Türkiye Eurofighter Deal Saves UK Typhoon Factory
Ankara has chosen the Eurofighter Typhoon, granting a temporary reprieve to the UK's aerospace sector.
Earlier this year, the UK opted for US-origin F-35 stealth fighters instead of investing in its own aerospace sector.
The UK's Eurofighter production line at BAE Systems' Warton site has been granted a stay of execution following an order by Türkiye for 20 Typhoon fighters.
The £5.4bn ($7.2bn) deal will see BAE Systems manufacture major airframe components and conduct final assembly of the aircraft and lead weapons integration at its sites in Lancashire.
BAE Systems is the UK lead on the Eurofighter programme with a 37% stake.
Author's summary: Türkiye's Eurofighter deal saves UK Typhoon factory temporarily.
