Turkey secured a $5.6 billion deal with the UK and Germany to purchase 40 Eurofighter Typhoon jets, bolstering its air force and regional influence. This follows years of negotiations, with Germany initially hesitant due to Turkey's foreign policy. The deal, partly spurred by the recent Israel-Hamas war, strengthens NATO cooperation but raises concerns in Israel, which fears Turkey's growing military power. Turkey is also pursuing its own fifth-generation fighter jet and seeking to reacquire F-35s from the US.
