Israel Considering Procurement of V-22 Osprey

Issue: 05-2018

Israel is considering joining the potential procurement of V-22 Osprey tilt-rotor aircraft with a larger heavy-lift package that aims to replace its fleet of aged CH-53 Yasur helicopters. Tel Aviv had initially put a pause on buying six Ospreys last year, three years after the US State Department cleared the potential sale. However, the freeze was short-lived with Israeli officials restarting talks over their purchase late last year. According to NAVAIR officials, any sale of V-22s would be part of a package with heavylift helicopters. Israel is considering both the Sikorsky CH-53K King Stallion and the Boeing CH-47F Chinook, adding that European countries such as Italy, Norway, Spain and the UK have also been targeted as potential foreign buyers for the Osprey.
