Eurofighter consortium targets over 200 Typhoon jet sales amid competing bids
Current overview (not historical)
At the Munich International Fighter Conference, the Eurofighter consortium disclosed a plan to sell more than 200 Typhoon multirole fighter jets on the global market.

Report first recorded Nov 5, 23:57
The Eurofighter consortium said at the International Fighter Conference in Munich that it is pursuing global opportunities to sell more than 200 additional Typhoon multirole fighters. Identified prospects include second batches for Turkey and Saudi Arabia totaling 78 units and a potential 36-aircraft order from Austria, while more than 86 other aircraft in the 200-plus projection remain unspecified. Airbus is finalizing a proposal to replace Portugal’s aging F-16 fleet and will submit it by year-end; Poland may buy 32 more jets but could choose U.S. F-35s after a $4 billion financing loan; Bangladesh is also negotiating with China over J-10CE fighters. The target is up from 134 units cited at last year’s conference.
