The State Department has approved Israel’s request to procure 18 CH-53K heavy-lift helicopters, manufactured by Lockheed Martin‘s (NYSE: LMT) Sikorsky subsidiary, through a potential $3.4 billion foreign military sales transaction with the U.S. government.

The possible FMS deal will include T408-GE-400 engines from General Electric (NYSE: GD), embedded positioning and inertial navigation systems, communications equipment, training and logistics support services, the Defense Security Cooperation Agency said Friday.
