The Eurofighter consortium, which includes Lancashire defence giant BAE Systems, has missed out on a multi-billion-pound deal to sell the fighter jets to Libya, according to reports.

A Paris-based newspaper quoted a government source in Libya saying it has chosen to order 13-18 Rafale jets from French manufacturer Dassault.

Libya is said to have chosen the Rafale to replace its ageing MiG fighters ahead of competing offers from China and Russia as well as Eurofighter.
