Turkey is set to acquire up to 40 Eurofighter Typhoon fighter jets after signing a preliminary agreement with the United Kingdom and receiving approval from Germany, ending years of stalled negotiations.
The multibillion-dollar deal marks a significant upgrade for the Turkish Air Force and signals a warming of diplomatic and defense relations between Turkey, the UK, and Germany. The agreement was formalized at the International Defence Industry Fair in Istanbul, with both Turkish and British defense ministers in attendance. The move comes after Germany dropped its longstanding veto, and follows high-level discussions between Turkish President Erdogan and UK Prime Minister Starmer.
The deal is seen as a strategic boost for Turkey's military capabilities and a notable export win for the Eurofighter consortium.
