Saudi Arabia said on Monday it had signed an agreement with the British
government to buy 72 Eurofighter Typhoon jets for nearly $9 billion.
"A contract was signed between the two governments to buy the plane on
Tuesday, Shaaban 29 (September 11) at a cost of 4,430 million pounds
sterling," a statement on official news agency SPA said, attributed to
a Defense Ministry official.
It said the cost per jet was the same as its sale price to British air
forces.
Last year it was reported that Saudi Arabia might cancel the deal
because of a U.K. fraud investigation into suspicions of graft in
defense deals dating to the 1980s. But the deal went ahead after the
investigations were closed.
