British defence giant BAE Systems has signed a $3bn (£1.9bn) deal with Saudi Arabia to supply Hawk trainer jets, the BBC has confirmed.
Formal confirmation and details are expected later on Wednesday.
A Saudi defence ministry official, quoted by the country's news agency SPA, said the deal would help train "the Saudi air force to be able to use the fighter jets... efficiently".
It also includes simulators, ground and training equipment and spares.
