Oman Nears Eurofighter Typhoon Deal
Douglas Barrie/Farnborough Serious discussions are underway over the potential purchase of the Eurofighter Typhoon by the Royal Air Force of Oman.
The negotiations are believed to be at an advanced stage, with the aircraft being considered as a replacement for Oman’s Jaguar aircraft. It is not known whether the air force is looking at other combat aircraft types as an alternative to a Typhoon purchase.
In the region, Saudi Arabia has already committed to 72 Tranche 2 Typhoons, with interest in additional Tranche 3 aircraft. The first eight Saudi aircraft are now in final assembly at BAE System’s site at Warton in England.
