Briefing

What Hype is tracking

Portugal recently chose France's Dassault Rafale over the U.S. F-35, showing active fighter modernisation decisions and a procurement environment that bidders must navigate.
The Eurofighter remains a live export contender amid fresh demand: Germany approved a €3.75bn purchase for 20 Eurofighter Tranche 5 jets, signalling continued programme sales and industrial workshare activity across Europe.
High-level export diplomacy is underway elsewhere for the type — the UK is preparing to finalise a 40-jet Typhoon sale to Turkey, underlining the political and industrial dimensions bidders must manage.
