The Eurofighter Typhoon is a twin-engine multirole fighter that was originally developed to be the primary aircraft of Europe and NATO.
The fighter jet is Europe's largest military program and was founded by four core nations: Germany, Spain, Italy, and the UK.
In 2011 the Eurofighter was deployed to its first combat mission, to enforce a no-fly zone over Libya during the NATO bombing campaign in the country. There are over 400 Eurofighter jets designed for the Austrian, Italian, German, Spanish, UK, Omani, and Saudi Air Forces.
The Eurofighter has been called Europe's version of America's most expensive weapons system, the F-35 Lightning II.
