Hellfire Missile Sale to Singapore Notified to Congress
DSCA issued a Congressional notification on July 15, 2026, for the sale of AGM-114 Hellfire missiles to Singapore. Hellfire is a precision munition fired from air platforms, effective against armored vehicles and point targets.
Singapore maintains munition compatibility across its US-sourced platforms, including F-16s, F-35s, and Apache helicopters. The sale aligns with Singapore’s deterrence-focused defense doctrine and its effort to keep its precision-strike inventory current amid rising tensions in the Indo-Pacific.
Hellfire’s versatility across land and maritime targets gives Singapore added flexibility against diverse threat scenarios.
