For the same reason the US government gives Israel money for other projects: to save American lives, especially the lives of American servicemen.

Adam ,   Canada   (10.28.12)
Because they need it if you think people are not out to kill Americans you are greatly fooled
5. #1 There is a very simple answer
Isac   (10.28.12)
Since Schockama undermines the U.S. defense forces, the U.S. Department of Defense is looking for better weapons: Made in Israel. I love it!
6. 1 Because USA doesn't want Iran to ruin USA economy

7. the US government isn't giving money for this weapon
zionist forever   (10.28.12)
I would have thought the reason the US navy is giving money to Israel for this weapon because they think it will suit their needs so they are willing to spend money to buy it and they don't care where its made as long as they can have it. The fact that the US government gives Israel money to spend on American weapons has nothing to do with the US navy choosing to spend some of their budget on Protector. Congress gives Israel money to spend on American weapons and Congress also gives the navy money to spend on anything they want including Israeli weapons.

Military aid is good for the US because the money has to be spent on American weapon. If Israel buys American weapons with military aid it also has to use its own money to buy parts. If Israel is buying American weapons with aid then its not economical for Israel to develop its own version of this American weapon which means less competition to have to deal with on the international export markets. If countries want a certain kind of weapon but they don't make their own version they have to buy American because there is no Israeli alternative. Military aid gives the US a veto on Israeli sales of its own weapons. They have forced Israel not to go ahead with a multi billion Dollar deal with China. They have tried to block sales of Israeli AWAC systems to various countries and then offer Boeing versions. Military aid & political support buys America the political influence they have in Israel. The benefits might not always be visible at first glance but America gets more by supporting & arming Israel than it would if it didn't. Not supporting or arming Israel wouldn't suddenly solve America's economic problems or make everybody love America.

What part of the words "surface unmanned combat capability" do you not understand? Surface. SURFACE. Unmanned submarines do not operate on the SURFACE.

Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (10.28.12)
If Israel is selling a particular technology, it is because it has been superseded .... Israel does not fear its enemies; but its "friends" -- well, that's another story.
21. re # 18
LARRY ,   USA   (10.28.12)
the israeli air force takes american f15 fighters and strips out all major american avaionics to be replaced by israeli equipment which is far more suited for there needs . further more there tanks are the world leader in crew safety bar none .
22. #12 the numbers don't add up
Gee ,   Zikron Yaakov   (10.28.12)
The US aids Israel to the tune of say $3 billion a year, while giving the Arabs another $15 billion/yr. The US is running a multi-trillion dollar deficient. While that $3 billion does a lot of good, the US gets back about $15 billion/yr in Israeli aid, technology and intelligence. So cutting this $3 billion/yr will all of sudden balance the budget and employ millions of Americans? Where did you learn math - Chicago?
23. to 1; because they buy by US weapons with it.
CB   (10.28.12)

The reasons for the US purchase the surface craft have to do with three issues:(1)Surface craft are easier to deal with,if problems occur. (2)These drones are easier to avoid radar,because of their cross section and are quieter than sub drones.(3) Superior Israeli technology in the surface craft allow for better control and faster speed. Now you can go back to reading your comic books.

U.S. is not 'giving' money to Israel. They are making purchases just as Israel does with US. The unmanned, underwater drones are currently used along with surface buoys and other asset for mine detection and demolition. This differs from the attack capacity of the surface drones. If you follow military/aerospace developments you will be amazed at the ranges of cutting edge developments of current US military. At same time Israel is by far the most advanced for its size and budget.

Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (10.28.12)
Really? Then why does the United States insist that all U.S. defense contractors insert a back-end provision in contracts with Israel which require Israel to make available to those U.S. defense firms all improvements made to military materiel? You are consumed by your hatred for Israel and the Jewish people. Strange you should choose to live in Sands Point ..... or are you a just a maid or a nanny in a Jewish home?
28. To #1.
Ben Ze'ev ,   Pnama City Panamadrj   (10.29.12)
Because Israel gives the US money for certain weapins above and beyond the nearly $3 billion "grant" which has to go back to America, supporting the hundreds of thousands of American jobs.
