• Italy is evaluating a US $364 million deal for 5,031 APKWS guidance kits, turning unguided missiles into cheap precision weapons against drones.
  • The kits would let Eurofighters engage drones without firing costly AMRAAM missiles, which cost roughly ten times as much.
  • The RAF already deployed APKWS on its Eurofighters in May, completing testing and fielding within just two months.
