Turkish pilots have begun flight training as part of the country's procurement of Eurofighter Typhoon fighter jets, according to the National Defense Ministry.
In a post on Turkish social media platform NSosyal, the ministry said Wednesday that the training process began in August under the agreement signed with the United Kingdom.
It said Turkish Air Force pilots successfully completed their terminology training and have begun flight training.
The agreement signed in late October last year covers 20 Eurofighter jets that Türkiye will buy from the U.K. The deal is worth about 8 billion pounds ($10.8 billion).
This March, the countries signed a technical and logistical agreement for the maintenance and operation of the warplanes.
