The deal is big by historical standards. The biggest-ever deal by an Israeli defense company is the sale of the Arrow 3 by Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI) to Germany in 2023 for $3.5 billion. At the end of June, Rafael Advanced Defense Systems won a tender from the Romanian Ministry of Defense to purchase a short-range and ultra-short-range air defense system (V/SHORAD) for about $2.2 billion. Before the Arrow 3 sale, the record sale was of the Barak 8 missile systems (MRSAM) manufactured by IAI to India in April 2017, for approximately $1.6 billion and a month later, the naval version of Barak 8 missiles were sold to India for an additional $630 million.
No response has been forthcoming from Elbit Systems.
