Country Who Buys Weapons Exclusively From the US Found To Use Weapons Made in the US.
Fascinating.
Israel makes most of its own weapons (the Merkava can be made completely with domestic parts, unlike other countries’ MBTs which rely on some foreign parts). Their policy is basically “we shouldn’t completely rely on other countries because they might abandon us” (wonder why anyone would do that, hmm). That being said, I’m pretty sure they don’t actually manufacture their own ammunition so I don’t know if they produce their own bombs…
