Britain has finalized an £8 billion agreement to sell 20 Eurofighter Typhoon jets to Turkey, marking the largest fighter jet deal for the country in nearly two decades. The deal, signed by Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer during a visit to Ankara, is expected to strengthen defence ties between the two nations and support thousands of jobs in the United Kingdom. Turkey, which has the second largest military in the alliance, is seeking to bolster its air defences amid regional tensions and shifting security dynamics in Europe. The Eurofighter Typhoons are produced through a partnership involving the United Kingdom, Germany, Spain, and Italy, with a significant portion of manufacturing taking place in the United Kingdom.
