Chile fighter Deal Progresses
The Pentagon has taken the next major step required for Lockheed
Martin to sell F-16s to Chile, with notification to the U.S. Congress
having been submitted on the eve of the Paris Air Show. The potentially
$714 million deal would sell ten F-16s and two KC-135 tankers.
The F-16s will be equipped with Litening 2 navigation and targeting
pods and rocket launchers. AMRAAM is not being sold, although
Chilean officials note it wasn't formally requested, either.
