#1 Interesting they are buying Typhoons. Is that because no one else will sell them fighters?

#2 They are spreading the wealth and buying immunity from the western powers for their naughty behavior. They currently fly the Mirage 2000-5.

Fighters on order:
24 Dassault Rafale
36 F-15E

They also have 24 AH-64E Apache on order.
