France and Kuwait strike $2.8billion military deals

‘Kuwait has signed a number of major military deals with France, amid concerns in the Arab kingdom about potential terrorist attacks by the Daesh Takfiri militants.

According to the French government, the deals, which include fixed and provisional agreements worth USD 2.8 billion (about 2.5 billion euros), were signed on Wednesday in the capital, Paris, by a slew of ministers.

The deals are led by the purchase of 24 Airbus-built Caracal helicopters for which Kuwait City is set to pay one billion euros with an option for a further six.

The Caracal is equipped with radar missile protection as well as air-to-ground and air-to-sea missiles among its weaponry. The chopper is deployed on combat rescue missions and long-distance troop transport.’
