Italy’s presence in the Persian Gulf and its military cooperation with Kuwait are growing stronger. Leonardo has signed a contract with Abu Dhabi Ship Building (ADSB), a subsidiary of the EDGE Group, to supply naval combat systems for a new generation of patrol vessels ordered from the shipbuilder by Kuwait.
