Israeli innovations in the field of warfare lure many armies around the world. The US military is on the way to signing a huge deal to acquire Israeli systems for the protection of tanks. For the time being, the US military is examining the possibility of installing the ‘Windbreaker’ system, which has proved itself more than once in battles involving Israeli tanks.

General David Bassett, who is in charge of US ground combat systems, said this week, “We are very close to deciding on a windbreaker. The total deal is currently estimated at several million dollars, which will reach Rafael’s coffers and from there to the state coffers.

This acquisition will affect additional acquisitions as a system by the US military will affect other armies to acquire a ‘windbreaker’ system.
