ROME, Sept 11 (Reuters) - Kuwait signed a memorandum of understanding on Friday to buy Eurofighter jets in a deal worth up to 8 billion euros ($9 billion), Italian sources said.
The Eurofighter aircraft are produced by Italy's Finmeccanica (Other OTC:
-
) , BAE Systems (LSE:
-
) and Airbus . The sources said the deal with Kuwait would be finalised "in a few weeks".
The news, first reported on Italian daily Corriere della Sera's web site, drove up Finmeccanica's shares by more than 4 percent. The company, which has a 36 percent share of Eurofighter, could not be immediately reached for comment.
Kuwait, and other Gulf Arab and Middle Eastern countries are looking to acquire new high-tech military equipment to protect themselves from neighbouring Iran and internal threats after the Arab Spring uprising.
