Bahrain moves closer to Typhoon deal

Bahrain’s interest in acquiring the Eurofighter Typhoon appears to be building further, with UK defence secretary Bahrain's King at the Dubai air show to discuss the potential deal.
The King of Bahrain met UK prime minister David Cameron earlier this year to discuss a possible purchase of the Typhoon as a replacement for its air force’s Northrop F-5 fighters. The UK government and national Eurofighter partner company BAE Systems are leading a campaign to sell the type to the Gulf Cooperation Council member.
A potential opportunity to conclude a deal could come as soon as mid-January, when the Bahrain international air show will take place.
