UK-Turkey Agreement on Eurofighter and Job Creation
October 29, 2025
British Prime Minister Keir Starmer visited Ankara and signed an agreement for the supply of 20 Eurofighter Typhoon jets to Turkey. The agreement is expected to create 20,000 jobs in the UK and strengthen strategic ties between the two countries. Both the British and German governments are facing criticism for their stance on human rights in Turkey while aiming for cooperation in defense. The deal is part of Turkey's strategy to modernize its Air Force. The upcoming visit of the German Chancellor is expected to focus on similar issues.
