BERLIN (Reuters) - A German procurement proposal to replace Germany's aging fleet of Tornado fighter jets foresees the purchase of up to 93 Eurofighters, and up to 45 F-18s from Boeing (NYSE:BA), a German Defense Ministry source said.
Parliament would probably only deal with the proposal in 2021 or 2022, the source added.
The Eurofighter is built by Airbus, Britain's BAE Systems (LON:BAES) and Italy's Leonardo SpA.
