A private US manufacturer of military tactical vehicles. Its Flyer 72 vehicles, developed in partnership with General Dynamics, have been tested and purchased by Israel.
Flyer Defense LLC is a private Los Angeles–based manufacturer of military tactical vehicles.
In October 2023, the company provided Israel with units of its Flyer 72 patrol vehicle, which it developed in partnership with General Dynamics. The vehicle uses a General Motors engine.
Israel reportedly tested these vehicles because it wanted to purchase tactical utility vehicles using U.S. taxpayers' money instead of relying solely on its other supplier of similar vehicles, Israeli company Israel Aerospace Industries. In January, Israel reportedly ordered 60 additional Flyer 72 tactical vehicles, funded by U.S. taxpayers.
