Spain has followed Germany, Italy and the UK in receiving its first production examples of the Tranche 2 Eurofighter, with three of its 34 aircraft having been delivered to its Moron air base near Seville.
Madrid had already received 19 Eurofighters under Tranche 1 production of the type, and its total commitment to the four-nation programme totals 87 aircraft.
