Türkiye's air force

Germany has approved a document and given a preliminary green light for the sale of 40 Eurofighter jets to Türkiye, thereby initiating technical negotiations, several media reports have indicated.

The Turkish Trade Ministry has refuted allegations circulating in certain media outlets and on social media regarding the continuation of exports to Israel despite the newly imposed embargo.

Türkiye has said it will impose trade restrictions on Israel starting April 9 over the war in Gaza, covering a range of products including cement, steel and iron construction materials.

The new measures come a day after Türkiye said Israel had blocked its attempt to airdrop aid to Gaza.

Defense Minister Yaşar Güler has announced Türkiye's intention to purchase Eurofighter Typhoon jets, shunning the controversial F-35s from the United States.
