Turkey awaits price offer for Eurofighters, says defense official
Ankara expects a price offer for the Eurofighter jets as it seeks to modernize its air fleet.
ANKARA — Turkey is waiting for an offer to purchase Eurofighter jets, a high-level Turkish Defense Ministry official said Thursday.
“We expect to receive the price offer in the coming days,” the official told reporters during a press briefing, adding that Ankara had already submitted a document outlining its technical, logistical and operational needs from the sale.
In 2023 Turkey submitted its bid to purchase 40 Eurofighter Typhoon jets, manufactured by a consortium of the UK, Italy, Spain and Germany, but failed to secure Germany’s green light until last year.
Berlin reportedly gave the nod for the sale in return for a deal with Ankara for accepting irregular Turkish migrants back into the country.
