Speaking to the Defense Commission of the Spanish Senate, Defense Minister Margarita Robles said that Spain is budgeting €1.375 billion for the TAI Hurjet buy.
Airbus will support TAI in developing the Hurjet to meet a requirement to replace the Spanish Air Force's Northrop SF-5 lead-in fighter training aircraft.
As demand grows for its products, Embraer has signed a memorandum of understanding with Turkish Aerospace, with the potential for a final assembly in Turkey.
