Turkish Air Force only contained American Jets and planes. This was causing enormous US soft power in Turkish foreign relations. By giving her approval, Germany now has soft power on Turkish Air Force and more soft power on Turkey’s foreign diplomacy.
This sale is also encourage the “Buy European” because like it or not, Turkey is part of the European Market

Yeah great. Turkiye’s a critical ally and they’re currently stuck with F-16 as the best their air force can offer. They should be allowed to arm themselves properly. I would note too that their recent experience of being embargoed by their allies has lead to them developing quite an advanced arms industry which is producing equipment basically spanning the entire spectrum, which is capability that Europe quite sorely needs **especially** if you’re one of those that thinks we should instantly and completely cut ties with the US

Bad idea. We’re going to give those S-400 even more targeting data on the Eurofighter. Nevermind the advantages it would give Turkey over Greece.

Great news for the UK this as the production lines for these planes had come to a halt and engineers desperate for work until GCAP production starts.
The eurofighter is a good plane and I would presume having the addition of Turkey as an export market could mean that Turkey could be an export market for GCAP also in the future.
Good news all around for Germany, Italy, the UK and Turkey.
As a Greek, thank you Germany and the rest of the countries in the Eurofighter consortium for preaching values of unity and strength against your own threats but completely throwing us under the bus again when it’s lucrative to you

I’m reading the comments, and people keep saying that Turkey poses a greater threat to Greece. But honestly, those who say such things clearly know nothing about Turkish-Greek relations. They’re just talking nonsense. Turkey would never attack Greece, and Greece wouldn’t attack Turkey either.

Before complaining let me say this:
