(IsraelNN.com) Israel has sealed a military sales deal with the Czech Republic, it was announced Tuesday.

Czech Defense Minister Martin Bartak told the CTK news agency the nation's military will purchase pilotless reconnaissance planes and anti-terrorism computer technologies from the Jewish State.

The announcement of the deal, worth CZK 20 million ($1.14 million) came following talks on Tuesday with Defense Minister Ehud Barak. At the beginning of September, the two ministers signed a memorandum of understanding aimed at strengthening cooperation between the Czech and Israeli defense forces.
