HALLBERGMOOS, GERMANY (BNS): The 250th Eurofighter Typhoon IS038 was delivered to the Italian Air Force at Pratica di Mare air base, Italy.

The 250th aircraft will join 311 squadron as part of their current duties.

“This is one more important milestone for the Eurofighter Typhoon programme. The delivery of 250 aircraft ensures that the Typhoon has more aircraft in service than any other new generation multi-role fighter, showing just how effective the Eurofighter programme really is,” Eurofighter CEO Enzo Casolini said.

Eurofighter Typhoon programme is Europe’s largest military collaborative programme and delivers leading-edge technology, strengthening Europe’s aerospace industry in the global competition.
