00:00Turkey has signed a deal with the UK worth roughly 9 billion euros to purchase 20 Eurofighter
00:08Typhoon jets. Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan hailed the agreement as a quote,
00:14new symbol of the strategic relationship between the two close allies. And British Prime Minister
00:20Keir Starmer added that the agreement provides the option for the sale of more jets in the future.
00:30Our countries may sit at either end of Europe, but we're strong partners, working more closely
00:57together now than ever before. We're united behind our collective security as NATO allies.
01:05The jets are manufactured by a group of countries, including the UK, Germany, Italy and Spain.
01:12Ankara and London had already signed a preliminary deal for the Eurofighters back in July.
01:17The deal over the summer followed shortly after Germany decided to lift its longstanding
01:22opposition to the sale of the jets to Turkey.
