As part of the continuous normalization between some Arab countries and the Zionist entity, "Israel" will supply Jordan with strategic and tactical unmanned aerial vehicles [UAVs].

According to a report by the "Israeli" DEBKAfile website, the deal will include "Israel" Aerospace Industries [IAI] Heron TP strategic and Elbit Systems Skylark tactical drones.

The report comes after a US official said last month that "Israel" gave retired US-supplied Cobra combat helicopters to Jordan.
The handover, initiated last year, was approved by Washington, which provided mechanical overhauls for the aircraft before they were incorporated free of charge in Jordan's existing Cobra fleet, the official said.

"These choppers are for border security," the official, who requested anonymity due to the sensitivity of the issue, told Reuters.

"Israel" originally had two Cobra squadrons - each consisting of around 30 of the aircraft, which are designed to back ground troops with aerial surveillance as well as machine gun and rocket fire, and to be nimble enough to elude surface-to-air missiles.

The Jordanian air force has 25 Cobras in service, according to the London-based International Institute for Strategic Studies. The Cobra's manufacturer is Bell Helicopter, a Textron company.

Following Egypt, Jordan signed a so-called "peace" deal with Tel Aviv in 1994. But they had maintained discreet security ties dating back to the early 1970s.
