The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what assessment has he made of the effect of the order of 20 Eurofighter Typhoons on the timeline of the delivery of the Phase 4 Enhancement Programme for the UK Typhoon fleet.

Answered by Luke Pollard

The order of 20 Eurofighter Typhoons for Türkiye aligns with long term goals of supplying a NATO member with advanced military equipment.

A sale of this significance will bring benefits to UK Industry, the Eurofighter Partner Nations and NATO.

It has been assessed that there will be no impact on the delivery of the Phase 4 Enhancement Programme for the UK Typhoon fleet.
