On February 21, 2024, aviation history witnessed a groundbreaking moment with the maiden flight of the TF Kaan, a fifth-generation fighter crafted by Turkish Aerospace Industries. This achievement not only marks Turkey's debut in producing modern fighters domestically but also signifies a broader initiative to enhance the country's military prowess with homegrown technology. Named the "national combat aircraft," or MMU, the TF Kaan symbolizes Turkey's ambition for self-sufficiency in defense. With plans to replace existing fleets and develop indigenous aircraft and helicopters, Turkey's journey towards military autonomy is underway. Despite challenges, the TF Kaan represents Turkey's determined stride towards aerospace innovation and strategic self-reliance.
