Overview
- The Israel package totals about $6.67 billion across four cases, led by 30 AH‑64E Apache helicopters valued up to $3.8 billion.
- Other Israeli requests include roughly 3,250 Joint Light Tactical Vehicles for about $1.98 billion, Namer armored personnel carrier power packs for $740 million, and AW119Kx light utility helicopters for $150 million.
- Saudi Arabia was notified for a separate purchase of 730 PAC‑3 Patriot missiles and support equipment estimated at $9 billion to strengthen integrated air and missile defense.
- The State Department says the proposed transfers support partners’ self‑defense, increase interoperability, and do not alter the region’s basic military balance.
- Prime contractors named include Boeing and Lockheed Martin for Apaches, AM General for JLTVs, Rolls‑Royce Solutions America for Namer power packs, Leonardo Helicopters for AW119Kx, and Lockheed Martin for PAC‑3, as some lawmakers criticize the timing and oversight process.
