- The Thunderbird 1 was purchased by Saudi Arabia, with 37 second-hand missiles purchased in 1967.
- Finland planned to purchase either the Thunderbird or Bloodhound missile in the early 1960s. The sale did not go ahead, but the country did take delivery of some training systems in late 1960s, used in training until late 1979. The delivery of these examples did not include warhead or propellant. Two airframes are on display in museums.
Negotiations were also held with Libya and Zambia.
