I guess they'll see, they could very well sell them for spares to the manufacturer, keep them for themselves or even send to other customers if needed (particularly Fr, De or NL).
Any of these would be an intra-eu operation so really not sensitive (no need for particular authorizations or things like that).

A Bangladesh Air Force Chengdu F-7BGI has crashed on a school in Dhaka, more than 50 persons are taken to the hospital and at least 19 didn't survive the accident.
The Bangladesh Airforce received 16 F-7BGI between 2012 and 2013, and with the last delivery of these F-7s, production ended for the J-7.

For a couple of years Turkiye was seriously interested in the EF2000, but i didn't expect Germany will finally agree to sell them to Turkiye. On the other hand it will be strange if Germany allowed the sales to Qatar and Saudi-Arabia, but refuses to sell it to Turkey because of human rights violations.
Anyway, it is good news for Eurofighter, besides Turkiye there are only 5 export customers.

Yes, very important deal, especially for the UK.
Eurofighter has a good backlog of orders but the british assembly line is currently empty since no export orders are being delivered (the aircrafts for Kuwait are assembled in Italy) and the UK didnt order new aircrafts (while Berlin, Rome and Madrid ordered more than 100 new planes).

A Memorandum of Understanding, which is basically a joint statement of intent to carry out a common aim, in this case a purchase of Typhoon by Turkey, to be supplied by the UK. It does not commit either party to anything.

A bit irritating that they say "İngiltere". I doubt the Scots, Welsh & Northern Irish will like that.

A lot of languages use "England" as a synonym of "Great Britain" or "UK".
In Italian, 99% of the time you will hear "Inghilterra" used instead of "Gran Bretagna", it Is widely accepted and you will hear it almost always.
Its always been like that.
