SINGAPORE, July 2 (Reuters) - The U.S. State Department has approved the sale of an additional 24 Hellfire missiles to Singapore, along with other related logistics and program support.

  • In total, Singapore has ordered 67 AGM-114R Hellfire missiles, along with spare parts, repair services, support equipment, training as well as engineering and logistics support, at an estimated total cost of $22.3 million, the State Department said in a statement. Lockheed Martin LMT.N is the principal contractor for the order.

  • Hellfire missiles are air-to-ground subsonic missiles with anti-tank capabilities. The State Department said the proposed sale "will not alter the basic military balance in the region".

  • In a post on its website on Wednesday, Singapore's defence ministry said the missiles will be equipped on the air force's AH-64D Apache helicopters and support its routine training and operational requirements.
