Spain is to expand its procurement of extended-range Raytheon AIM-120C-8 Advanced Medium-Range Air-to-Air Missile (AMRAAM) for its fleet of Eurofighter (C16 in national service) and Boeing EF-18 (C15) Hornet combat aircraft, as well as for the National Advanced Surface-to-Air Missile System (NASAMS) ground-based air-defence system.

With 68 AIM-120C-8 AMRAAM missiles having been authorised by the Spanish Council of Ministers in October for an estimated EUR100 million (USD108 million), the US Congress in its official record published in early December said that 655 AIM-120C-8 AMRAAM missiles, as well as related equipment and services, will be provided for an estimated USD1.93 billion.
