WASHINGTON (Sputnik) – The US Department of State has approved two possible sales of military equipment worth $329 million to Egypt, the Defense Security Cooperation Agency (DSCA) said on Wednesday.
"The State Department has made a determination approving a possible Foreign Military Sale to the Government of Egypt of Light Tactical Vehicle Chassis and Fleet Build and related equipment for an estimated cost of $200 million," DSCA said in a statement.
In a separate statement, DSCA said the State Department had approved a potential sale to Egypt of 28-Meter Patrol Craft Kits and related equipment valued $129 million.
The DSCA said it has provided the required certification to Congress for both sales.
"The Government of Egypt has requested to buy additional light tactical vehicle chassis and fleet build that will be added to a previously implemented case," DSCA said.
