رغم انها صفقة نوعية لكن اعتبرها صفقة لاسكات ترمب حول مطالبته للأوروبيين بزيادة الإنفاق العسكري لهم

الالمان يبدو انهم متسرعين لحصول على هدا الصاروخ رغم انهم صرحوا سنة 2016 انهم يريدون تطوير جزء من مخزون AGM-88B HARM الى AGM-88E AARGM

AARGM missiles will become a part of the armament inventory of the German and Italian Air Forces. As we were informed by the spokesperson for the German MoD: „Germany has chosen to upgrade a subset of the AGM-88B HARM missiles to AGM-88E AARGM.”. In this way, Luftwaffe is going to become the second user of the said missiles, among the European NATO member states.

The deliveries of the conversion kits for the HARM missiles, upgrading them to the AARGM version, are expected to take place starting from 2020. This is related to the time constraints, namely the time which needs to pass from the moment of signing the agreement, to the first deliveries. The works are to include most of the HARM missiles that remain in storage, however some of them will be left unmodified, in their standard AGM-88B version, until the end of their operational lifetimes.

ايطاليا و التي هي شريك في المشروع قامت بتطوير 19 صاروخ بقيمة 14.7 مليون دولار

Recently, another contract has been signed, concerning the deliveries of kits that are going to make it possible to convert the Italian Air Force’s HARM missiles to the AARGM variant. According to the release published by the Pentagon on 26th September, the contract in question is related to a full scale conversion of 19 missiles, within the framework of the 5th series production lot. The works will be covered with an amount of USD 14.7 million.
