Israel's Defense Ministry signed $6.91 billion in orders for U.S. equipment in 2025, comprising 1,402 procurement orders, a decrease from over 1,500 in 2024. Recent deals include the purchase of two Boeing KC-46 tankers and enhancements to the Sikorsky CH-53K helicopter.

These arms deals are largely funded by U.S. financial assistance linked to American equipment purchases. The announcement follows Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's commitment to reduce dependency on U.S. military financing.
