Against the backdrop of the active use of drones in Ukraine, demand for drones began to grow worldwide. In particular, Israel Aerospace Industries was able to sign a contract of record value to supply drones.

Here's What We Know

The Israeli manufacturer received two contracts - from the Israel Defense Forces and from an unknown state. The contract value for the IDF, which continues to build up its fleet of drones, was $600 million, a repeat of the record deal that was signed between Germany and Israel Aerospace Industries to supply Heron TP drones, aka IAI Eitan.

The second contract was worth $400 million. But we're unlikely to know in the near future which country bought the Israeli drones. Previously, the top three drone contracts included Hermes-900 and Heron drone deals worth $300 million and $200 million, respectively.
