By BURAK EGE BEKDIL, ANKARA And UMIT ENGINSOY, WASHINGTON
Eurofighter, which recently lost out to Lockheed Martin in a multibillion-dollar deal with Turkey, is again pitching its Typhoon fighter jet to Ankara.
“The Typhoon would be a perfect complementary solution if the Turkish Air Force is to maximize its air deterrence,” said Enzo Casolini, vice president for Alenia Aeronautica, the Typhoon consortium partner assigned to market the plane to Turkey. “We expect Turkey to join our new phase. Turkey’s decision to choose the JSF [Joint Strike Fighter] does not exclude the Eurofighter option.”"
