Verified Defence Equipment and Support (UK Ministry of Defence) press release, 19 January 2026

What it does not test. Does not establish new capability for the Typhoon fleet; this is a support and sustainment contract, separate from the BAE radar production deal.

How this item counts. No movement: no answer to who owns, who operates, whose law governs or who made the parts changes. Weight 0. Sustains existing UK-run Typhoon support; no new sovereignty question moved. European Sovereignty Index
