Recently, the Federal Security Council of Germany has agreed to sell 40 Eurofighter Typhoon aircraft to Turkey, but with the condition that Turkey guarantees it will not use these aircraft to “attack” any NATO member, specifically referring to Greece.
After Germany gave the green light, the United Kingdom and Turkey immediately signed a sales agreement for the Eurofighter Typhoon on July 23. Turkey is in the process of developing its indigenous next-generation fighter jet called “Khan,” so the Eurofighter Typhoon is likely to replace the aging F-4 aircraft.
Up until now, Turkey’s fighter jets have all been of American origin. However, due to Turkey’s purchase of the Russian S-400 air defense system which led to deteriorating relations with the United States, Turkey’s plans to upgrade its F-16s and purchase F-35s were stalled. The acquisition of the Eurofighter Typhoon marks a significant breakthrough for Turkey.
The Eurofighter Typhoon, also known as the Eurofighter, previously designated as the EF-2000, was jointly developed by the European aircraft company. This consortium is made up of aerospace companies from various European countries including the UK, Germany, Italy, and Spain, such as BAE Systems, Airbus, and Leonardo. Initially, France and Sweden also participated in the European fighter jet project, but due to diverging research directions, both countries withdrew from the program. France developed its own Rafale fighter jet, while Sweden developed the JAS-39 Gripen fighter.
