No F-35, no problem, as Turkey's fifth-gen fighter jet KAAN takes off 

As a former US veteran it makes me happy that Turkey is doing this themselves. The experience you’ll gain through this project is invaluable and Turkey will be a regional pillar of power, especially after their military build up commences. Variety of platforms is always going to be beneficial.

I congratulate the Turkish brothers, no one expected this kind of success, many projects are underway and I hope they will finish everything. Greetings from Bosnia brothers 🇧🇦🇹🇷👏🏻 Türk kardeşlerimi tebrik ediyorum, kimse bu kadar başarı beklemiyordu, birçok proje yapılıyor ve umarım hepsini bitirirler. Bosnalı kardeşlerden selamlar 🇧🇦🇹🇷👏🏻

Don't underestimate Turkey's weapon-making ability. They are quite competent and efficient.

This is good for Turkey. The hardest part for any domestic military is build their own fighter jet. Over next iteration after next, Turkey will learn and improve on building better fighter jets. US & Russia are few countries that make best selling jets because they have been building them for decades. Its great Turkey have passed there first major hurdles and will only improve from there onwards

Its no surprise, the unmanned and stealthy drone fighter kizilelma is testament of the speed turkey is climbing the military power ladder.

Jevaye Turkiya ,. Congratulations from Pakistan ❤❤❤

Kalian harus sadar bahwa pesawat ini adalah lompatan besar dalam pencapaian teknologi militer Turkiye. setidaknya turkiye bisa berdiri diatas kakinya sendiri dan tidak diatur negara lain. Bayangkan betapa sulitnya turkiye mendapatkan pesawat dr US atau Eropa, syarat begitu banyak dan rawan embargo. Ini tentang kemandirian, insyaAlloh KAAN akan memiliki mesin sendiri dan benar2 menjadi pesawat generasi 5 yang dengan kualitas setara dengan pesawat generasi ke 5 yang lain..

İnşəAllah bütün dünya TÜRKÜN gücünü görəcək🇹🇷🇦🇿💪

Glad they where able to gain a bit of their own industry back!

They make very robust military devices. Armed drones are already number 1... They have autonomous weapons that are far above artificial intelligence. Military tactical vehicles are almost unaffected by mines. They use new techniques in their frigates, they are very robust. They produced paint unrecognizability technology. They made armor from a mine, it has absolutely no effect on mines etc. The last one they made is said to be 5 generations old, but it could even be 6 generations.

I'm from the UK 🇬🇧 Turkey is part of the nato alliance ,we are all friends and on the same side .

Even if its not 5. generation jet, its made in Turkiye which is impressive. Really impressive, not many countries produce their jets. Good luck for Turkiye

Turkey 🇹🇷 ❤

Burada yorum yapan Türk kardeşlerim. Yorumlarınızda hiç kimseye bir şeyler ispat etmeye çalışmayın. Her zaman olduğu gibi ilerleyen tarihlerde Türkiye dünyanın şaşıracağı sürprizler yapacak. Tabi şuan gizli tutulması gerekenler var. Bir de yorumları ingilizce yazmaya çalışmayın. Düzgün Türkçe ile yazıp bırakalım. Herkes İngilizce öğrenmeye çalışıyor. Ancak ilerleyen zamanlarda Türkçe öğrenmek isteyen insanlar olacak. Türkçe yazarsanız merak uyanır. Çünkü buna ihtiyaçları olacak🇹🇷

Congratulations to Turkey from South Africa

Our vision is to carry out synchronized operations with other UAVs (consisting of propellers or jets) flying together with KAAN. KAAN will be the mother eagle and the UAVs will be the baby eagles.. Imagine a host plane communicating with the mind and directing the UAVs towards enemy targets.

KAAN was developed within 5 years! It flew ahead of 2026 planned schedule. Turks develop things with rapid speed as they work day and night. I will be surprised if it does not become operational before 2027! BAE is not a contractor! That was the original plan but it never worked out. They did play an advisor role in the design though early on. The more stealthy Turkish engine is almost ready which will replace the current one used for test. Turkey is working on 6th gen too and flew an unmanned fighter jet last year called MIUS, that is ahead already what the UK so far has done officially. I have yet to see an unmanned fighter jet come out of Europe still.

Remember, this is just a prototype. It will be further developed and become the 5th generation. The first F35 and F22 prototypes were pretty ugly and incompetent, but the now mass-produced F35 and F22 are very capable and great-looking aircraft. This fighter will be great when it goes into mass production. Türkiye is like this. An, which has developed its own engine, will be 100 percent Turkish when it is built.

Im a Turkish soldier and I can tell you our systems are very modern. I was actually shocked at the modernisation of the Turkish armed forces.

We Türkish Peopel are so proud of KAAN ❤

they are trying best for their motherland. forcing every option.

Türkiye hafife alınacak bir ülke kesinlikle değildir. Savunma sanayimiz gelişiyor. 🇹🇷

10 -15 yıl içinde dünyanın en gelişmiş 6.nesil savaş uçağını yapacağımıza yürekten inanıyorum, inanın abartı değil.. çünki biz çalışkan, fedakar zeki ve en önemlisi çok vatanseveriz

こっちの方が高性能でしょうね エンジンも二発です

Kaan'da ingiliz bae'nin tek bir avyonik sistemi kullanılmıyor ve kullanılmayacak. Yalnızca tasarım desteği alındı. GE f110 motoru geçici olarak kullanılıyor. Beşinci nesil düşük termal görünürlüklü yerli türk motoru geliştiriliyor.

TURKEY POWERFUL MİLİTARY 🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷

I wish this jewel serve in pakistan🇵🇰air force love from pakistan 🇹🇷❤🇵🇰

Turana selam yola devam

Turkey has presently surpassed UK in term of Aviation in term of homegrown 5th gen fighter & Advance drones..

Excellent Performance KAAN ❤

Congrata to Turky..for your Achivement

The Turks traditionally have a very serious military discipline. You see examples of what they started to do when the USA and Europe reduced or stopped selling Turkey the military weapons they wanted.They have also shown that as a NATO ally, when their demands are not met, they will get what they need from wherever they want. The Turks are going to improve their military technology day by day. Although there has been a brain drain recently, there are still many good engineers and software developers in Turkey who are patriotically dedicated to their work, and new ones are coming up fast.

In the 1960s, as Turkey and Greece's dispute over Cyprus grew On June 5, 1964, then US President Lyndon B. Johnson sent the famous Johnson Letter to Turkey In the letter, it was stated that Turkey's unilateral intervention in the island could lead to a war between the Turkish and Greek sides and that it was unacceptable for these two NATO member countries to fight. It was reminded that Turkey should consult with its allies before deciding to intervene. It was also implied that this war would lead to the possibility of the Soviet Union intervening in Turkey and that NATO would be reluctant to defend Turkey in such a situation. It was stated that the military equipment provided by the US to Turkey would not be allowed to be used in this intervention. Following the letter, Turkey abandoned its decision to intervene The letter is of great importance due to its impact on both Turkish public opinion and Turkish foreign policy. The letter was written in a very harsh and rude style and included humiliating expressions. The letter, which was kept secret from the public for a while, caused great disappointment both in the administration and the Turkish public. It also heralded some important changes in Turkey-US relations and Turkish foreign policy. Thanks to this letter, Turkey, which was a member of the Western bloc at the time, realized that there could be difficulties in developing independent policies when its national interests conflicted with the interests of the Western bloc, especially the US, the leader of the bloc, The international system is also influential here. In the bipolar system, as the distinction between the blocs hardened, the bloc members had difficulty in developing policies independent of the bloc they were in. As a matter of fact, after this date, with the effect of the softening of relations between the blocs, Turkey started to pursue multilateral policies. The dependence on the United States in foreign policy decreased and even minimized, and the process of rapprochement with the Soviet Union began. After 10 years of preparation following this letter, Turkey intervened in Cyprus in 1974 to protect the Turkish minority on the island and was subjected to very heavy embargoes. The decision to establish and develop Turkey's domestic and national defense industry was taken after the Johnson Letter in 1964 and has been implemented uninterruptedly by every Turkish President. Kaan's flight on February 21, 2024 is an important milestone in the goal of Indigenous, National and Independent Turkey taken 60 years ago

Nicely done ❤

Turkey the best👍 Now power will be balanced and not only western countries

looks more stealthy than SU57.. and this thing is only a Prototype.

Congratulations brother and Sisters Loot of Love And Respect From Pakistan We Pakistani People very happy to see that our brothers makes own 5th generation World Fighter Jets Now Conquer the World This era is yours Bravo

TÜRKIYE IS COMING ❗️🔥

The engineers that help to built it running towards Karan after it has landed, great job guys

1000 yıldır kesintisiz aktif savaş halinde olan tek ordu Türk ordusudur. Bu nedenle askeri gelişim çok normal,

Congratulations to Turkey

The tail wag on take off is awesome

Dunya haritasında en iyi coğrafik ülke olan Türkiye Karadeniz Akdeniz Ege denizi çevresinde önemli Bir güç.. Türk ırkı ve soyundan geldiğim için Allah'ıma sonsuz şükürler olsun.. TARİH ASLA YALAN KONUŞMAZ.. Türkler dünya kurulduğundan beri hep var ve var olacaktır.. dünya barış özgürlük huzurlu bir yaşam isteyenler Türkiye'ye destek vermek zorundadır çünkü Türkiye gerçek dosttur.. Türkler sizi seviyor ❤

KAAN looks like the F35 and F22 had a baby 😎

America made a monster by dont giving f-35💀

Very surprising for f35😂. KAAN is an excellent fighter plane 👏

Maşallah .

The engineers in turkey create awesome weaponry. Hopefully it can be used to protect the ones who are oppressed

Türkiyen KAAN ❤👏👍

TÜRKİYE great job

Teşekkürler Türkiye 🇹🇷🇦🇿🇱🇾🇹🇳🇵🇰....vb❤✈

🇪🇸♥️🇹🇷

Nice looking plane , Akıllı Şahin.

Thanks ❤🇹🇷🙋‍♂️

Alhamdulilah God bless Turkiye.

amazing accomplishment, Turkey is very advanced

5th generation is used very lightly

To see the limit of possibility, it is necessary to try the impossible. Fatih Sultan Mehmet Han

super

Thanks for explaining the context with the f-35 and recent f-16 deals

LOVE U TURKIYE

Thanks to USA who said goodbye to us from F35 program , without your motivation we wouldnt be that successful

Türkiyee ❤ KAAN 🇹🇷🇹🇷

Very good

It’s better not to rely on America.

Arkadaslarim. Biz Türklerin bagimsizlik mucadelesine tanik oluyorsunuz. Turkleri izlemeye devam edin💪

V kuyruk yapısı tek bir büyük kuyruk yerine iki küçük kuyruk ile aynı yüzey alanı kazanmak için yapılıyor, f22'nin kopyasını yapmak için değil 🤷‍♂️

Bu savaş jetinin ilk versiyonları tam anlamıyla bir F15EX 'e denk. ilk versiyonlarda dahi bu sınıfta, daha fazla mühimmat taşıma kapasitesi ve menzile sahip bir uçağı üretiyor olmak muhteşem bir başarı. Projede Blok30 ve sonraki versiyonlarının ise F22 Raptor ve F35'e denk, hatta bazı konularda üstün olacak şekilde, tamamı ülke kaynakları ile üretilen bir savaş jeti olması planlanıyor. Türkiye'nin 40 yılı aşkın süredir 4. nesil fighting falcons üretimi konusunda ender bir bilgi birikimi ve deneyimi mevcut. Üstelik 5. nesil bir savaş jeti olan F35'in son derece hassas mühendislik isteyen yüzlerce parçasını, üst düzey bir kalite standardında üretme konusunda da kendisini kanıtlamış bir ülke. Şimdi bu bilgi ve tecrübeyi kullanarak kısa zamanda çarpıcı sonuçlar elde edildiğini görüyoruz.

We closed in on ourselves for 100 years, but now we are self-confident, we work hard and we will succeed. We will increase our production in every field, not just producing weapons. While we work with all our strength to integrate with the west, the west is constantly in an embargo and exclusionary policy.

We KAAN. 🇹🇷

Funny thing is BAE is also a partner in the F-35.

Change this Indian music, we're the great TURKS 🇹🇷.

This is amazing

KAAN = TARİH DOĞUM KRALLARIN KRALI

Welcome ottoman

The only foreign in this fighter jet are two f16 engines and the ejection seat, the rest is Turkish made. Turkiye also developing their own jet engines and will be ready by 2028 FYI

Long Live Turkiye!!!!!

Super

Dosta. ❤. Güven ❤ düşmana korku ❤ 🇹🇷🤴🇹🇷🤴🇹🇷🤴🇹🇷🤴

KAAN means king of kings in Turkish, and his name is charismatic like himself.

looking like the lovechild of an F-22 and an F-35 does not a fifth-gen fighter make. The real differentiator is software and sensor fusion, something that can’t be ascertained about the KAAN.

a big step for Türkiye

Yashasin Kaan

Turkey reminds me of the old Soviet Union. It is economically bankrupt, but it has a good weapon industry.

It is to the benefit of all NATO that any NATO country advances in military technology.

This is our hope not dependent on others

kalite

Actually it seem's more like the F22. In both appearance and role, Assuming video is correct in calling it an air superiority fighter..

Hello, İt Means Tuerkiye not Turkey...

Tarihe not olarak kalsın bu yazım. 10 yıl sonra bir daha izleriz bu videoyu inşallah.

Allah pak kaamyaab kery Ameen

Making this a matter of national pride is one of the positive things in the country right now. The whole country wants this to happen. Turkish Media and public opinion seem to be following the developments.

Not convinced of its capabilites as of yet but it is a work in progress. Good for Turkiye 🇹🇷

5.nesil degil 6. Nesil ozelliklerini de tasiyor.

Good

China's not the only one that does knockoffs:)

🇹🇷 Turkey 🇹🇷 - The Sword of Islam !!! - 🇬🇧 Our 🇬🇧 'future friend' .. ?

We don't need F-35, we have *KAAN!*

❤❤❤

They woke up the sleeping giant !
