Britain delivers first Eurofighter jets to Saudi

Saudi Arabia has taken delivery of two Eurofighter Typhoon combat jets, the Ministry of Defence (MoD) said on Friday, the first of a massive order.

The two fighters were the first out of an order for an eventual 72 that has been valued at up to 25 billion euro's (32.9 billion dollars), including armaments and long-term servicing. Saudi Arabia is the first country outside Europe to have the Typhoon, a multi-role aircraft produced by a BAE Systems-led consortium of European firms.
