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, formalized at the International Defence Industry Fair in Istanbul, signals a significant upgrade for the Turkish Air Force and a shift in regional military dynamics. The agreement follows Germany dropping its long-standing veto, with both British and German leaders expressing positive stances on the sale. The move is seen as part of a broader Turkish-Western rapprochement and has drawn concern from some regional actors, notably Israel.
The deal also opens the door for further military-industrial cooperation between Turkey and its NATO allies.
