Spain <\/a>will become in 2028 the first country in the European Union and NATO to use jet training aircraft manufactured in Turkey, a sale considered a historic milestone in the Eurasian country, the Turkish semi-state agency Anadolu reported this Tuesday.<\/p>\n\nThe final purchase agreement for up to 30 ‘H\u00fcrjet’ aircraft, with a total value of 2.6 billion euros, has been announced by the President of the Turkish Defense Industry Agency, Haluk G\u00f6rg\u00fcn.\n\n“Turkey’s first national jet training aircraft, H\u00fcrjet, has achieved a historic export success for the country’s defense industry by being officially selected by the Spanish Air and Space Forces,” Gorg\u00fcn highlighted on social media.\n\n\n
