Kuwaiti Air Force Typhoons are going to be the
most advanced in service among the eight Eurofighter operators.
On Oct. 15, 2021, the first two Eurofighter Typhoon jets destined to
Kuwait made their first flight at Leonardo’s Caselle plant near Turin,
northwestern Italy.
The two aircraft were given the Italian experimental serials CSX55243
and CSX55244 but they will become KT001 and KT002 once in service with the
Kuwaiti Air Force. The aircraft currently sport the flag of Kuwait, the Kuwaiti
Air Force insignia and a medium grey paint scheme that, under certain lighting
conditions, seems quite similar to the one of the German Air Force Typhoons.
