{France said on Wednesday that Kuwait wants to buy 24 Airbus-built Caracal military helicopters and that the contract would be signed soon.}
The contract – the latest to be agreed between Paris and a Gulf Arab state, comes weeks after Dassault finalised a deal to sell 24 Rafale fighter jets to Qatar.
“In the framework of the defence partnership between France and Kuwait, the Emir has expressed the wish … to equip his country’s air force with 24 Caracal type helicopters. The contract will be signed soon,” President Francois Hollande’s office said after a telephone conversation between Hollande and Emir Sheikh Sabah al Ahmad al Jaber al Sabah.
