The US State Department has approved more than $6.5 billion in potential military sales to Israel in three separate contracts, the Pentagon says.
The US State Department approved a potential sale of Joint Light Tactical Vehicle and related equipment for an estimated cost of $1.98 billion, and another sale of AH-64E Apache Helicopters for $3.8 billion, the Pentagon says in separate statements.
A third military contract was also awarded for $740 million to provide Namer armored personnel carrier power packs, less transmissions and integrated logistics support.
The principal contractor for the first sale is AM General, while Boeing and Lockheed Martin are the contractors for the sale of Apache helicopters.
