Italy has signed for up to 24 new Eurofighter Typhoons (designated F-2000 in national service) to replace early model aircraft that are due for retirement.
Leonardo, the national industrial prime in the four-country Eurofighter consortium, announced the deal with the NATO Eurofighter and Tornado Management Agency (NETMA) on 23 December. The announcement did not say what tranche the new aircraft would be, and neither did it provide a breakdown of the number of single and twin seaters. [...] Speaking to reporters at the Farnborough International Airshow in July, Eurofighter CEO Giancarlo Mezzanatto said that Italy's urgent requirement for these new aircraft would see them delivered with the Leonardo European Common Radar System (ECRS) Mk 0 radar, which is the latest operational version of the E-Scan radar.
