Israel’s military industry exports last year reached $108 million-$36 million more than the previous year. This was reported yesterday by military industry chiefs who said that 50 countries purchase the products of the Israeli military industry.
The details were given at a preview of the military industry pavillion at Israel’s economic and industrial exhibition opening tonight. Israel’s industrial and economic progress through the 25 years of statehood will be exhibited at the pavillion. Israel’s “Gabriel” missile is on public display for the first time at the stand of the Israeli aircraft industry side-by-side with the civilian and military versions of the Arava planes and the Commodore jet executive plane. Marine radar and airfield radar installations are also displayed.
A spokesman for the Israeli aircraft industry has denied French allegations that Israel is producing jet engines for the Mirage interceptors.
