Apparently Turkey and Qatar have created a joint squadron at Qatar that is composed of Qatari Eurofighters and Turkish F-16s.

So will the new joint squadron speed up Turkey's proposed purchase of the Typhoon?

 

[kqcke for you]

Maybe some cooperation to make pressure for an turkish order (and maybe more fighter for Qatar?)

Just exactly what I was thinking kqcke for you. Let's see what happens to the Turkish order and of course how many they actually buy in the end if it does go through.

 

[kqcke for you]

I would Love that which may be just enough so germany doesn't have to buy a TR 5 before LTO ist finnished. Or atleast lets them have an EK outfit instead of just TR 4 with P4E (if they don't have it already)

Here's a video report from the Turkish MoD showing the visit, it seems they deployed 6 F-16s in Qatar.

Air Force Commander Air General Ziya Cemal Kadıoğlu visited Qatar following the permanent deployment of the newly established Air Component Command within the Qatar Turkish Combined Joint Force Command. General Kadıoğlu made the first flight with Qatar Air Force Commander Major General Jassim Mohammed Ahmad Al-Mannai.

Turns out there's some truth to this news from 2022 after all (⊙⊙)

"A set up of 250 Qatari personnel with a number of Qatari airforce planes (12 Rafale and 8 Mirage 2000) was already put in place in Türkiye for ”training” purposes in 2022 for a period of 5 years."

Qatar will soon deploy some 250 military personnel and 36 warplanes to Turkey as part of a military cooperation agreement between Doha and its close ally. This operation aims to get Qatari fighter pilots to train in Turkey.
