Alenia Aeronautica has confirmed that Turkey is interested in purchasing 40/80 Eurofighter Typhoon. It has also stated that it is looking for ways of making Turkish Aerospace Industries (TAI) a full partner in the Eurofighter program.
It looks like Turkey is really serious about expanding its combat aircraft fleet.....116 F-35 (on order) + 240 F-16 CCIP + 40 (+80 option) Eurofighter Typhoon + 46 F-4E Terminator 2020...this is a very big combat fleet!

Many European and non-European countries have formally expressed interest for this aircraft. With these countries information exchange or real trade have already begun. Up till now the following countries have showed interest for the Eurofighter Typhoon: Turkey (40/80 aircrafts), Greece (60 aircrafts), Romania (48 aircrafts), Japan (50 aircrafts), Switzerland (33 aircrafts), Bulgaria (12 aircrafts), India (126 aircrafts).
This means an over-350 aircraft’s potential business in the amount of more than € 35 billions relating to the aircraft’s supply and to the relevant logistic support.
