British Prime Minister Keir Starmer said London has signed an agreement to sell Eurofighter jets to NATO member Turkey in a 10-year deal worth nearly $11 billion after talks on Monday, October 27, with President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.
"This is a really significant deal, because it's £8 billion worth of orders (...) these are jobs that will last for 10 years, making the [Eurofighter] Typhoons, so really big for our country," Starmer said.
Britain's Defense Ministry described the order, which would involve 20 Eurofighters, as the "biggest fighter jet deal in a generation," saying it would strengthen Turkey's combat capabilities and bolster "NATO's strength in a key region."
