"On the other hand, the Turkish Air Force will also gain ramjet-propelled METEOR air-to-air missile capability with the Eurofighter Typhoon Aircraft. Good news is expected to come in a few days regarding the Eurofighter Typoon procurement. If the source code supply required for the integration of national missile and sensor systems (for the Tranche 3+ Block 7 version, which is also in the QEAF(Qatari) inventory) is possible as requested, we will be able to see GÖKHAN on the Eurofighter Typhoon as well..."


I don't think France would okay selling Meteor AAM to Turkey, but let's see.

So, there is a chance that, a batch of 12 EF2000 tranch 3+ fresh from the assembly line (meant for Qatar) could be diverted to Türkiye?

That have been the talk for the last week. Not clear if it will happen or sides agreed to it tho. It's getting tiresome to follow the tidbits.

I highly doubt Qatar will give up their planes and delay further procurement for years. Contrary to the propaganda, Qatar is not our ally. They buy defense products from us, they buy our defense companies, and they buy protection from the Turkish military. This is a transactional relationship, not an alliance. They are also training with the Greek Air Force, whose main job description is attacking Turkey.

“The Germans have made it clear that Berlin’s hands are tied because of domestic opposition to any arms sales to Turkey, beyond its naval needs,” he added.

“A bureaucratic maneuver to delay the Eurofighter sale”

Germany formally began technical talks with Ankara earlier this week over the potential sale of up to 40 Eurofighter Typhoon fighter jets worth $5.6 billion.

But the source said the move was simply a bureaucratic maneuver to delay the sale as much as possible.

“It’s like referring issues to subcommittees where you know there will be no progress,” a second source added. “A sale would be possible with a written guarantee

This is just repeating the earlier report from Middle East Eye and right after it, dated today, is the refusal from MSB.

Chancellor Olaf Scholz has defended arms exports to Turkey and sees progress in the potential delivery of Eurofighter combat aircraft. “Turkey is a NATO member, and therefore we often make decisions that lead to concrete deliveries,” Scholz said on Saturday in Istanbul after a meeting with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan. “This is self-evident, and we have made such decisions recently. There will be more to come,” he added.

The German government recently approved more arms exports to Turkey than in the past, which has drawn criticism from parties such as the Left and the BSW due to human rights violations in Turkey.

When asked whether Germany supports delivering Eurofighters to Turkey, the Chancellor only stated that there are some projects “that are still in the early stages.” He noted that the British government is advancing negotiations on the Eurofighter, which have just begun.

Its actually just the direct influence of pkk agents such as Sevim Dağdelen. They are also the parties calling for the delisting of the pkk as a terrorist organization. Not that the classification even matters, after all Germany itself stated that the pkk receives 16,7 Million euros annually via "donations" coming from Germany.
