Kuwait confirms Eurofighter EF-2000 contract

Kuwait has signed a contract with Finmeccanica to acquire 28 EF-2000 for an estimated 7-8 billion euros. The Typhoon had been selected a few months ago but the contract had not been formally signed.

This new contract is a boost for the Eurofighter consortium, as the extra aircraft will lead to more work and financing to integrate new equipment.

Kuwait is also keen on acquiring another 28 F-18E/F, but the contract has not been signed yet. The Air Force currently operates 27 F/A-18C.
