt has requested a possible sale of 200 M109A5 155mm self-propelled howitzers, overhaul/refurbishment, intercoms, spare and repair parts, support and test equipment; publications and technical documentation, personnel training and training equipment Quality Assurance Team, U.S. Government and contractor engineering and logistics personnel services, and other related elements of logistics support. The estimated cost is $181 million.
This proposed sale will contribute to the foreign policy and national security of the United States by helping to improve the security of a friendly country that has been, and continues to be, an important force for political stability and economic progress in the Middle East.
