American AMRAAM sales to the region, initially to the United Arab Emirates and then to Bahrain. In March 1999, the DOD approved a $110 million sale of 26 AIM-120B AMRAAMs to Bahrain.

Once this initial barrier was broken, AMRAAM sales quickly followed to Egypt, Israel, Oman, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates.
