The Third and Fourth Eurofighter Typhoons Landed in Kuwait

The third and fourth Eurofighter Typhoons for the Air Force of Kuwait delivered on March 29, 2022. In the framework of a wider order, a total of 28 aircraft will be delivered to the Kuwait Air Force.

The ferry flight for the new Kuwaiti Eurofighters was made possible thanks to the Italian Air Force’s essential support, which guaranteed the “Air to Air Refueling trail”. This was achieved through a complex operational activity involving one KC-767A tanker from 14th Wing, Pratica di Mare.

The Eurofighter Kuwait Program is part of a wider and deeper collaboration between the Italian Air Force and the Kuwait Air Force, spanning over operations, pilots training, and support. The Italian Air Force is ensuring, in Italy, the initial training of the engineers and technicians who will support the Typhoon fleet activity in the Country.

Leonardo also plays a key role in the evolution of the Eurofighter thanks to the new AESA (Active Electronically Scanned Array) radar that equips the Eurofighter Typhoons for Kuwait, which increases the aircraft's performance and competitiveness.

The Eurofighter aircraft benefits from a well-defined program of technological updating and improvement that guarantees its competitiveness throughout its entire lifecycle. Constantly evolving technologies, both onboard the aircraft and in the context of logistical support, increase its operational effectiveness, survivability, and efficient management. The Eurofighter program is a cornerstone in the development of European aerospace and defence technologies and provides the industries involved with technological leadership that will guarantee competitiveness for many next-generation programs.
