ISTANBUL: Türkiye reached deals with NATO allies Britain and Germany on Wednesday (Jul 23) that pave the way to acquiring dozens of Eurofighter Typhoon jets, which Ankara has sought to bolster defences in an increasingly volatile region. Britain signed a preliminary deal allowing Ankara to operate the jets while Germany approved delivery of 40 of them to Türkiye, which has relied on both foreign purchases and its own defence industry projects, including domestic jets, to ramp up deterrence.
