The US Congress on Friday approved the purchase of weapons and
technological systems from Israel's defense industries for $700
million. The advanced technological products will be acquired as part
of the American security budget for the coming year to be used by US
occupation forces in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Weapons and technological systems to be acquired from Jewish state's
defense industries include navigation and attack sensor system for
combat aircraft, UAV and advanced pilot helmets.
The United States had offered Israel unprecedented $30-billion military
aid package. The purchase of weapons from Israel is not part of
Israel's annual defense aid from the United States, which amounts to
$2.4 billion and is expected to grow in 2009 to an annual average of $
3 billion for the following 10 years.
Only one part of the security budget ` the production of the Arrow
anti-ballistic missile system and the research and development of other
defense missiles, the cost of which is estimated at $155 million ` is
related to special US aid, with the American Boeing company involved in
the manufacturing of parts of the Arrow missile.
