Turkey is set to acquire up to 40 Eurofighter Typhoon fighter jets after signing a preliminary agreement with the UK and receiving export approval from Germany.
This multibillion-dollar deal marks a significant boost for the Turkish Air Force, ending years of uncertainty over its next-generation fighter procurement. The agreement follows Germany dropping its veto on the sale, with both British and Turkish leaders highlighting the deal's importance for bilateral relations and defense cooperation. The move has drawn concern from Israel, which sees the enhanced Turkish air power as a potential regional challenge.
The deal also signals closer military-industrial ties between Turkey and its NATO allies.
