Green light for Eurofighter from Germany


Germany had previously obstructed the acquisition of Eurofighter Typhoon fighter jets for the Turkish Air Force, has now allowed the commencement of technical discussions. A technical delegation from the UK, Italy, Spain, and Germany has arrived in Turkiye. The talks are expected to last for three weeks.




The obstacle posed by Germany regarding Turkey's request to procure 24 Eurofighter Typhoon fighter jets, produced in consortium with four European countries, is being removed. It has been learned that the German government has approved the start of technical discussions regarding the sale of Eurofighter Typhoon.

24 FIGHTER JETS TO BE ACQUIRED IN THE FIRST PHASE​

According to information reported by NTV, if Germany gives final approval for the sale after the technical discussions, Turkiye will acquire 24 Eurofighter fighter jets as soon as possible in the first phase. In later stages of the process, this number will be completed to 40.

With the procurement of Eurofighter fighter jets, the Turkish Air Force will have aircraft equipped with AESA radar for the first time. Experts emphasize that Eurofighter will be the most suitable solution during the interim period until the entry of the national fighter jet KAAN and the F-16 Block 70 fighter jets into the inventory.

The Typhoon coupled with the ‘Meteor’ is truly a deadly combination on its own. Great aircraft.

Good news for Turkey. Will offset Greek rafales until Kaan arrives.

The approval for technical talks has been approved only it seems. Not a full sale yet.

Why has the German position now changed?

European economies are a complete mess and so is Germany's.

It could just be due to economics as this will sustain thousands of well paid jobs across the continent.

J-10C is a better option IMO considering Turkey's closest ally Azerbaijan got JF-17.

AIRBUS set out a framework for lobbying activities to sell Eurofighter to Turkiye
because Turkish Airlines buys 575 new Planes for $100 billion from AIRBUS or BOEING


Airbus Turkiye President Simon Ward told a reporter ... 04.10.2024
“Airbus is giving great support to these efforts in order to overcome political problems. We may see the Eurofighter in Turkiye soon.

 

[Irfan Usmani 1977]

J-10C is a better option IMO considering Turkey's closest ally Azerbaijan got JF-17.

J10C is nowhere near the capability of Eurofighter Typhoon, J10C is light-medium weight jet whereas Eurofighter Typhoon sit in the category of medium-heavy class

Is there an intention to integrate Turkish weapons on these?

Türkiye wants this capability and this will be discussed in technical talks.

Very good buy, the Typhoon is a beast and Turkish pilots are skilled.
