Nov 8 (Reuters) - Germany is set to approve defence equipment purchases worth more than $3.47 billion, including 20 light combat helicopters from Airbus SE AIR.PA, Bloomberg News reported on Saturday, citing a government document.

The report said lawmakers were expected to approve a major defence spending package during a closed-door meeting on Wednesday, which also includes a roughly 1 billion euro deal with Hensoldt AG HAGG.DE and Theon International THEON.AS for 100,000 night vision devices.

Reuters could not immediately verify the report.
