The Pentagon has said it had notified the US Congress of a planned sale of 209 MIM-104E Patriot Guidance Enhanced Missiles-T to Kuwait, which is looking to bolster its defences against the threat from Iran. The US Defense Security Cooperation Agency said in a statement on its web site about the deal, valued at 900 million dollars. The statement said Kuwait needs these missiles to meet current and future threats of enemy air-to-ground weapons.
