Kuwait’s “E-Scan” Typhoon Makes Dubai Debut

A welcome attendee at the Dubai Airshow, the Eurofighter Typhoon from the Kuwaiti Air Force (KAF), makes its first major overseas public appearance. The KAF ordered 22 single-seaters and six two-seaters in April 2016, with Eurofighter partner Leonardo taking the lead in overseeing the order and assembling the aircraft at its Caselle plant near Turin. Deliveries got under way in late 2021. Kuwait’s aircraft are notable for being the first operational Typhoons to be fitted with the Captor-E radar with an active electronically scanned array.
