===Turkey===
Turkey has also expressed interest, amid US hesitance on delivering the latest block F-16s, and started negotiations with the UK.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://eurasiantimes.com/turkey-confirms-interest-in-eurofighter-typhoons-says/?amp|title=Turkey Confirms Interest in Eurofighter Typhoons; Says Negotiating with Europe Amid F-16 Uncertainty |work=The Eurasian Times |first=Sakshi |last=Tiwari |date=27 September 2022 |access-date=20 March 2025}}</ref> Defense Minister [[Yaşar Güler]] underscored Turkey's continued interest in acquiring Typhoons, saying that they remain a compelling alternative, despite recent disagreements with Germany over the potential purchase. "If we can realize the issues we talked about with our friends, maybe we won't need it, but we do now. The Eurofighter is a very good alternative, and we want to buy it," Güler said in a televised interview with private broadcaster NTV on 11 December 2023.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.hurriyetdailynews.com/turkiye-still-seeking-eurofighter-deal-despite-german-reluctance-188543|title=Türkiye 'still seeking Eurofighter deal' despite German reluctance |work=Hürriyet Daily News |date=11 December 2023 |access-date=20 March 2025}}</ref> Turkey expected the United States to approve a proposed sale of new F-16 jets and modernization kits in return for Ankara finally green-lighting Sweden's admission into NATO.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://foreignpolicy.com/2024/01/28/turkey-sweden-nato-erdogan-foreign-policy-history-us-europe-west/|title=This week, Turkey's parliament finally approved Sweden's bid for NATO |work=Foreign Policy |last=Silverman |first=Reuben |date=28 January 2024 |access-date=20 March 2025}}</ref> It was revealed in November 2023 that Turkey was in talks with the United Kingdom and Spain over procuring 40 Typhoons.

President [[Recep Tayyip Erdoğan|Erdoğan]] has been in Germany since the negotiations were revealed, but is reported not to have raised the issue with German Chancellor [[Olaf Scholz]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.forbes.com/sites/pauliddon/2024/01/02/the-regional-context-of-turkeys-eurofighter-bid/?sh=742fff93160b|title=The Regional Context Of Turkey's Eurofighter Bid|website=[[Forbes]] |last=Iddon |first=Paul |date=2 January 2024 |access-date=20 March 2025}}</ref>

In November 2024, Turkish Defence Minister Yaşar Güler said, "We will buy 40 Eurofighter Typhoon fighter jets", crediting Italy, Spain, and the UK for their support in persuading Germany, which had resisted the sale for years. In March 2025, the UK formally submitted a proposal from BAE Systems to Turkey for the purchase of 40 jets.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://greekcitytimes.com/2025/03/14/uk-presents-bae-systems-eurofighter-proposal-to-turkey-for-40-jet-deal/ |title=UK Presents BAE Systems’ Eurofighter Proposal to Turkey for 40-Jet Deal |website=Greek City Times |last=Giannopoulos |first=Brian |date=14 March 2025 |access-date=20 March 2025}}</ref> In April 2025, German news sources close to the government claimed that the German government was blocking the export of the Typhoon to Turkey, expressing concerns over recent political developments, especially the [[Arrest of Ekrem İmamoğlu|arrest of opposition Istanbul Mayor Ekrem İmamoğlu]]. However, the [[Ministry of National Defense (Turkey)|Ministry of National Defense]] and the German government denied the allegations. It was said that the sale of the Eurofighter Typhoons was a decision left to the new German government, which viewed the sale of weapons positively.<ref>{{cite web | last=Charpentreau | first=Clement | title=Germany vetoes Eurofighter Typhoon sale to Turkey | publisher=AeroTime | date=21 April 2025 | url=https://www.aerotime.aero/articles/germany-blocks-eurofighter-sale-turkey-imamoglu-arrest}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news|last=Koch |first=Moritz |last2=Olk |first2=Julian |last3=Rogg |first3=Inga |last4=Specht |first4=Frank |date=17 April 2025 |title=Bundesregierung stoppt Eurofighter-Export an die Türkei |language=de |url=https://www.handelsblatt.com/politik/deutschland/ruestung-bundesregierung-stoppt-eurofighter-export-an-die-tuerkei/100122181.html |access-date=2025-04-18 |newspaper=Handelsblatt}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news|last=Şahin |first=Tuncay |date=25 April 2025 |title=Germany’s caretaker government denies blocking Eurofighter sale to Türkiye |language=en |url=https://www.trt.global/world/article/81504af5353c |access-date=2025-05-01 |newspaper=TRT Global}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news|last=Kita |first=Kita |date=24 April 2025 |title=German government denies blocking Eurofighter sales to Türkiye |language=en|url=https://www.dailysabah.com/business/defense/german-government-denies-blocking-eurofighter-sales-to-turkiye |access-date=2025-05-01 |newspaper=Daily Sabah}}</ref>
