Israel renews interest in procurement of advanced hybrid aircraft Bell Boeing V-22 Osprey

Israel renews interest in procurement of advanced hybrid aircraft Bell Boeing V-22 Osprey, possibly to drop special forces “behind enemy lines” into Iran to attack the Fordo uranium enrichment facility:

• The purchase of the tilt-rotor aircraft would make Israel the second country outside the United States to deploy them after Japan, which bought four V-22 Ospreys in July 2016.
• In 2024 the US DoD notified Congress of its intention to sell six Ospreys to Israel in a deal worth $1.13 billion, deal later canceled.
• The Bell Boeing V-22 Osprey’s ability to fly fast as far 2,300 kilometers, along with its air-to-air refueling capabilities that can allow the aircraft to reach Iran.
