Turkey has reached a preliminary agreement with the United Kingdom and 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 the signing of a memorandum of understanding between Turkey and the UK. 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 also includes advanced weaponry such as Meteor air-to-air missiles.
The deal has drawn international attention, with some Israeli officials expressing concern over the potential shift in regional air power.
