Defense Minister Israel Katz says that the deal will secure the Israel Air Force’s “operational edge for years ahead.”

The Israeli Ministry of Defense announced last week that it signed an arms deal with Elbit Systems worth about $130 million to integrate advanced Israeli technologies on 12 new helicopters.

The new fleet is expected to replace the Israel Air Force’s aging U.S.-built Sikorsky CH-53 “Yas’ur” heavy transport helicopters.

The latest CH-53K “Pereh” helicopters were purchased through a Foreign Military Sales agreement signed several years ago between the defense ministry and the U.S. government, the ministry said in a statement.
