The MoU is the first step towards Türkiye’s potential purchase of the Eurofighter Typhoon jet
Jorge Tamarit-Degenhardt, Chief Executive Officer of Eurofighter Jagdflugzeug GmbH, has welcomed the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) signing between the Government of the Republic of Türkiye and the Government of the United Kingdom.
Yaşar Güler, Turkish Minister of National Defence, and John Healey, UK Secretary of State for Defence, signed the MoU at the IDEF defence trade event in Istanbul on July 23. The MoU is the first step towards Türkiye’s potential purchase of the Eurofighter Typhoon jet.
“It’s clear that we are living a critical moment for security across Europe and beyond, and, without doubt, the Typhoon jet is the major asset in keeping our skies safe,” Tamarit-Degenhardt said. “Today’s MoU announcement is positive news for all parties involved and we look forward to supporting further discussions between Governments of Türkiye and the UK during the coming months. It’s clear that we are living a critical moment for security across Europe and beyond, and, without doubt, the Typhoon jet is the major asset in keeping our skies safe. The combined benefits of the Eurofighter Typhoon jet – and the depth of the programme – ensure our customers have the complete freedom of action and the ability to deliver essential air power capabilities.”
