The name of Türkiye's national combat aircraft, known as TF-X, is KAAN, President Recep Tayyip Erdogan announced on Monday. Türkiye is now in every field – on land, in sea and submarine, in air and space, Erdogan said during an event – "Century of the Future" – organized by the Turkish Aerospace Industries (TAI) in the capital Ankara to introduce its aircraft together, including KAAN. The aircraft's name was given by Devlet Bahceli, the leader of Türkiye's Nationalist Movement Party (MHP), the president said.
