The Eurofighter Typhoon (aeronautical nomenclature F-2000A) is the most advanced combat aircraft developed in Europe, capable of offering broad operational capabilities and unparalleled effectiveness in the field of air defence. The aircraft is part of the Quick Reaction Alert System provided by the Italian Air Force’s units for air defence 24/7, 365 days a year. In a matter of minutes, it ensures the deployment of fighters to intercept and identify any suspicious aerial tracks detected by radar. The Eurofighter, which has recently acquired air-to-ground capabilities, is the result of industrial collaboration between Italy, Germany, the United Kingdom and Spain.
