DEFENSE
Türkiye is set to receive its first Eurofighter Typhoons from Qatar by late February 2026, following the procurement of 12 second-hand jets to enhance its air combat capabilities. The agreement was finalized after trilateral talks among defense officials from Türkiye, Qatar, and the UK, with Turkish pilots already training on the aircraft. This acquisition is part of a broader £8 billion deal for a total of 44 Typhoons, addressing Türkiye's defense needs after its exclusion from the F-35 program.
