KAAN will be capable of air-to-air combat with next-generation weapons and precision strikes from internal weapon mounts at supersonic speed, and will provide increased combat power with AI and neural network support.
The latest development makes Türkiye one of the few countries to own this technology.
The aircraft, for which the project began in 2016, was rolled out in March 2023.
Last year, it left the hangar for the first time, and last May, the name of the aircraft was announced by Erdoğan.
It is part of Türkiye's continuing efforts to shift most of its defense vehicles, weapons, and supplies from foreign sources to domestic ones.
