DoD OKs $1.7 Billion In Arms Sales To Spain, Israel, 4 Others
August 03, 2007: 06:59 PM EST






WASHINGTON -(Dow Jones)- The Defense Department on Friday approved $1.7
billion in foreign arms sales to six countries, including $780 million in radar
and missile systems for Spain and $465 million in missiles and bombs to Israel. The Defense Security Cooperation Agency, which coordinates foreign military
sales, notified Congress of the deals Friday as lawmakers were preparing to
leave for the August recess. Congress has the power to block such sales but
rarely steps in. Spain has requested a possible sale of two MK 7 Aegis radar and missile
systems, which can defend ships from enemy missiles, and related equipment.
Lockheed Martin Corp. (LMT), Raytheon Co. (RTN), and General Dynamics Corp. (GD)
are the prime contractors. Offset agreements, which some countries require when making big weapons
purchases, are expected as part of the Spanish deal. Offsets have not yet been
determined, the U.S. defense agency said. Israel has requested a $465 million package that includes a range of
precision-guided weapons and other equipment. The deal includes 10,000 Joint
Direct Attack Munitions, or JDAM, tail kits; a slate of Paveway II weapons kits;
and an array of bombs and fuzes. Boeing Co. (BA), Alliant Techsystems Inc. (ATK), Lockheed Martin, Northrop
Grumman Corp. (NOC), Honeywell International Inc. (HON) and General Dynamics are
the main contractors on the Israeli package. There are no known offset
agreements, the defense agency said. "Israel's strategic position makes it vital to the United States' interests
throughout the Middle East," the U.S. defense agency said. "The United States must provide timely and robust assistance that will help
protect the sovereignty of the State of Israel. Israel, which already has these
munitions in its inventory, will have no difficulty absorbing these additional
kits," the agency said. Other potential arms sales approved Friday: -Canada has requested $209 million in radar warning receivers and related
equipment, for upgrading its F/A-18 fighters. Raytheon and Boeing are the main
contractors. -Bahrain has requested a $160 million package that includes six Bell 412
search-and-rescue helicopters, made by Textron Inc.'s (TXT) Bell Helicopter
unit. -Brazil has requested $58 million in submarine combat systems and related
equipment. Lockheed Martin is the main contractor.
-Morocco has requested a $29 million package that includes 60 155mm self-
propelled howitzers. These will be from the U.S. Army's excess inventory and
there is no associated contractor.

Pourquoi pas une petite centaine de M1 abrams.

bcp trop couteux , et je voudrais pas voir les FAR dans la mm situation que les pharaons qui se sont fait arnaké par les americains ont ayant accepté de prendre de vieuuuuuuuuu M1A1 avec des canon de 105mm , donc a la place je verrai bien des LeoII avec un upgrade isarélien de nos M-60A3 , ou prk pas des T-90

Ah c'est pour ca que les Egyptiens aligne plus de 1000 abram's au faite c'est que de la feraille.

Non moi je parlé de M1A2 le meme q'utilise le koweit ou l'Arabie saoudite.

nn nn de nos jours y'a bcp mieu que les abrams

les ricains s'arrengent bien pour ne vendre aux pays arabes que les armes d'occasion pour que d'une part ils soient tjrs à leur mércie en matière de pièce de rechange et de crainte que ces pays ne possèdent des technologiesplus avancés qui pourrai un jour menacé l'etat hebreux (genre leo2, rafale, europhighter...)
