"Ya'alon Cancels the Procurement of the V-22 Ospreys"

Defense Minister decided to cancel the purchase of the helicopter aircraft,
according "Israel Hayom" newspaper.
Much more than both excerpts through
http://www.israeldefense.com/?CategoryI ... cleID=3192
According to the publication, the decision was made contrary to the position of the IDF,
and officials in Israel fear it will spark rage in the administration in Washington.

As recalled, Israel has agreed with the US on the purchase of six V-22 Osprey aircraft, manufactured by Boeing.
It should be noted that the transaction has not yet been formally signed.
The transaction value is about $10 billion :shock: , and it also included the acquisition of refueling aircraft, radars and more.
