Airbus is confident of securing follow-on orders for the Eurofighter Typhoon combat aircraft with partner countries Germany and Spain.

Speaking at the Paris Air Show 2023 on 20 June, executive vice-president of Airbus Military Air Systems Jean-Brice Dumont said that the Halcon II requirement for Spain and the Tornado replacement requirement for Germany should see additional Tranche 4/5 Eurofighters contracted in the short to medium term.
