cough israel cough... and even if it's not given... the super reduced prices, and the countless blueprints to US military tech, is clear that the United States is willing to support those that it deems worthy. Let's not even mention the CIA who we have zero insight on their actions. The CIA is know for giving free arms... note: Afghanistan, Cuba, Nicaragua etc.
