The US has approved $510 million sale of munitions guidance kits and related support to Israel, the State Department announced, according to TRT World.

The potential sale includes 3,845 KMU-558B/B Joint Direct Attack Munition (JDAM) guidance kits for BLU-109 bomb bodies and 3,280 KMU-572 F/B JDAM kits for MK 82 bomb bodies, along with associated engineering, logistics, and technical support, the Defence Security Cooperation Agency (DSCA) said in a statement.

“This proposed sale will enhance Israel’s capability to meet current and future threats by improving its ability to defend its borders, vital infrastructure, and population centers,” the DSCA said.

“The United States is committed to the security of Israel, and it is vital to US national interests to assist Israel to develop and maintain a strong and ready self-defense capability. This proposed sale is consistent with those objectives.”

The statement added that the implementation of the sale won’t “alter the basic military balance in the region” and won’t require the assignment of additional US government or contractor representatives to Israel.
