A total of 16 Israeli
companies exhibit at the defense exhibition in Azerbaijan. The companies
are led by the International Defense Cooperation Agency of the Israeli
Ministry of Defense. Since 2012, Baku has purchased at least $1.6 billion worth of UAVs, radars and air defense missiles from state-owned Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI) and is talking about buying or leasing IAI-produced spy satellites. From state-owned Rafael, the Azerbaijani military has acquired Spike anti-tank missiles and targeting systems. Elbit Systems, Israel’s largest non-state-owned defense firm, has been operating a local subsidiary, Elbit Systems of Azerbaijan, since 2009. Prominent deals in recent years include the Cardom self-propelled recoiling mortar and advanced upgrades to the Russian-made T-72 tanks. |
