The United Arab Emirates will accept a delivery of the latest US-built F-16 jet fighters before the end of 2004, the air force commander announced in a statement published Tuesday.
"The UAE will start receiving the first batch of the 80 fighters gradually before the end of this year," Major General Khaled Mubarak al-Bu Ainan said.
The United Arab Emirates signed a contract worth a total 6.4 billion dollars for 80 of the F-16 Falcon fighters built by Lockheed Martin Corp in March 2000 for delivery from the end of 2004 through 2007.
