Turkey has signed a preliminary agreement with the United Kingdom and received approval from Germany to purchase up to 40 Eurofighter Typhoon fighter jets, marking a major upgrade for the Turkish Air Force.
The deal, valued at several billion dollars, follows Germany dropping its previous veto and includes advanced weaponry such as Meteor air-to-air missiles. This move comes after Turkey's exclusion from the US-led F-35 program and is seen as a significant step in modernizing its military capabilities. The agreement has drawn concern from Israel and some European officials, but is welcomed by defense industry leaders.
The deal also signals closer defense and trade ties between Turkey and the UK.
