State Department, DOSThe State Department has approved Turkey’s request to buy Joint Direct Attack Munitions tail kits and related components from the U.S. under a potential $70 million foreign military sales agreement.

Boeing will act as the principal contractor for the sale that covers JDAM GBU-31(V)1, GBU-31(V)3, GBU-38, GBU-54 JDAM laser kits, FMU-152A/B fuzes and BLU-109 hard target penetrator warheads, the Defense Security Cooperation Agency said Monday.
