By Defence Industry Europe

The Israel Ministry of Defence (IMOD) has signed a contract worth approximately $150 million (NIS 500 million) with American manufacturer AM General LLC to supply hundreds of High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicles (HMMWVs) to the IDF Ground Forces. The agreement was approved by IMOD Director General, Maj. Gen. (Res.) Amir Baram, and signed by the ministry’s procurement delegation in the United States.

 

The deal includes not only the vehicles themselves but also a package of spare parts to support their ongoing maintenance. According to the ministry, the first dozens of HMMWVs are scheduled for delivery later in 2025.

Designed for versatile battlefield use, the HMMWVs will support a range of operational tasks including troop transport, casualty evacuation, logistical resupply, fire support, communications, and special operations. The vehicles are known for their high cross-country mobility, ease of maintenance, and extended operational lifespan.

 

 

The specific configuration ordered by Israel allows for the transport of over ten soldiers, multiple casualty evacuations, and various fire support capabilities. These features are expected to enhance the IDF’s tactical flexibility across a range of mission scenarios.
