The Netherlands is to sell 18 F16 fighter aircraft to Chile. A Chilean minister announced the deal last month, but it has only now been confirmed by Deputy Defence Minister Jack de Vries in a letter to the lower house of parliament.
According to news agency ANP, the agreed price for the surplus F16s is around 100 million euros, but the defence ministry has not specified a sum. The deal includes training for 75 Chilean technicians.
The announcement of the sale coincides with a visit to the Netherlands by Chilean President Michelle Bachelet, who has a trade delegation travelling in her wake.
