With the current $30 billion agreement of U.S. military aid to Israel set to expire in September 2018, and most of it already earmarked for F-35 fighter jets and other equipment, a new package aims to extend aid through 2028.
Defense News reported this week that Defense Minister Moshe Ya'alon has the Israeli government's approval to finance more purchases using what is called a "deferred payment plan" (DPP).
The plan would allow Israel to pay only interest and fees for near-term purchases. "Principal will be covered by the new Obama-pledged package that would extend annual foreign military financing (FMF) aid through 2028," the report says, quoting U.S. and Israeli sources.
Israel, the report adds, is banking on President Barack Obama's pledge to extend military aid after 2018.
A large bulk of the weaponry Israel is set to purchase is the V-22 tilt-rotor aircraft. Based on unofficial data, each V-22 costs almost $70 million. It has a flight range of about 1,600 kilometers and is capable of carrying 24 soldiers at a maximum speed of 400 kilometers per hour.

Could somebody remind me of any other country in the world that we've supported like this? Arming Turkey in this manner would actually serve us better, we would get something out of it.Of course, they don't pay at all for these near $35-$40 billion they get every decade, the original aid is only counted and not the extra programs the Congress funds.
