Kuwait is set to continue operating its ‘classic' Boeing F/A-18C/D Hornet combat aircraft alongside its recently received F/A-18E/F Super Hornets and Eurofighter Typhoons, with a USD1.8 billion support agreement with the US government approved on 13 June.

As noted by the US Defense Security Cooperation Agency (DSCA), the US Department of State has approved the continuation of contractor engineering technical services and contractor maintenance services of the Kuwait Air Force's (KAF's) Hornet and Super Hornet fleets. Earlier, it had been supposed that the 33 remaining Hornets that the KAF procured in the mid-1990s would be replaced in relatively short order by 28 Super Hornets, which were all delivered in late 2021, as well as by 28 Typhoons, which are now being delivered.
