(IsraelNN.com) Saudi Arabia has bought 72 Typhoon fighter jets from Great Britain at a cost of 4.43 billion pounds sterling.
A press release from Saudi news agency Safa said that "a contract has been signed for purchasing the planes from Britain, at a price identical to that paid by the British Army."
