The U.S. State Department has approved a possible Foreign Military Sale to Denmark of Advanced Medium Range Air-to-Air Missiles – Extended Range and related equipment for an estimated cost of up to $951 million.

The Defense Security Cooperation Agency (DSCA) delivered the required certification notifying Congress.
