'The $9 billion is aimed at purchasing the KC-46As, a new heavy helicopter to replace the Israeli air force CH-53, the purchase of V-22s, all this in addition to more F-35s and F-15 EXs. The estimated price of the KC-46As will be $1 billion."

1 billion is basically giving 1/3rd or so back the aid from the Camp David accord. It all(?) comes back to defense contractors.

Their tankers are c-130's. They need the extra range to take out Iran.
