Oshkosh Defense announced in early December that the Israeli Ministry of Defense (IMOD) has placed two orders for Oshkosh Joint Light Tactical Vehicles (JLTV) for the Israel Defense Forces (IDF). In total, Israel is purchasing 75 JLTVs through Foreign Military Sales (FMS) and dozens more through Direct Commercial Sale (DCS).
Commenting on the contract, Tim Bleck, Senior Vice President of Oshkosh Corporation, said, “We are proud to support the Israel Defense Forces with a fleet of protected and highly mobile Joint Light Tactical Vehicles. We have worked with the IMOD for more than a decade on a variety of programs, and we look forward to demonstrating our continued commitment to this partnership with the JLTV.” Just earlier in November, Oshkosh Defense received a €192 million contract from the US Army for additional JLTVs, JLTV trailers and associated kits, as well as a €148 million contract for JLTVs for international allies such as Mongolia, Romania, North Macedonia, Slovenia and Slovakia.
