Kuwait set to buy 28 Eurofighters

The Eurofighter Consortium today welcomes the State of Kuwait as a new member of the Eurofighter community.This new international success follows an order from the Sultanate of Oman for 12 aircraft in December 2012 and it is a further evidence of growing interest in the Eurofighter Typhoon across the globe and in the Gulf Region in particular with the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the Sultanate of Oman  who have already ordered this combat aircraft.

On behalf of the  consortium and its Eurofighter Partner Companies (EPC) the CEO of Eurofighter, Alberto Gutierrez, said: “This new agreement  is the confirmation of the superiority of the Eurofighter over its competitors and will provide a great  opportunity for further Eurofighter orders. We are delighted to welcome Kuwait as the newest member of our Eurofighter Typhoon family. The Eurofighter is already proven and trusted by six nations to perform in all operational environments”.

With Kuwait, the Eurofighter Typhoon confirms its role as Europe’s largest military collaborative programme with a total of 599 aircraft committed. It provides leading-edge technologies and strengthens Europe’s defence industry in international competition. More than 100,000 jobs in 400 supplier companies are involved in this four-nation programme and deliver significant contributions.

Since entry into service of the first Eurofighter Typhoon at the end of 2003, 444 aircraft have been delivered to six nations: Germany, the United Kingdom, Italy, Spain, Austria and Saudi Arabia. In December 2012, Oman became the seventh customer and ordered a total of twelve aircraft. Eurofighter Typhoon is currently in service at 22 operational units and up to now, the whole fleet has completed more than 300,000 flying hours worldwide.

These will be in addition to the Lockheed L-100 Hercules currently existing with the Kuwait Air Force

The C-17, photographed by Californian photographer, Michael Carter(www.aeropacific.blogspot.com), is yet to make its first flight, but should be delivered in the coming weeks.

Kuwait is modernizing its air arm. As well as C-17s, it is also investing in C-130J and KC-130J Hercules and is also looking at purchasing a new fighter aircraft to replace its McDonnell Douglas F/A-18C/D Hornets.
