U.S. to announce sale of fighter jets to Saudi Arabia (Reuters)
 

WASHINGTON (Reuters) &ndash; The Obama administration is set to announce on Thursday <a href="http://www.louisvuittonukhandbagsuk.com"><strong>Louis Vuitton Handbags</strong></a> a $29.4 billion sale of new F-15 fighter jets and related equipment to Saudi Arabia, according to an industry participant familiar with the matter. The deal is the latest in a major <a href="http://www.louisvuittonoutletsaleuk.co.uk"><strong>Louis Vuitton UK</strong></a> military buildup of U.S. friends and allies amid mounting tension with Iran. It covers 84 new Boeing F-15 fighters, with advanced radar equipment and digital electronic warfare systems, plus upgrades of 70 older F-15s, the person said. The administration cleared with Congress more than a year ago the potential sale of more than $60 billion of military hardware to Saudi Arabia over 10 to 15 years, including the F-15s, helicopters and related equipment and services.
