Germany has ordered 20 new Eurofighters, to be produced by Airbus in Manching, with deliveries scheduled between 2031 and 2034.

The aircraft will feature advanced technologies, including E-Scan radar and Saab’s Arexis sensor suite, enhancing electronic warfare capabilities.

The Eurofighter remains the backbone of Germany’s fighter jet fleet, supporting NATO air defence and airspace surveillance.

The programme sustains over 25,000 jobs in Germany and involves 120 German suppliers, contributing to economic growth.

These Eurofighters will serve as a bridge to the Future Combat Air System, planned for operation by 2040, ensuring long-term air superiority.

Mike Schoellhorn shared: “This new order is further proof of the Eurofighter’s importance to the German Air Force and the strategic role it plays in our country’s air defence and NATO capabilities. The continued evolution of the Eurofighter serves as an essential technological and operational bridge to a Future Combat Air System (FCAS), ensuring a seamless transition to the next generation of air power.”
