20 Typhoons to be bought from the UK for $10.74 billion and a further 12+12 Typhoons from Qatar and Oman to arrive early next year:
"There are several reasons why the deal package is so substantial:
- Acquisition of a new aircraft infrastructure,
- Provision of logistical support for aircraft sourced from outside the United Kingdom (Qatar and Oman),
- Procurement of a large quantity of spare parts and various munitions,
- Establishment of a rapidly deployable training infrastructure,
- Likely preparation for the acquisition of additional Eurofighters in the future."
