"WASHINGTON ― The U.S. State Department has OK’d the potential sale of AIM-120 Advanced Medium Range Air-to-Air Missile variants for the United Kingdom and Denmark.

The U.K. sale comes with an estimated cost of $650 million and covers up to 200 AIM-120D weapons, along with the associated missile containers, support equipment and technical support.

Denmark’s sale is smaller, with a targeted purchase of 28 AIM-120 C-7 weapons, along with associated support and a single AMRAAM spare guidance section, at an estimated cost of $90 million.

The weapons will likely support the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter [duh]. Both nations have agreed to purchase the Lockheed Martin-made jet, which has run successful tests with the AIM-120...."

I wonder then if this confirms that the F-35 can currently use the AIM-120D with Block 3F (vs just the C7), or if this is for future use, etc?

Nope, 3F is still the C7.

Raytheon set to begin production of upgraded version of AMRAAM missile with new guidance section.......
