Eurofighter Eyes Portugal to Replace F-16s with Typhoons
Following success in Turkey, Eurofighter is looking to Portugal to replace its F-16s with Typhoons.
Portugal's decision not to buy American F-35 jets, due to President Trump's policies on defense spending, has led Eurofighter to explore opportunities for collaboration.
- Airbus, representing the Eurofighter Consortium, has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Portuguese Aerospace and Defence Industries (AED Cluster Portugal).
- The MoU aims to replace Portugal's F-16A/B jets with Eurofighter Typhoon fighters.
“At a time when European sovereignty and industrial autonomy are at the heart of our strategy, Airbus strongly believes that the Eurofighter is the best option for this renewal.” - Jose Luis de Miguel, President of Airbus Defence and Space Europe
Airbus believes the Eurofighter Typhoon is a "truly European" solution to replace Portugal's aging F-16 fleet.
