Contract agreed with the Republic of Türkiye for purchase of Typhoon aircraft

BAE Systems welcomes the announcement today from the UK Government of a
c.£5.4 billion agreement with the Republic of Türkiye for the purchase of 20
Typhoon aircraft and an associated weapons and integration package.

Under the agreement, BAE Systems anticipates that it will recognise c.£4.6
billion including through its shareholding in MBDA. BAE Systems will
manufacture major airframe components, conduct the final assembly of the
aircraft and lead weapons integration activities in Lancashire, UK. The
weapons package will be primarily provided by MBDA, in which BAE Systems has a
37.5% shareholding.

The agreement announced today means the Turkish Air Force will become the
tenth air force to operate Typhoon and reflects the crucial role Typhoons are
providing in international air defence.

BAE Systems Chief Executive, Charles Woodburn, said:

"Türkiye's procurement of Typhoon marks the start of a new chapter in our
longstanding relationship with this important NATO ally and reinforces the
outstanding operational support the aircraft delivers across Europe and the
Middle East as a fundamental pillar of defence and security.

"Typhoon is an export success story and demonstrates how investment in defence
can fuel significant economic growth and returns across the UK. Today's
announcement extends Typhoon production and preserves crucial sovereign skills
which underpin the UK's defence and security."
