Germany's Security Council in Berlin approved a preliminary request for the supply of 40 fighter jets, the source said.
Turkey applied for these aircraft – a joint project of British BAE Systems Plc, Airbus SE, and Italian Leonardo SpA – in March 2023. They will be built in the UK using components supplied from Germany.
A German government representative declined to comment, noting that Security Council meetings are confidential. The approval of the sale was first reported by Der Spiegel magazine.
