BEIRUT: The U.S. State Department has approved a deal to sell six military aircraft to Lebanon, along with other military hardware and support equipment as part of a proposed $462 million arms deal.

The proposed deal includes six A-29 Super Tucano planes, which are military aircraft specialized in light attacks, counter insurgency, close air support and reconnaissance missions, according to a statement released Wednesday by the Defense Security Cooperation Agency.
