McDonnell Douglas Corp. has reportedly signed deals worth $400 million with Israeli defense contractors.
The vice president of business development for the St. Louis-based aerospace firm said the company is looking for long-term partnerships with defense contractors, instead of just purchasing Israeli products.
Three years ago, McDonnell Douglas pledged to buy $780 million in Israeli goods to help offset the cost of its $2 billion sale of F-15I jets to the Israel Defense Force.
