Türkiye closes in on Qatari Eurofighter buy

Türkiye says it is waiting for Qatar to provide a proposed sales contract and pilot-training arrangements for the transfer of Eurofighter Typhoon combat aircraft. Turkish officials described the purchase as part of a wider effort connected with the United Kingdom and other Typhoon partners, while negotiations over specific secondhand aircraft continue. The jets would complement Türkiye's F-16 fleet and provide another multirole fighter type as the country pursues longer-term combat-aircraft modernization. The reported transaction is not yet a completed sale, and public statements have not finalized delivery dates or the number of Qatari aircraft.
