UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer arrived in Ankara today to discuss the latest status of negotiations regarding the purchase of Eurofighter Typhoon fighter jets between Turkey and the UK with President Erdoğan.
WELCOMED AT MÜRTED AIRFIELD COMMAND
Minister of National Defense Yaşar Güler welcomed Starmer, who made an official visit to Ankara at the invitation of President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, at the Mürted Airfield Command.
Accompanying Starmer were UK Defense Minister John Healey and Chief of the Royal Air Force General Harv Smyth.
NOTABLE STEP FROM THE UK
While the main agenda of the visit is expected to be the Eurofighter Typhoon fighter jets that Turkey wants to purchase, it has been claimed that a notable step was taken by the UK before the meeting.
SENT 2 EUROFIGHTER JETS
According to a report by Middle East Eye (MEE) based on reliable sources, it was claimed that to demonstrate the seriousness of the upcoming meeting, Starmer sent 2 Eurofighter jets to Turkey before his arrival.
AGREEMENT FOR 40 AIRCRAFT EXPECTED
During the Erdoğan-Starmer summit, the option of providing the aircraft currently used by the UK to accelerate the delivery of the jets is being considered.
Accordingly, 20 Eurofighter fighter jets used by the Royal Air Force (RAF) will be delivered to Turkey. The remaining 20 aircraft will be adapted and delivered later according to Turkey's priorities.
