The US Department of Defense announced on Thursday that the United States has given the Raytheon-Lockheed Martin Javelin Joint Venture a $311 million contract for 1,800 Javelin missiles to replenish stocks deployed to Ukraine.

“The Army awarded a production contract for $311 million on Sep. 13 to the Javelin Joint Venture (JJV) between Raytheon Missiles and Defense and Lockheed Martin for delivery of more than 1,800 Javelins that will serve as replenishment for those rounds from DoD stocks sent to Ukraine in support of their military and security forces,” the Department said in a press release.

The agreement also covers the Army's purchase and production of missiles for Jordan and Lithuania in FY22, according to the press statement.
