Turkey is waiting for a price proposal for the possible acquisition of Eurofighter jets after submitting a list outlining its technical needs to Britain's defence ministry, a Turkish Defence Ministry source said on Thursday.
The Eurofighter Typhoon jets are built by a consortium of Germany, Britain, Italy and Spain, represented by companies Airbus, BAE Systems and Leonardo.
Ankara has been in talks with Britain and Spain to purchase 40 Typhoons, and Germany took a step toward clearing the deal, after initially being opposed to it.
"The (...) document, prepared within the scope of the procurement of 40 Eurofighter Typhoon Aircraft, was sent to the British Ministry of Defense and the relevant company," the source told a briefing in Ankara.
"We expect the price offer to reach us in the coming days."
