RAF Typhoon APKWS Deployment Proves Combat Success, All 10 Eurofighter Nations Eye 'Drone Killer' Capability
Following the RAF's successful deployment of AGR-20A APKWS-equipped Eurofighter Typhoons in the Middle East in May 2026, all 10 non-UK Eurofighter operator nations have expressed strong interest in adopting the system. BAE Systems confirmed the development, highlighting APKWS's cost-per-engagement of just $20,000–$30,000 compared to air-to-air missiles costing hundreds of thousands of dollars — making it a compelling asymmetric counter-drone solution.
