On December 6, 2024, Qatar announced a £2.8 billion deal to acquire 12 additional Eurofighter Typhoon aircraft, strengthening its military and defense ties with the United Kingdom. This acquisition builds on Qatar's previous purchase of 24 Typhoons in 2017 and adds to its diversified air fleet, which also includes French Rafales and American F-15QAs. The Typhoons will be integrated into the joint No. 12 Squadron, operated by both the Qatari Air Force and the British Royal Air Force. This deal highlights Qatar's ongoing commitment to bolstering its air superiority, fostering strategic partnerships, and enhancing its regional influence through defense cooperation with the UK.
