Landmark defence partnership

The UK Prime Minister Theresa May and the Turkish Prime Minister BenaliYildirim recently announced a landmark defence industry collaboration between the two countries. BAE Systems and TAI (Turkish Aerospace Industries) signed a ‘Heads of Agreement’ that will establish a partnership for the continued development of the Turkish Fighter Programme (TF-X). Worth more than £100m, this first contract has the potential to facilitate multi-billion pound contracts between Team UK and Turkish firms over the life-time of the project, strengthening the links between both nations.
