In addition, the Defense Ministry is in talks with a number of countries, including Colombia, over the possible sale of the Merkava, the IDF’s main battle tank, The Jerusalem Post has learned. Israel has never sold the Merkava, the largest military platform it manufactures independently.
The decision to open the Merkava for export was made by Defense Ministry directorgeneral Udi Shani as part of an effort to increase Israeli defense sales to around $10 billion annually.
Head of Defense Ministry Meets with Colombian President
Israel and Colombia have displayed warm relations over the years, and last week the Director General of Israel’s Ministry of Defense visited Colombia to meet with the country’s top security officials
Danielle Cohen
On Friday (Oct. 22) the Director General of Israel’s Ministry of Defense, Maj. Gen. (res.) Udi Shani returned to Israel after his first visit of this kind to Bogota. He was sent to Columbia by Minister of Defense Ehud Barak. During his visit, Maj. Gen. Shani met with the Columbia President Juan Manuel Santos Calderon, along with the Colombian Minister of Defense, the top echelons of the Ministry of Defense, and top Colombian military officials including the Chief of Staff, the Air Force Commander and the Naval Commander.
Over the years, Colombia has become one of Israel’s closest friends in the world in general, and in South America in particular. According to top security officials, “Shani’s visit to Colombia was intended to deepen the strategic, security, and industrial relationship between the countries and their security systems, while emphasizing Defense Ministry policies related to security export. The foundations for continued successful cooperation between the countries were laid during this visit.”
The security officials discussed policy on security export and the publicity of this year’s wild competition between Israeli security industries to supply Colombia with unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). Ultimately no Israeli company won the bid. Because of this incident and a number of others, the Ministry of Defense decided to strengthen its supervision over security exports, with the goal of enabling a competitive and free market on one hand, while preventing wild competition between the industries which could harm Israel’s political, security and economic interests.
Colombia is considered the South American country most similar in character to Israel, and over the years warm and friendly relations between the two nations have been built. This is in part due to similar challenges that Colombia faces as a democratic country dealing with an internal armed conflict against FARC and other extremist threats.

Reversing a 30-year-old policy barring sales of its frontline Merkava main battle tank, Israel’s MoD is offering its latest Mk4 combat system for export to select customers on a case-by-case basis, officials here say.
The move was driven by economic and workforce considerations. And because steel, other raw materials, its German-designed, but U.S.-built engine and other U.S.-origin content is funded by U.S. military aid, officials here say sales will be fully coordinated with Washington.
“It’s a new policy; a strategic decision,” said Udi Shani, director-general of Israel’s MoD. “It’s driven by the need for additional income to provide for our own military needs. Also, if we can produce more [Mk4s], we’ll be able to prolong the line and ensure continued work for our people.”

no se están pudiendo permitir el Nammer con los dineritos del presupuesto ordinario de defensa y los están teniendo que comprar con la platita de regalo. Eso no es para nada bueno.

Iris... no hubo pruebas. Decidieron que querían Leopard 2 y hasta ahí. Igual que un día decidieron que querían T-90 y al parecer han comprado un centenar largo de esos también. Y especialmente no probaron ningún Merkavá. Arabia Saudita va a comprar Merkavás el día que el gallo ponga.
