The sale will allow Kuwait to deter and defend against land-based threats, and help protect border regions and key land-based infrastructure, the Pentagon said in a statement. Such a notification does not mean that a contract has been signed, however. General Dynamics Corp is the prime contractor for the proposed sale, according to the Pentagon.
