The '''Harpoon''' is an all-weather, [[Over-the-horizon radar|over-the-horizon]], [[anti-ship missile]] 
manufactured by [[McDonnell Douglas]] (now [[Boeing Defense, Space & Security]]). The [[Standoff Land Attack Missile |AGM-84E Standoff Land Attack Missile]] (SLAM) and later [[AGM-84H/K SLAM-ER]] (Standoff Land Attack Missile – Expanded Response) are [[cruise missile]] variants.

The regular Harpoon uses [[active radar homing]] and flies just above the water to evade defenses. The missile can be launched from:
* [[Fixed-wing aircraft]] '''(AGM-84)''', without the [[solid-fuel rocket]] [[Booster (rocketry)|booster)]]
* [[warship|Surface ships]] '''(RGM-84)''', fitted with a solid-fuel rocket booster that detaches when expended, to allow the missile's main [[turbojet]] to maintain flight
* [[Submarine]]s '''(UGM-84)''', fitted with a solid-fuel rocket booster and encapsulated in a container to enable submerged launch through a [[torpedo tube]]
* Coastal defense batteries '''(RGM-84)''', from which it would be fired with a solid-fuel rocket booster<ref>{{cite web |lang= en |url= http://www.strategic-air-command.com/missiles/Aircraft-Launched_Missiles/agm-84_harpoon_missile.htm |title= AGM-84 Harpoon Missile |access-date= 13 January 2024}}</ref>

In 1965, the [[United States Navy]] began studies for a missile in the {{convert|45|km|nmi|adj=on|order=flip}} range class for use against surfaced [[submarine]]s. The name Harpoon was assigned to the project. The sinking of the Israeli [[destroyer]] {{INS|Eilat|1955|2}} in 1967 by a Soviet-built [[P-15 Termit|Styx]] anti-ship missile shocked senior United States Navy officers, who until then had not been appreciative of the threat posed by anti-ship missiles. In 1970 [[Chief of Naval Operations]] Admiral [[Elmo Zumwalt]] accelerated the development of Harpoon as part of his "Project Sixty" initiative, hoping to add much-needed striking power to U.S. surface warships such as the {{sclass|Ticonderoga|cruiser}}.

The Harpoon has also been adapted for carriage on several aircraft, including the [[P-3 Orion]], the [[P-8 Poseidon]], the [[AV-8B Harrier II]], the [[F/A-18 Hornet]] and the [[U.S. Air Force]] [[B-52 Stratofortress|B-52H bombers]].<ref name="auto">{{Cite web |title=Harpoon |url=https://missilethreat.csis.org/missile/harpoon/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231205155633/https://missilethreat.csis.org/missile/harpoon/ |archive-date=5 December 2023 |access-date=21 March 2022 |website=Missile Threat |language=en-US}}</ref> The Harpoon was purchased by many nations, including India, Japan, [[Singapore]], South Korea, [[Taiwan]], the [[United Arab Emirates]] and most [[NATO]] countries.<ref>{{Cite web |date=19 November 2015 |title=US To Sell Harpoon Anti-Ship Missile to South Korea |url=https://www.defenseworld.net/news/14634/US_To_Sell_Harpoon_Anti_Ship_Missile_to_South_Korea |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220321094232/https://www.defenseworld.net/news/14634/US_To_Sell_Harpoon_Anti_Ship_Missile_to_South_Korea |archive-date=21 March 2022 |access-date=21 March 2022 |website=Defense World}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |last=M |first=Samseer |date=2015-05-14 |title=Japan to purchase UGM-84L Harpoon Block II missiles from US |url=https://www.naval-technology.com/uncategorised/newsjapan-to-purchase-ugm-84l-harpoon-block-ii-missiles-from-us-4578068/ |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230326024740/https://www.naval-technology.com/uncategorised/newsjapan-to-purchase-ugm-84l-harpoon-block-ii-missiles-from-us-4578068/ |archive-date=2023-03-26 |access-date=2022-03-21 |website=Naval Technology |language=en-US}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |date=2021-08-03 |title=US Approves Harpoon Missile Deal With India Worth USD 82 Million |url=https://www.ndtv.com/india-news/us-approves-harpoon-missile-deal-with-india-worth-usd-82-million-2501407 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230326024750/https://www.ndtv.com/india-news/us-approves-harpoon-missile-deal-with-india-worth-usd-82-million-2501407 |archive-date=2023-03-26 |access-date=2022-03-21 |website=NDTV.com}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |last=Allison |first=George |date=2015-11-19 |title=South Korea purchase additional Harpoon missiles |url=https://ukdefencejournal.org.uk/south-korea-purchase-additional-harpoon-missiles/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230326024750/https://ukdefencejournal.org.uk/south-korea-purchase-additional-harpoon-missiles/ |archive-date=2023-03-26 |access-date=2022-03-21 |website=UK Defence Journal |language=en-GB}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |date=1998-06-11 |title=United Arab Emirates Buys Boeing Harpoon Weapon System |url=https://boeing.mediaroom.com/1998-06-11-United-Arab-Emirates-Buys-Boeing-Harpoon-Weapon-System |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230331191737/https://boeing.mediaroom.com/1998-06-11-United-Arab-Emirates-Buys-Boeing-Harpoon-Weapon-System |archive-date=2023-03-31 |access-date=2022-03-21 |website=Boeing}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |last=Tandon |first=Kashish |date=2021-06-17 |title=Taiwan Signs Another Major Deal With The US To Ward Off China; Will Acquire HIMARS & Harpoon Missiles |url=https://eurasiantimes.com/taiwan-signs-another-major-deal-with-the-us-to-ward-off-china-will-acquire-himars-harpoon-missiles/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230925125733/https://www.eurasiantimes.com/taiwan-signs-another-major-deal-with-the-us-to-ward-off-china-will-acquire-himars-harpoon-missiles/ |archive-date=2023-09-25 |access-date=2022-03-21 |website=EurAsian Times |language=en-US}}</ref>

The [[Royal Australian Air Force]] can fire AGM-84-series missiles from its [[Boeing F/A-18E/F Super Hornet|F/A-18F Super Hornets]]. [[Lockheed AP-3C Orion|AP-3C Orion]], and [[P-8 Poseidon]] aircraft, and previously from the now retired [[General Dynamics F-111C|F-111C/Gs]] and [[McDonnell Douglas F/A-18 Hornet|F/A-18A/B Hornets]]. The [[Royal Australian Navy]] deploys the Harpoon on major surface combatants and in the {{sclass|Collins|submarine|1}}s. The [[Spanish Air Force]] and the [[Chilean Navy]] are also AGM-84D customers, and they deploy the missiles on surface ships, and F/A-18s, F-16s, and [[Lockheed P-3 Orion|P-3 Orion aircraft]]. The British [[Royal Navy]] formerly deployed the Harpoon on several types of surface ships.{{citation needed|date=September 2017}}

The [[Republic of Singapore Air Force]] also operates five modified [[Fokker 50]] Maritime Patrol Aircraft (MPA) which are fitted with the sensors needed to fire the Harpoon missile. The [[Pakistani Navy]] carries the Harpoon missile on its frigates and P-3C Orions. The [[Turkish Navy]] carries Harpoons on surface warships and [[Type 209 submarine]]s. The [[Turkish Air Force]] will be armed with the SLAM-ER.{{citation_needed|date=August 2019}} [[Turkey]] is planning to replace the Harpoons with Turkish made [[Atmaca]] missiles.

At least 339 Harpoon missiles were sold to the [[Republic of China Air Force]] (Taiwan) for its F-16 A/B Block 20 fleet and the [[Republic of China Navy]], which operates four guided-missile destroyers and eight guided-missile frigates with the capability of carrying the Harpoon, including the eight former U.S. Navy {{sclass|Knox|frigate|1}}s and the four former USN {{sclass|Kidd|destroyer|1}}s which have been sold to Taiwan. The two {{sclass|Zwaardvis|submarine|5}}/''Hai Lung'' submarines and 12 P-3C Orion aircraft can also use the missile. The eight {{sclass|Cheng Kung|frigate|1}}s, despite being based on the US {{sclass|Oliver Hazard Perry|frigate|4}}, have Harpoon capabilities deleted from their combat systems, and funding to restore it has so far been denied, the [[Republic of China Navy]] (Taiwan) decided to switch to the [[Hsiung Feng II]] and [[Hsiung Feng III]].{{citation needed|date=July 2014}}

The Block 1 missiles were designated A/R/UGM-84A in US service and UGM-84B in the UK. Block 1B standard missiles were designated A/R/UGM-84C, Block 1C missiles were designated A/R/UGM-84D. Block 1C used a terminal attack mode that included a pop-up to approximately {{convert|1800|m|ft|order=flip}} before diving on the target; Block 1B omitted the terminal pop-up; and Block 1C provided a selectable terminal attack mode.<ref name="dessys">{{cite web |last=Parsch |first=Andreas |title=Boeing (McDonnell Douglas) AGM/RGM/UGM-84 Harpoon |url=http://www.designation-systems.net/dusrm/m-84.html |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160303192258/http://www.designation-systems.net/dusrm/m-84.html |archive-date=3 March 2016 |access-date=12 March 2016 |website=Directory of U.S. Military Rockets and Missiles}}</ref>

===SLAM ATA (Block 1G)===
This version, under development{{When|date=April 2016}}, gives the SLAM a re-attack capability, as well as an image comparison capability similar to the [[Tomahawk cruise missile]]; that is, the weapon can compare the target scene in front of it with an [[image]] stored in its onboard [[computer]] during terminal phase target acquisition and lock on (this is known as [[DSMAC]]).{{citation needed|date=March 2016}} Block 1G missiles A/R/UGM-84G; the original [[AGM-84H/K SLAM-ER|SLAM-ER missiles]] were designated AGM-84H (2000-2002) and later ones the AGM-84K (2002 onwards).{{citation_needed|date=August 2019}}

===Harpoon Block 1J===
Block 1J was a proposal for a further upgrade, A/R/UGM-84J Harpoon (or Harpoon 2000), for use against both ship and land targets.{{citation_needed|date=August 2019}}

In production at Boeing facilities in [[Saint Charles, Missouri]], is the Harpoon Block II, intended to offer an expanded engagement envelope, enhanced resistance to [[electronic countermeasures]] and improved targeting. Specifically, the Harpoon was initially designed as an open-ocean weapon. The Block II missiles continue progress begun with Block IE, and the Block II missile provides the Harpoon with a [[littoral]]-water anti-ship capability.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Harpoon Anti-Ship Missile {{!}} Military-Today.com |url=http://www.military-today.com/missiles/harpoon.htm |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231204235025/https://www.militarytoday.com/missiles/harpoon.htm |archive-date=2023-12-04 |access-date=2022-03-21 |website=www.military-today.com}}</ref>

===Harpoon Block II+===
On 18 November 2015, the U.S. Navy tested the AGM-84N Harpoon Block II+ missile against a moving ship target. The Block II+ incorporates an improved GPS guidance kit and a net-enabled [[data-link]] that allows the missile to receive in-flight targeting updates. Introduction of the Block II+ was achieved in 2017 on the F/A-18E/F followed by the P-8A in 2019.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Burgess |first1=Richard |date=13 August 2020 |title=Navy Orders 24 Harpoon Cruise Missiles from Boeing |url=https://seapowermagazine.org/navy-orders-24-harpoon-cruise-missiles-from-boeing/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230422054056/https://seapowermagazine.org/navy-orders-24-harpoon-cruise-missiles-from-boeing/ |archive-date=22 April 2023 |access-date=17 April 2023 |website=Seapower Magazine}}</ref>

===Harpoon Block III===
Harpoon Block III was intended to be an upgrade package to the existing USN Block 1C missiles and Command Launch Systems (CLS) for guided missile cruisers, [[guided missile destroyer]]s, and the [[F/A-18E/F Super Hornet]] fighter aircraft. After experiencing an increase in the scope of required government ship integration, test and evaluation, and a delay in development of a data-link, the Harpoon Block III program was canceled by the U.S. Navy in April 2009.{{citation_needed|date=August 2019}}

===Harpoon Block II+ ER===
In April 2015, Boeing unveiled a modified version of the RGM-84 it called the Harpoon Next Generation. It increases the ship-launched Harpoon missile's range from the Block II's {{convert|70|nmi|mi km|abbr=on}} to {{convert|167.5|nmi|mi km|abbr=on}}, along with a new lighter {{convert|300|lb|kg|abbr=on}} warhead and a more fuel-efficient engine with electronic fuel controls. Boeing offered the missile as the U.S. Navy's [[Littoral Combat Ship]] frigate upgrade over-the-horizon anti-ship missile as a cost-effective missile upgrade option; complete Next Gen Harpoons would cost approximately as much as a Block II at $1.2 million each, with upgrades for an existing missile costing half that.<ref name="thediplomat20april15"/><ref>{{cite web |last=LeGrone |first=Sam |date=16 April 2015 |title=Boeing Will Offer Modified Harpoon Missile for Littoral Combat Ships |url=http://news.usni.org/2015/04/16/boeing-will-offer-modified-harpoon-missile-for-littoral-combat-ships |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160307093040/http://news.usni.org/2015/04/16/boeing-will-offer-modified-harpoon-missile-for-littoral-combat-ships |archive-date=7 March 2016 |access-date=12 March 2016 |work=U.S. Naval Institute}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |last=Osborn |first=Kris |date=12 May 2015 |title=Next-Generation Harpoon Missile Offered to Navy |url=https://www.military.com/dodbuzz/2015/05/12/next-generation-harpoon-missile-offered-to-navy |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180325110211/https://www.military.com/dodbuzz/2015/05/12/next-generation-harpoon-missile-offered-to-navy |archive-date=25 March 2018 |access-date=12 March 2016 |website=military.com}}</ref> The version is also called the Harpoon Block II+ ER.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.military.com/daily-news/2016/02/02/boeing-says-harpoon-missile-light-enough-littoral-combat-ship.html?ESRC=todayinmil.sm |title=Boeing Says Harpoon Missile Light Enough for Littoral Combat Ship |last=Seck |first=Hope Hodge |website=Military.com |date=2 February 2016 |access-date=12 March 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160313041306/http://www.military.com/daily-news/2016/02/02/boeing-says-harpoon-missile-light-enough-littoral-combat-ship.html?ESRC=todayinmil.sm |archive-date=13 March 2016 |url-status=live }}</ref> Boeing claims the Block II+ ER is superior to the [[Naval Strike Missile]] through its improved turbojet giving it greater range and active radar-homing seeker for all-weather operation, as well as a lighter but "more lethal" warhead.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Drew |first=James |date=12 May 2016 |title=Boeing backs extended-range Harpoon to stave off Kongsberg threat |url=https://www.flightglobal.com/boeing-backs-extended-range-harpoon-to-stave-off-kongsberg-threat/120582.article |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160818132002/https://www.flightglobal.com/news/articles/boeing-backs-extended-range-harpoon-to-stave-off-kon-425271/ |archive-date=18 August 2016 |website=Flight Global}}</ref> Test shots in 2017 had been confirmed.<ref>{{cite web |last=Burgess |first=Richard R. |date=2017-01-10 |title=Navy to Shoot Extended-Range Harpoon This Year |url=http://seapowermagazine.org/stories/20170110-harpoon.html |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170317055145/http://seapowermagazine.org/stories/20170110-harpoon.html |archive-date=2017-03-17 |access-date=2017-03-16 |website=Sea Power Magazine}}</ref> In May 2017, Boeing revealed it was no longer offering the upgraded Harpoon for the frigate OTH missile requirement, but would continue development of it.<ref>{{Cite web |last=LaGrone |first=Sam |date=2 May 2017 |title=Boeing Takes Harpoon Out Of LCS/Frigate Over-the- Horizon Missile Competition |url=https://news.usni.org/2017/05/02/boeing-drops-off-littoral-combat-shipfrigate-horizon-missile-competition |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170503002332/https://news.usni.org/2017/05/02/boeing-drops-off-littoral-combat-shipfrigate-horizon-missile-competition |archive-date=3 May 2017 |website=U.S. Naval Institute}}</ref>

In 1981 and 1982, there were two accidental launches of Harpoon missiles: [[USS Coontz (DDG-40)#DDG-40 |one by the United States Navy]] which caused no damage and [[1982 Harpoon missile misfire incident|the other by the Danish Navy]], which destroyed and damaged buildings in the recreational housing area [[Lumsås]]. The Danish missile was later known as the ''hovsa-missile'' (''hovsa'' being the [[Danish language|Danish]] term for ''oops'').<ref>{{Cite web |title=The launching of the Oops-missile |url=http://www.pederskram.dk/the-history/ups-and-downs-of-the-frigate/launching-of-the-oops-missile.aspx |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201108111100/http://www.pederskram.dk/the-history/ups-and-downs-of-the-frigate/launching-of-the-oops-missile.aspx |archive-date=2020-11-08 |access-date=2021-05-26 |website=Fregatten Peder Skram}}</ref>

In 1986, the [[United States Navy]] sank at least two Libyan [[patrol boat]]s in the [[Gulf of Sidra]]. Two Harpoon missiles were launched from the cruiser {{USS|Yorktown|CG-48|6}} with no confirmed results and several others from [[A-6 Intruder]] aircraft that were said to have hit their targets.<ref>{{Cite web |date=7 April 1986 |title=High-Tech Firepower |url=http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0%2C9171%2C961035%2C00.html |url-access=subscription |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130824213932/http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,961035,00.html |archive-date=24 August 2013 |access-date=12 March 2016 |website=[[Time (magazine)|Time]]}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |first=Ronald |last=Reagan |url=http://www.reagan.utexas.edu/archives/speeches/1986/32686h.htm |title=Letter to the Speaker of the House of Representatives and the President Pro Tempore of the Senate on the Gulf of Sidra Incident |date=26 March 1986 |access-date=12 March 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150924111724/http://www.reagan.utexas.edu/archives/speeches/1986/32686h.htm |archive-date=24 September 2015 |url-status=live }}</ref> Initial reports claimed that USS ''Yorktown'' scored hits on a patrol boat, but action reports indicated that the target may have been a false one and that no ships were hit by those missiles.<ref>{{cite news |date=27 March 1986 |title=Pentagon Revises Libyan Ship Toll |url=https://www.nytimes.com/1986/03/27/world/pentagon-revises-libyan-ship-toll.html |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140626121729/http://www.nytimes.com/1986/03/27/world/pentagon-revises-libyan-ship-toll.html |archive-date=26 June 2014 |work=[[The New York Times]]}}</ref>

In 1988, Harpoon missiles were used by the U.S. to sink the Iranian frigate [[IRIS Sahand (1969)|''Sahand'']] during [[Operation Praying Mantis]]. Another was fired at the Iranian [[Kaman-class fast attack craft|''Kaman''-class missile boat]] ''Joshan'', but failed to strike because the [[fast attack craft]] had already been mostly sunk by [[RIM-66 Standard]] missiles. An Iranian-owned Harpoon missile was also fired at the [[guided missile cruiser]] {{USS|Wainwright|CG-28|6}}. The missile was successfully lured away by [[Chaff (countermeasure)|chaff]].<ref>{{cite news |last=Cushman |first=John H.

The UGM-84A undersea-launched Harpoon version was retired from U.S. Navy service in 1997, leaving the U.S. submarine force without an anti-ship missile, a capability that is not planned to be reintroduced until the [[BGM-109 Tomahawk|Block IV Tomahawk]] is modified with a moving target maritime attack feature in 2021.<ref>{{Cite web |last=LaGrone |first=Sam |date=18 February 2016 |title=WEST: U.S. Navy Anti-Ship Tomahawk Set for Surface Ships, Subs Starting in 2021 |url=https://news.usni.org/2016/02/18/west-u-s-navy-anti-ship-tomahawk-set-for-surface-ships-subs-starting-in-2021 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170611002318/https://news.usni.org/2016/02/18/west-u-s-navy-anti-ship-tomahawk-set-for-surface-ships-subs-starting-in-2021 |archive-date=11 June 2017 |website=U.S. Naval Institute}}</ref> During RIMPAC 2018 a UGM-84 Harpoon was fired by USS ''Olympia'' at the ex-USS ''Racine''.<ref>{{cite web |last=Rogoway |first=Tyler |date=11 July 2018 |title=U.S. Navy Sub To Fire Harpoon Anti-Ship Missile Years After They Left The Force |url=http://www.thedrive.com/the-war-zone/22106/u-s-navy-sub-to-fire-harpoon-anti-ship-missile-years-after-they-left-the-force |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180727085021/http://www.thedrive.com/the-war-zone/22106/u-s-navy-sub-to-fire-harpoon-anti-ship-missile-years-after-they-left-the-force |archive-date=27 July 2018 |access-date=27 July 2018 |website=The Drive}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |title=USS Olympia (SSN 717) Participates in SINKEX |url=https://www.dvidshub.net/video/613905/uss-olympia-ssn-717-participates-sinkex |website=Defense Visual Information Distribution Service |access-date=27 July 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180727085130/https://www.dvidshub.net/video/613905/uss-olympia-ssn-717-participates-sinkex |archive-date=27 July 2018 |url-status=live }}</ref> The U.S. Navy plans to refurbish and recertify UGM-84 Harpoon missiles to reintroduce the capability to {{sclass|Los Angeles|submarine|1}}s.<ref>{{Cite web |last=McLeary |first=Paul |date=18 December 2018 |title=Navy To Begin Arming Subs With Ship-Killer Missile |url=https://breakingdefense.com/2018/12/navy-arms-subs-with-ship-killer-missile-harpoon/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181218211701/https://breakingdefense.com/2018/12/navy-arms-subs-with-ship-killer-missile-harpoon/ |archive-date=18 December 2018 |website=Breaking Defense}}</ref> A $10 million contract was awarded to Boeing in January 2021 to deliver the missiles by the end of the year.<ref>{{Cite web |last=McLeary |first=Paul |date=10 February 2021 |title=They’re Back: US Subs To Carry Harpoon Ship-Killer Missiles |url=https://breakingdefense.com/2021/02/theyre-back-us-subs-to-carry-harpoon-ship-killer-missiles/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210210164455/https://breakingdefense.com/2021/02/theyre-back-us-subs-to-carry-harpoon-ship-killer-missiles/ |archive-date=10 February 2021 |website=Breaking Defense}}</ref>

In June 2009, it was reported by an American newspaper, citing unnamed officials from the Obama administration and the [[U.S. Congress]], that the American government had accused Pakistan of illegally modifying some older Harpoon missiles to strike land targets. Pakistani officials denied this and they claimed that the US was referring to a new Pakistani-designed missile. Some international experts were also reported to be skeptical of the accusations. Robert Hewson, editor of [[Jane's Information Group|Jane's Air Launched Weapons]], pointed out that the Harpoon is not suitable for the land-attack role due to deficiency in range. He also stated that Pakistan was already armed with more sophisticated missiles of Pakistani or Chinese design and, therefore, "beyond the need to reverse-engineer old US kit." Hewson offered that the missile tested by Pakistan was part of an undertaking to develop conventionally armed missiles, capable of being air- or surface-launched, to counter its rival India's missile arsenal.<ref>{{cite news |work=The New York Times |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2009/08/30/world/asia/30missile.html |title=US Says Pakistan Made Changes to Missiles Sold for Defense |last1=Schmitt |first1=Eric |last2=Sanger |first2=David E. |date=29 August 2009 |access-date=12 March 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170331142255/http://www.nytimes.com/2009/08/30/world/asia/30missile.html |archive-date=31 March 2017 |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{cite web |website=Rediff.com |url=http://news.rediff.com/report/2009/aug/30/pakistan-modified-missile-to-use-against-india-says-us-report.htm |title=Pakistan illegally modified Harpoon missile: Report |date=30 August 2009 |agency=PTI |access-date=12 March 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160303232011/http://news.rediff.com/report/2009/aug/30/pakistan-modified-missile-to-use-against-india-says-us-report.htm |archive-date=3 March 2016 |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{cite news |agency=PTI |url=http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2009-09-01/us/28085062_1_harpoon-strike-land-targets-pakistani-government |title=Harpoon missile modification by Pak very serious: US |date=1 September 2009 |access-date=12 March 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130623173942/http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2009-09-01/us/28085062_1_harpoon-strike-land-targets-pakistani-government |archive-date=23 June 2013 |work=[[The Times of India]] |url-status=dead }}</ref> It was later stated that Pakistan and the US administration had reached some sort of agreement allowing US officials to inspect Pakistan's inventory of Harpoon missiles,<ref>{{Cite web |last=Iqbal |first=Anwar |date=4 September 2009 |title=Pakistan allows US to inspect Harpoons |url=http://www.dawn.com/wps/wcm/connect/dawn-content-library/dawn/news/pakistan/09-pakistan-allows-us-to-inspect-harpoons--szh-11 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090908063258/http://www.dawn.com/wps/wcm/connect/dawn-content-library/dawn/news/pakistan/09-pakistan-allows-us-to-inspect-harpoons--szh-11 |archive-date=September 8, 2009 |website=dawn.com}}</ref> and the issue had been resolved.<ref>{{cite web |date=28 September 2009 |title=US confusion on Harpoon missile clarified: Naval Chief |url=http://thenews.jang.com.pk/updates.asp?id%3D87764 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20091005201507/http://thenews.jang.com.pk/updates.asp?id=87764 |archive-date=October 5, 2009 |access-date=September 28, 2009 |website=The News International}}</ref>
