Brazil - FIM-92K Stinger Missiles

June 12, 2026

The U.S. Department of State has made a determination approving a possible Foreign Military Sale to the Government of Brazil for the purchase of FIM-92K Stinger Missiles and related equipment. The estimated total cost is $330 million.

The Government of Brazil has requested to buy one hundred (100) FIM-92K Stinger Block I missiles. The following non-major defense equipment items will also be included: gripstocks; engineering assistance; integration support services; U.S. Government and contractor engineering, technical, and logistics support services; and other related elements of logistics and program support. 

This proposed sale will enable Brazil to assume greater responsibility for its own territorial security and counter narco-terrorist operations within its borders and regional sphere.

The proposed sale will improve Brazil’s ability to meet current and future threats by providing the FIM-92K Stinger Block I missiles and thereby enhancing its air defense capability. This acquisition supports Brazil’s defense modernization efforts aimed at doing more for its own defense by securing South American airspace from illicit trafficking operations. Brazil will have no difficulty absorbing these articles and services into its armed forces.

The proposed sale of this equipment and support will not alter the basic military balance in the region.

The principal contractors will be RTX Corporation, located in Arlington, Virginia and Lockheed Martin, located in Syracuse, New York. At this time, the U.S. Government is not aware of any offset agreement proposed in connection with this potential sale. Any offset agreement will be defined in negotiations between the purchaser and the contractor.

Implementation of this proposed sale will not require the assignment of any additional U.S. Government or contractor representatives to Brazil.

There will be no adverse impact on U.S. defense readiness as a result of this proposed sale.
