Turkey Begins Negotiations for Eurofighter Purchase from Germany

Turkey has begun negotiations with Germany for the purchase of Eurofighter Typhoon jets, following the lifting of Germany’s objections to the sale of 40 aircraft. A technical delegation from the Eurofighter consortium, including experts from the UK, Italy, Spain, and Germany, is in Turkey for talks expected to last about three weeks. If successful, Turkey plans to acquire 24 jets initially, with the potential to increase the order to 40. German Chancellor Olaf Scholz is scheduled to visit Turkey on October 19 to meet with President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.
