    (i) Purchaser: Government of Israel
    (ii) Sec. 36(b)(1), AECA Transmittal No.: 12-69
    Date: December 14, 2012
    Implementing Agency: Air Force
    Funding Source: Foreign Military Financing
    (iii) Description: On December 14, 2012, Congress was notified by 
congressional certification transmittal number 12-69 of the possible 
sale, under Section 36(b)(l) of the Arms Export Control Act, of 6,900

31) for BLU-109 warheads and 1,725 KMU-572 (GBU-38) for MK-82

parts, support equipment, personnel training and training equipment, 
publications and technical documentation, United States (U.S.) 
Government and contractor engineering and technical support, and other 
related elements of program support. The estimated total cost was $647 
million. Major Defense Equipment (MDE) constituted $466 million of this 
total.
    On November 29, 2017, Congress was notified by congressional 
certification transmittal number 0S-17 of the supplemented description 
of JDAM tail kit component KMU-556 (GBU-31) for MK-84 warheads, KMU-557 
(GBU-31) for BLU-109 warheads and KMU-572 (GBU-38) for MK-82 warheads 
as either C/B or E/B variants (MDE items). The supplementation of this 
information did not result in a change to the estimated MDE cost of 
$466 million. The estimated total case value remained at $647 million.
    This transmittal notifies an increase in MDE value by $624 million 
and non-MDE value by $269 million, due to recent cost increases. There 
are no additional MDE or non-MDE items being reported with this 
notification. The estimated total case value will increase by $893 
million to $1.54 billion. MDE will constitute $1.09 billion of this 
total.
    (iv) Significance: Recent cost increases have brought about the 
need to add value to the original notification. The proposed value 
increase will improve Israel's capability to meet current and future 
threats.
    (v) Justification: This proposed sale will support the foreign 
policy goals and national security of the U.S. by improving the 
security of a strategic regional partner that is a force for political 
and economic stability in the Middle East.
    (vi) Sensitivity of Technology:
    The Sensitivity of Technology Statement contained in the original 
notification applies to items reported here.
    The highest level of classification of defense articles, 
components, and services included in this potential sale is SECRET.
    (vii) Date Report Delivered to Congress: February 28, 2025
