Pentagon Approves Arms Sales to Turkey

August 17, 1986|Associated Press

WASHINGTON — The Defense Department notified Congress it had approved the sale of howitzers and artillery-locating radar sets to Turkey.

Assuming there are no congressional objections, the Pentagon said Friday that the Turkish government would be offered 36 155-millimeter howitzers for $44 million and six AN-TPQ-36 radar sets for $27 million. The Army will oversee both transactions.

The Pentagon said the radar sets would be built by the Hughes Aircraft Corp. in Fullerton, Calif., while the howitzers would come from the Rock Island (Ill.) Arsenal.
