BAE Systems targets 300 Typhoon exports

The biggest potential export markets for BAE and its consortium partners, EADS and Finmeccanica, are India, Japan and Saudi Arabia, which is already buying 72 Typhoons. An order from Switzerland could come as soon as next year and the consortium is also pursuing sales in Greece and Romania. It also has long-term ambitions in Brazil, Malaysia and Finland. Typhoon's biggest competitor is the US, which sells the F15 and F18 to the export market; France's Rafale fighter which it built after leaving the Eurofighter consortium; and Sweden's Gripen plane. Its other competitor is another BAE product, the F35 joint strike fighter, which the company is building in a partnership led by Lockheed Martin of the US.
