Türkiye Eurofighter Deal
Ankara has opted for the Eurofighter Typhoon, granting a temporary reprieve to the UK's aerospace sector.
Earlier this year, the UK chose to order US-origin F-35 stealth fighters instead of investing in its own aerospace sector.
UK's Aerospace Sector Reprieve
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 the company 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.
