US to Provide ’Israel’ with 6 ’Osprey’ Aircrafts

Local Editor

The Pentagon plans to sell six tilt-rotor Osprey aircraft to the Zionist entity in a long-planned deal worth $1.13 billion, officials said Tuesday.

"Israel" will become the first foreign entity to be allowed to purchase the V-22 Osprey, which can take off like a helicopter and fly like a turboprop airplane.

US officials had announced plans to sell the Osprey to "Israel" last year but the Pentagon unveiled details of the arms package Tuesday in a formal notification to Congress, which has 15 days to raise any objections to the sale.

Apart from the V-22s, the package includes radar, missile warning systems, radios, night vision goggles, navigation systems and other equipment for the Ospreys, according to the War Security Cooperation Agency.

The US Marine Corps has pioneered the use of the Osprey and commanders have touted the aircraft as able to move troops faster and over longer distances than a helicopter.

The Osprey was plagued by accidents and technical problems in its early years but has been heavily used by the Marines in Afghanistan. The Air Force also uses the Osprey for its special operations forces.

The United States has committed itself to maintaining "Israel's" "qualitative military edge" and provides about $3 billion in grants every year, representing about 20 percent of "Israeli" war budget.
