(MENAFN) Kuwait signed a memorandum of understanding to buy 28 Eurofighter jets, the consortium that makes the aircraft confirmed, making it the eighth country to purchase the combat planes.
Italian industry sources had told Reuters earlier that the Gulf state had agreed to buy Eurofighter jets in a deal worth up to USD9 billion.
"We consider this agreement as a strong market signal for additional orders in the next few years," Eurofighter spokesman said, adding that Indonesia and Saudi were among other interested customers.
