Qatar turned to Paris with a request to prolong the option to purchase 12 fighters Dassault Rafale, which has recently expired, reports bmpd with reference to the newspaper La Tribune.
According to the newspaper, the company Dassault Aviation went to meet the customer and offered a deal for 6,3 billion euros (including weapons manufactured by MBDA and Safran) under a contract signed in May 2015, when Doha purchased the 24 French fighter.
As the newspaper writes, referring to its sources, the Emir of Qatar, Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al-Thani, intends to announce this deal during the visit of French President Emmanuel Macron, scheduled for December 7.
"The visit of Macron to Qatar will also be the reason for signing a contract in the interests of Nexter Systems for the sale of VBCI wheeled armored personnel carriers that had previously attracted Qatar," the newspaper writes.
Sources of the publication note that “this is not excluded,” since the French concern took part in a tender for the purchase of 300 wheeled armored personnel carriers in the amount of 2 billion euros to equip Qatari ground forces.
