The agency said Defense Minister Sheik Ahmad Hamoud al-Sabah made the announcement at the end of the joint military exercise with the U.S. forces in the Kuwaiti desert.
He gave no details of the types of weapons the mainly U.S.-supplied armed forces would get from Moscow but said they would come within the context of a security pact between the two countries.
He was quoted as saying the Russian weapons were needed to meet the needs of the armed forces.
Earlier on Tuesday, B-52 bombers flying non-stop around the world pulverized the Kuwaiti desert to remind an unrepentant Baghdad of the global reach of U.S. military power.
Iraq invaded Kuwait on Aug. 2, 1990, and annexed its former ally after months of disputes over financial aid and ownership of border oil fields. A U.S.-led alliance advancing from bases in Saudi Arabia expelled Iraqi troops in late February, 1991.
A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
