Germany has authorized the sale of 40 Eurofighter Typhoon jets to Turkey, according to information published by Bloomberg.
The decision was recently made by the country’s Federal Security Council, which had been blocking similar deals in previous years, mainly due to concerns over democratic backsliding in the Turkish government.
The jets will be assembled in the United Kingdom, with parts supplied by German manufacturers, demonstrating collaboration between the two countries in producing the model. The sale marks a significant shift in Germany’s stance regarding military exports to Ankara.
Turkey intends to incorporate the most modern version of the Eurofighter, the Tranche 4, into its fleet, which currently mostly consists of American F-16 fighters. This new variant includes important upgrades such as the AESA CAPTOR-E radar, long-range Meteor missiles, and updated weapons and avionics systems.
