The EF 2000 Typhoon, more widely known as the Eurofighter Typhoon, is a joint project between several European countries: the United Kingdom, Germany, Italy, and Spain.

The aircraft has proven itself in numerous contemporary operations – including NATO patrol missions and support during operations over Libya (2011). The IIB version is characterized by a dual-seat cockpit for training purposes, widely used for pilot training both in the manufacturing country and by other air forces acquiring the aircraft.
