The new fighters will replace the aging Tranche 1 models, modernizing Italy’s air fleet and strengthening the country’s defense capabilities.

The Italian Air Force will receive up to 24 new Eurofighter Typhoon fighters. The contract for the supply of the aircraft was signed in Rome by the NATO agency NETMA and the Eurofighter Typhoon consortium. ANSA reported this on Tuesday, December 24.

The total cost of the program is estimated at 7.47 billion euros.

The Italian partner of the consortium, Leonardo, will be responsible for the final assembly of the aircraft and their delivery to the customer. The company will also provide logistics support.

The new fighters will replace the aging Tranche 1 models, modernizing Italy’s air fleet and strengthening the country’s defense capabilities. The aircraft is equipped with modern avionics, advanced Brimstone III and Meteor weapons systems, as well as new sensors.

According to Eurofighter Typhoon CEO Giancarlo Mezzanatto, Italy’s decision is an important step for European defense. The upgraded Eurofighters will operate effectively in the European combat environment until 2060 and beyond.

Not long ago it became known that Germany has given the first permit for the sale of 40 Eurofighter fighters to Turkey.
