Britain’s Biggest Weapons Export Year Since 1983—Type 26 for Norway, Typhoons for Turkey

The UK has announced a historic defense export record—over £20 billion in arms sales in 2025. But what sits behind that headline? In this video, we break down the two mega-deals that reportedly drive roughly 90% of the total: Norway’s Type 26 frigate purchase and Turkey’s Eurofighter Typhoon agreement. We analyze what “export sales” actually mean (contracts vs. immediate budget revenue), why shipbuilding and fighter programs lock in long-term strategic partnerships, and how delivery timelines stretching into 2029–2030 shape geopolitical leverage. We also examine the debate around contract valuation, the role of BAE Systems, and what smaller deals like C-130 transfers and Czech Jackal 3 vehicles reveal about Europe’s rearmament priorities. Finally, we connect the UK’s export narrative to future expectations around AUKUS and the SSN-AUKUS submarine pathway. If you follow defense industry trends, NATO procurement, European security, or great-power competition, this is the context you need to understand what Britain’s record year really signals—and what could still derail it.
