"If we are talking about the Century of Türkiye today, the success we have achieved in the defense industry, which is both the insurance of our security and the locomotive of technological progress, has a great share in this," he said. KAAN will complete the test process within a couple of years and will enter the inventory of the Turkish army, the Turkish leader said. The fifth-generation aircraft, KAAN, was developed by TAI with an aim to replace the Turkish army's aging F-16 fleet.
