German Chancellor Olaf Scholz is likely to reject Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan's request to buy Eurofighter Typhoon jets. Erdogan is expected to ask for at least 20 Eurofighter Typhoon jets from Germany, with an option to double that total, to respond to rival Greece's acquisition of Rafale fighter planes. However, Germany objected to the idea, leading Turkey to engage in talks with Britain and Spain to buy 40 Eurofighter Typhoon jets. Turkish Defense Minister Yasar Gular said that Turkey could progress on the purchase if Germany approves it. Erdogan stated that it doesn't matter if Germany gives them fighter jets or not, as Turkey can obtain them from other countries. Some observers are surprised by Turkey's request to buy 40 units of Eurofighter jets, and the German opposition to the sale stems from various reasons.
