Erdogan Says Eurofighter Sale to Turkey Gaining Support from Allies
Turkish President Recep Erdogan noted that Germany and the United Kingdom are showing a positive attitude toward the possible sale of Eurofighter jets to Ankara.
The Gaze reports on this referring to Reuters.
Turkey is negotiating the purchase of Eurofighter Typhoon fighter jets produced by a consortium of Germany, the United Kingdom, Italy, and Spain.
"The British and Germans are approaching this positively. God willing, I believe we will receive our jet planes as soon as possible," said Erdogan.
"In my meetings with British Prime Minister Keir Starmer and German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, I saw they also approached the issue positively and hopefully we will take this step," he added.
As The Gaze reported earlier, Belgium and Turkey have officially joined the international drone coalition, a move that strengthens efforts to boost Ukraine’s defense through advanced unmanned aerial systems. With 20 countries now participating, the coalition demonstrates growing international commitment, having pledged around €2.75 billion in military aid to Ukraine for 2025.
