Israel and Turkey have agreed to jointly produce the sophisticated Popeye II air-to-ground missile in a deal initially worth about $100 million dollars, an official from Rafael, Israel's arms development company said.

Turkey has already bought 50 Popeye I missiles for its fleet of F-4s currently being upgraded at Israel Aircraft Industries. But the new deal would involve a consortium to be established between two Turkish firms and Rafael to jointly produce the Popeye II, a smaller missile, but with more advanced technology.
