Eurofighter Typhoon: Riding the Wind

The Storm Warning update brings the roar of jet turbines, and with them, several new high-rank aircraft! And a special role among them is reserved for a couple of multirole European fighters that look a lot like twins.

In War Thunder, this plane is the new top for the aircraft tech trees of Germany, Italy, and Great Britain!
