Some stuff were signed at highest level with no details.

If they did get agreements with one or two countries for their jets; I think those would still be announced after actual deal is signed with EF consortium.

Erdoğan, few minutes ago:

"Under the coordination of my Minister of National Defense, we have been discussing the purchase of Eurofighter fighter jets with our counterparts in Qatar and Oman for some time now. The negotiations we have been conducting on this matter, which involves many technical details, are progressing positively. One is Qatar, the other is Oman. I have also held these talks. My Defense Minister and Foreign Minister have also held these talks. They will continue these discussions in the coming period. We want to bring these talks to a swift conclusion and, God willing, strengthen our Air Force considerably. With the purchase of these aircraft, our Air Force will become much stronger."

First official mention of Omani aircraft indeed being talked about. But again, only "talks". If an agreement was reached, expect finalization with the deal signed; not before. Export control and all that; won't be a thing before the real deal is signed.

More claims and talks. We had already talked about Starmer coming to Turkey this month; more details from Özbek:

British MoD and RAF chief along with BAE admins will be present. Not so tiny chance of a deal being reached then. Özbek claims Turkey wants the 24 Qatari EFs and the slots for the 12 T4s they ordered to be transferred to Turkey.

"The report stated that delivery of the Eurofighter aircraft is scheduled to begin next year, but that new F-16s are not expected to arrive in Turkey before 2030. This gap is considered a decisive factor in the Turkish Air Force's decision to turn to European-made aircraft to meet its urgent modernization needs."

erdogan is the worst thing that ever happent to the Turkish Airforce if he hadnt bought the s400 for no reason we would have multiple f35s by now. But instead we are begging for second hand eurofighters.

erdogan is the worst thing that ever happent to the Turkish Airforce if he hadnt bought the s400 for no reason we would have multiple f35s by now. But instead we are begging for second hand eurofighters.

If he hadn't done that we wouldn't have a defence industry that has hit 85% self reliance by end of 2025 and going towards 100% by 2030.
And we are not begging we are pressuring to take what we want.
