Eurofighter Typhoon fighters to arrive in Turkey in days

Turkish Defense Minister Yasar Guler said Turkish officers were set out to inspect two Eurofighter destroyers that would arrive in Ankara this week.

“Talks on the supply of the Eurofighters continue in a positive manner. Two Eurofighters flying from the United Kingdom to Qatar to attend a military drill will land in Ankara on December 18, and we will have the chance to see these warfighters,” Guler said.

He also updated on Türkiye’s continued negotiations for the supply of F-16s and F-35 jetfighters from the U.S.

“We will raise the removal of CAATSA sanctions, which is in violation of allied spirit, with the new government that will take office in the U.S.,” Güler said.

On a question, the minister reiterated that Türkiye’s position over the deployment of these systems has not changed.
