“We are living a true Renaissance of the Eurofighter Typhoon programme,” Mezzanatto proclaimed, emphasizing the revitalized interest and investment in the state-of-the-art fighter aircraft.
Mezzanatto detailed the promising outlook with key developments:
- Spain is negotiating the purchase of 25 new aircraft under the Halcon 2 project.
- Germany has announced plans to acquire 20 additional Typhoons by the first half of 2025.
- Italy is set to replace 24 of its older Tranche 1 models with new aircraft.
These strategic orders align with Eurofighter’s forecast made last year, which predicted an increase of 100 to 200 additional orders over the next two years. “I am happy to say that these predictions are confirmed,” Mezzanatto stated, underscoring the accuracy of their market insights and the strength of their product.
Furthermore, Mezzanatto revealed that Eurofighter is exploring “realistic opportunities” in the export market, with expectations to secure deals before mid-2025. This expansion into new markets highlights the global appeal and advanced capabilities of the Eurofighter Typhoon.
