Germany ready to order third tranche of Eurofighter  

07:03 GMT, May 24, 2009 BERLIN, defpro.com | The German Ministry of Defence said that an order for the first batch of the third tranche of Typhoon Eurofighter will be placed before the summer recess begins and thus before the federal election in September.

This has become possible after Britain's recent commitment to buy tranche 3A of the aircraft. Germany was pushing Britain to go ahead with the purchase and to authorise payments before the German elections in September.

According to the German procedure, the parliamentary budget committee has to agree to the purchase.
