An indigenous Indian fighter jet crashed during the Dubai Airshow in the United Arab Emirates on Friday, killing its pilot, said a statement by the Indian Air Force (IAF). “An IAF Tejas aircraft met with an accident during an aerial display at the Dubai Air Show today. The pilot sustained fatal injuries in the accident,” said the IAF in a statement. “Deeply” regretting the loss of life, it said, the IAF “stands firmly with the bereaved family in this time of grief.” The IAF will “ascertain the cause of the accident,” the statement added. Earlier, videos on social media showed the single-seater jet crashing down at the Dubai Airshow, billowing out huge amounts of smoke. According to Indian broadcaster NDTV, the crash occurred at around 2.10 pm local time (1210GMT) before thick smoke engulfed the site at Al Maktoum International Airport. The aircraft is developed by Hindustan Aeronautics Limited, and the incident at Dubai Airshow marks the second crash involving a Tejas aircraft in less than two years, said the report. Last year in March, a Tejas fighter crashed in India's western state of Rajasthan – “the first such accident in the aircraft's 23-year history since its maiden test flight in 2001,” while the pilot had ejected safely, it added.

Martyr's Day in Kuwait is commemorated annually on the 2nd of August. This significant occasion is dedicated to honoring and remembering the brave individuals who sacrificed their lives in the defense of their nation during the invasion of Kuwait in 1990.

Yes, they are. They just needed something fast to update their Air Force with something they could get their hands on (due to the fast changes in the region) within months from Qatar and Oman, and the remaining will come from the UK. This is all until they get their 5th generation TAI Kaan in service.

Turkey has reached a deal with the UK government to for the purchase of 20 Eurofighter Typhoon tactical jets. The £5.4 billion ($7.2 billion) agreement was announced on 27 October by UK manufacturer BAE Systems, which will provide major airframe components and complete final assembly of the Typhoon fighters. Once fielded, the Turkish air force will become the 10th operator of the twin-engined delta-wing fighter, joining partner nations Germany, Spain, Italy, and the UK, plus export customers Austria, Oman, Qatar, Kuwait and Saudi Arabia. “Turkey’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 continues to deliver across Europe and the Middle East as a fundamental pillar of defence and security,” says BAE’s chief executive Charles Woodburn. Also President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan also confirmed that they would acquire some used fighter jets of the same model from Qatar and Oman as a quick solution to enhance the air force's capabilities.

Outstanding, I love the details. Keep up the great job. -

I think this is a good solution.

The problem, sometimes, isn't the money; people just like to get anything for free, and they will do anything to go around the rules. Thinking they are smart, but in the long run, they are hurting the majority. With that, they are leaving no other option for the site owner, as he will not be able to pay for the experience of keeping the site, and everyone will lose. I myself did what @daddyairplanes suggested and downloaded everything I needed.

I got it working; that is a nice feature.

The free subscription was a good thing, really. When I saw it, I said to myself, "This is it. Members who can't afford paying or can't [for] any reason, this is their ticket home." But as always, there are some that don't think of others except themselves and will do anything because they are greedy. Thank you for trying Erik

Germany has approved the procurement of 20 Eurofighters of the Tranche 5 for €3.75 billion, as well as well as the Eurofighter EK variant’s development. A year after the announcement at ILA Berlin Air Show 2024, the Budget Committee of the German Bundestag approved on Oct. 8, 2025, the procurement of 20 additional Eurofighters (German does not use the name Typhoon), as part of the Tranche 5, equipped with the new AESA radar. The contract is worth €3.75 billion ($4.36 billion) and the deliveries are planned from 2031 to 2034, according to the press release of the Ministry of Defense.

Turkey is in advanced talks with Qatar to acquire its fleet of Eurofighter Typhoons. Qatar operates 24 Tranche 3 Typhoons that entered QEAF service as recently as 2022. The move is seen as a stopgap measure to supplement Turkey’s (ageing) F-16 fleet and bridge the gap as the domestically developed TAI TF KAAN project takes shape. Turkey is in talks with Qatar to acquire second-hand Eurofighter Typhoon jets, according to the UK-based Middle East Eye outlet. Ankara has not publicly confirmed these negotiations. The move is seen as a response to the lack of concrete progress on the procurement of new F-16 Block 70s and F-110 engines — critical for the domestically produced KAAN fighter jet — during President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan’s recent visit to the US last month. Talks are reportedly taking place at the highest levels. Turkish Defense Minister Yaşar Güler and the commander of the Turkish Air Force, General Ziya Cemal Kadıoğlu, were in Doha on Tuesday to discuss the potential acquisition, according to regional media reports. The Turkish Ministry of Defense confirmed that Güler met with his Qatari counterpart, Sheikh Saud Bin Abdulrahman Al Thani, for both official and delegation-level meetings. Ankara is seeking a stopgap solution to fill the capability gap until its indigenous fifth-generation fighter, KAAN, enters service in the early 2030s. Turkey’s extensive F-16 fleet is considered to be aging rapidly, creating an urgent need for modern aircraft. Qatar, which currently operates 24 Eurofighter Typhoon Tranche 3A aircraft and has ordered an additional 12 Tranche 4s, could offer a faster delivery timeline compared to acquiring new jets. Regional sources claim that while negotiations are ongoing, an agreement may be close, though no formal confirmation has been issued. This potential deal with Qatar runs in parallel to Turkey’s ongoing negotiations with the United Kingdom. On July 23, 2025, Ankara signed a preliminary memorandum of understanding to buy 40 new Eurofighter jets, but the deal has stalled. Ankara reportedly considered the initial British offer too costly, and talks over the final terms remain unresolved. Any transfer, whether from Qatar or the UK, would require approval from the Eurofighter consortium, which comprises Germany, the United Kingdom, Italy, and Spain. Regional sources suggest that consortium members are open to the deal, viewing Turkey as a future customer for Tranche 4 upgrades and additional purchases. Turkey’s push for new fighters follows its 2019 removal from the US-led F-35 Joint Strike Fighter program after it acquired Russian-made S-400 air defense systems. Analysts say this has left the Turkish Air Force with a significant capability gap. While the Turkish Air Force is eager to quickly acquire modern aircraft, defense industry insiders caution against costly stopgap purchases, instead advocating for prioritizing upgrades to the existing F-16 fleet using domestic technology.
