Saudi Arabia Kingdom to Take Delivery of Eurofighters Next Year - by by Raid Qusti

Saudi Arabia will receive 72 Eurofighter Typhoon aircraft next year, said Deputy Minister of Defense and Aviation for Military Affairs Prince Khaled ibn Sultan. The Eurofighter Typhoon is a twin-engine multipurpose canard-delta strike fighter aircraft. The aircraft is used by the German Luftwaffe, the Italian Air Force, the Spanish Air Force and the UK’s Royal Air Force. It is built in Britain, Germany, Italy and Spain by a consortium involving BAE (BAE Systems), EADS (The European Aeronautic Defence and Space Company) and Finmeccanica. The euro 5.93 billion ($8.86 billion) agreement was signed by the government of Saudi Arabia and Britain on Sept. 11 last year.
