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 a long-standing export veto.
The deal, worth billions, marks a significant upgrade for the Turkish Air Force and strengthens defense ties between Turkey, the UK, and Germany. The agreement follows months of negotiations and signals a shift in European arms export policy toward Ankara. The move has drawn criticism from some, including Israeli opposition figures, who argue it could alter the regional balance of power.
The deal is expected to boost European defense manufacturers and further Turkey's ambitions to modernize its military.
