When the technology comes from the US and development is funded by the US taxpayer, we don't consider it legitimate to sell to a potential enemy.
Phalcon
Harpy
Lavi

For years, the US government has expressed concerns over Israel illegally transferring technology to China. During the Gulf War, the US gave Israel Patriot missiles as protection against Iraqi Scud missiles. In 1992, a US intelligence report revealed that soon after the end of the Gulf War, Israel had sold Patriot anti-missile data to China. Israel denied the intelligence report.
