Eurofighter Typhoon will continue to play a key role as a deterrent and policing capability for 2015 says Alberto Gutierrez, the Chief Executive Officer of Eurofighter Jagdflugzeug GmbH.

Speaking from Eurofighter’s head office in Munich, Germany, the CEO said: “Now, more than ever, the role that the Eurofighter is playing in protecting nations and policing behaviours across the globe is a critical capability for our customer’s armed forces.”

With 427 Eurofighter Typhoon aircraft delivered to customer air forces in six nations, the multi-role fast-jet fighter is increasingly being seen protecting skies through a variety of missions – in some cases escorting civilian aircraft to safe landings where lives are believed to be in danger – and in others simply patrolling airspace and monitoring aircraft movements.
