Indonesian Government has approached offers to buy 15 Used Eurofighter Typhoons fighter jets from Austria
Austrian defense minister Klaudia Tanner received a letter dated July 10 from his Indonesian counterpart Prabowo Subianto intended to acquire 11 Eurofighters, Die Presse newspaper reported Sunday.
There is no official confirmation from Indonesia or Austria on this matter.
Austria bought the 15 jets in 2002 for nearly €2.3 billion. These jets are from Tranche 1, a marker for basic operational capabilities, which focuses more on air-defense missions. Eurofighter consortium has offered upgrades to Tranches 2 and 3, which greatly improves the fighter’s ground attack capabilities.
