The US Department of State has approved the sale to Lebanon of 6 A-29 Super Tucano light attack aircraft, reports Military Parity with reference to defensenews.com.

According to the resource, in addition to airplanes, “this package includes eight additional turboprop engines PT6A-68A, eight electronic countermeasures ALE-47, 2000 of advanced precision-guided missile APKWS (advanced precision kill weapon system), eight stations for detecting launch of AN-AAR- enemy missiles 60 (V) 2 and other equipment. " The estimated cost of delivery is about $ 462 million.

It is reported that military assistance will be provided "within the framework of the Saudi military grant in the amount of 1 billion US dollars, which was issued to Lebanon at the end of last year."

“In addition, on June 4, the Department of State announced the approval of the delivery of 1000 lungs aviation tactical guided missiles AGM-114 Hellfire II in the amount of 146 million dollars, which are intended to arm attack aircraft, as well as two Cessna Caravan aircraft, ”the newspaper said.

Lebanon is being fascized.

Some of these weapons, as well as previously delivered weapons from France, will definitely go to Hezbollah, especially ATGMs

Lebanese army receives Tou-2 missiles
TOW-2 portable anti-tank guided missiles were handed over to the Lebanese army, Altair reports today.
The transfer process was carried out at the international airport in Beirut. Lebanese received an unspecified amount of TOW-2 ATGMs (Tube-launched, Optically-tracked, Wire-guided) delivered by the US Army through the US Embassy

Lebanon is given the opportunity to fight against hezbollah (supported and armed by Iran) - which the government army has so far not been able to do

They themselves have not really decided! Camel growers, what do you take ...

Quite right, the next logical step for the United States should be the supply of weapons to Hamas in Gaza.

Well, normal logic! So only Israel is not fighting in this region now, and if it is drawn into the conflict. And the neighbors have full claims to Israel

[Arikkhab]

Hamas does not need supplies from the US - enough Middle Eastern, Turkish and European
plus supplying Hamas with weapons from the USA means angry Egypt

[Arikkhab]

try to prevent hezbollah from seizing power in Lebanon
and by the way, is France trying to cover the flank of Israel? France ??? to say this means to not understand the relations of France and Israel at all

[Ai yai]

US agreement is required, since these aircraft are equipped with American-made equipment and weapons.

subordinates always like that !!!

[Arikkhab]

Likewise, France cannot sell Mistrals with Russian equipment "to the left" - Russian permission is required to sell

Hezbollah will now press IS out, then the Saudis will arrange happiness in life, for supporting Israel and the United States.

But the most interesting thing is what is happening in Israel itself.
The Israeli Druze, despite the fact that the citizens from the Promised Land assured us of their endless loyalty to the Israeli regime, killed another batch of terrorists whom the Jews are treating on their territory and in the future refuse to let these maniacs go to Israeli clinics for treatment. If everything goes on and so on, Israel will face a civil war that is not sluggish as it is now, but "hot"
Majdal Shams. Druze lynched Syrian wounded
150 Druze attacked an IDF ambulance last night, inside of which were two Syrian wounded.
The attack occurred in the Majdal Shams area. One wounded as a result of the lynch was seriously wounded and died. The second wounded is in critical condition.
Druze claims wounded belonged to terrorist organization Jabhat al-Nusra

We have a special department in the hospital for the wounded from Syria, with separate wards for "representatives" from different sides and a military police post between them so as not to kill each other (they do not have their own hospitals there, so both sides drag the wounded to the fence at the border and thrown over the fence), and the IDF and UN patrols are picked up. then they are taken to the nearest hospitals. and there are a lot of children - on mines blown up, with fragmentation - we also treat

This is not a Super Tucano, this is an Embraer EMB 312 Tucano (Peruvian Air Force).
And here on your first photo is really the EMB-314 Super Tucano which is discussed in the article.

No, this is the Peruvian Embraer EMB 312 Tucano, and the Raytheon T-6 Texan II looks like this:

It is possible that the TOU will give her Lebanese troops and for free, because Hezbollah enters the Parliament of Lebanon and her police should officially enter the armed forces of this country in the event of hostilities.

Very much the price is somehow inadequate for turboprop aircraft - the SU-30 would be cheaper. The cut is specific)

Why didn’t the price suit you?

[Dan4eG]

Su-30 $ 83 million, total 498 million for aircraft
and here
"in addition to aircraft" this package includes eight additional PT6A-68A turboprop engines, eight ALE-47 electronic countermeasures systems, 2000 advanced precision kill weapon system (APKWS) guided high-precision missiles, eight AN / AAR-60 (V ) 2 and other equipment. ”The estimated cost of delivery is about $ 462 million.

Well, where did you drink?

The estimated value of the contract is $ 462 million. According to the blogger, "2 thousand 70 mm missiles with the semi-active APKWS laser guidance system will be transferred along with the aircraft." This has already been written on the site. Look at the transfer of weapons, because of this such a cost.

[Stirbjorn]

The planes are completely different. Turboprop attack aircraft, in my opinion this is something completely simple. And then a $ 83 million Indian-built aircraft. Our $ 50 million is just.
PS I looked specifically for minusculers - the United States ordered 20 A-29 Super Tucano for a total of $ 355 million, as of 2012. Their Brazilians are actually doing, and, apparently, the American big ones are coming to Lebanon

[atlantida04]

usa and israel friends ???
or is it for training Israeli air defense, like not a new generation of cars?
or Lebanon want to drive into debt?
