BAE Systems confirms lack of progress in Eurofighter talks with Saudi
BAE Systems PLC has confirmed reports that talks between London and Riyadh for 72 Eurofighter Typhoons have stalled. The Independent also reported that the Saudis may switch to buying between 24 and 36 Rafales in the next 24 to 48 hours.

But French military officials and analysts downplayed the incident, saying that it is unlikely for Saudi Arabia to cancel the deal.
