据了解，“台风”战斗机由欧洲多国联合研制，为保证盈利，项目参与国需承担不同数量的飞机订单。此前，西班牙于12月20日采购25架“台风”战斗机，德国也在购买38架“台风”战斗机后，计划再购买20架。目前，英国是唯一未完成“台风”战斗机订单要求的项目参与国。
"The mood is very sad and grieving. The whole area is full of tears of the lost athlete," said Chemitai.
Chemitai said Cheptegei will be laid to rest on Saturday at her ancestral village in Kapsiywo, Bukwo sub-county.
"Tomorrow [Saturday] she will be taken to the district council hall for the councillors to pay last respect. Afterwards the body will be taken to Ananang playground for the funeral programme. She will then be taken to her final resting place at Kapsiywoo village for burial," said Chemitai.
Cheptegei, 33, competed in the marathon at the 2024 Paris Olympics, finishing 44th. She is also remembered for winning gold at the 2022 World Mountain and Trail Running Championships in Chiang Mai, Thailand. ■
