The US Defense Security Cooperation Agency has notified Congress of a potential foreign military sale (FMS) of AGM-114R1 Hellfire missiles and associated equipment to the Republic of Korea.

Under the estimated $81m sale, South Korea has requested for the supply of 400 AGM-114R1 Hellfire II semi-active laser missiles with containers, 100 ATM-114Q air training missiles, and 12 M36E8 Hellfire II captive air training missiles.

South Korea intends to use the Hellfire missiles to supplement its existing missile capability and current weapon inventory, while strengthening its homeland defence and to deter regional threats.


The sale is expected to contribute to South Korea's force modernisation goals and enhance interoperability with the US forces.

"The sale is expected to contribute to South Korea's force modernisation goals and enhance interoperability with the US forces."

The transaction directly contributes to the foreign policy and national security objectives of the US by addressing the legitimate security and defence requirements of South Korea, which is one of the major political and economic powers in East Asia and the Western Pacific, and a key partner of the US in ensuring peace and stability in the region.

Lockheed Martin will serve as prime contractor of the FMS programme.

The Hellfire II missile uses a semi-active laser homing guidance system and an integrated blast fragmentation sleeve warhead to engage targets that previously required multiple Hellfire variants.

The AGM-114 Hellfire is a precision-strike, multi-purpose missile designed primarily to provide anti-armour capabilities for attack helicopters against a wide range of targets in the battlefield.

Designed for launch from multiple air, sea and ground platforms, the 100lb missile features semi-active laser seekers, a guidance computer and steering control, as well as propulsion systems, and can also be used by lock-on before or after launch for enhanced platform survivability.

Those are AGM-114R1 Hellfire II -- ours were AGM-114R Hellfire II in the report -- wonder whats the difference
 
This PARTICULAR Variant R 2 is for soft vehicles like trucks and jeeps

The warhead is different in R 2 ; the warhead destroys the target not the missile

I guess you will want to be stupid by choice. No surprises there.
 
I don't see any relation of this news with Pakistan ... :what:

Both South Korea and Pakistan has requested US in similar way few years ago.

Let's see here - AH-1Z Viper, 1000 Hellfire II Missiles approved for sale to Pakistan. | Page 16

I think he is giving an idea about how much of the $1billion is for the 1000 hellfires.

You are right. 80 million for 400 AGM-114R1 Hellfire II.

AH-1Z Viper itself is very high cost than Hellfire missiles.

Pakistan should jump on the guided rocket train.


APKWS,Talon or DAGR, those cost 1/4 to 1/3 of a Hellfire missile.

The Romeo II is for all targets......US Army will be procuring only this version from now on.....seriously, does it make sense for a chopper like AH64 or AH-1Z to carry multiple types of missiles? Anti armor means there will be infantry and IFVs as well....makes sense to have an all aspect missile.

But Indians cannot fathom.
 
Guys,
For once let our Indian friends find some respite from the :flame: that is burning after hearing the AH-1Z are heading for PAA.

If they think that the Hellfire-II is not anti-armor let them remain in fools paradise. They are going to see what it is capable of once it is fired then they would start to believe.

Till that time we should relax and enjoy.
What's there to burn .India is already in process of acquiring 39 Ah- 64D Block 3 may be more after this deal may be buy thousands of Hellfire or might get Jv project to build it's own.


A only PDF fanboy's in there fools paradise think that this deal will be the game changer in Indian perspective.

Till the enjoy your fanboy dream.

These are new type of US weapons and would not be offered. More over it would require more weapons training.
