Under a prior agreement from December 2017, valued at GBP 6 billion, Qatar had already ordered 24 Typhoons.
The jets, manufactured by BAE Systems at its Warton facility, are being delivered gradually, with the final two from the initial order expected to arrive by the end of 2025.
The new order secures additional work for BAE Systems and extends production timelines at the British factory.
Qatar’s air force operates a diverse fleet of advanced multi-role combat aircraft, including 36 Dassault Rafale DQ/EQ jets and 48 Boeing F-15QA Ababil fighters, with an option for 36 more.
