The pre-election speech of Recep Tayyip Erdogan in Afyonkarahisar was solemn, after the successful maiden flight of the Turkish 5th generation KAAN fighter.
“Turkey has left behind another critical stage on its path to the production of its own fifth-generation aircraft,” he said, speaking at an open rally ahead of the municipal elections on March 31, stressing that “today we experienced another proud day for the Turkish defense industry, this morning our national fighter jet KAAN successfully made its maiden flight.”
Leaving spikes against the opposition who did not believe that the project would be carried out, he said that “the choices of those who have lost their way concern themselves. We focus on our work. We did it and we continue.”
“We will continue to bring more good news to our nation”
Recep Tayyip Erdogan went on to say: “Despite the poor people without confidence, despite the indigestion of those who said it looks like a ‘radiator body’, despite the traitors who from the first moment tried to undermine KAAN, our national fighter jet today collided with the ethers. My Lord bless all who contributed. We will intensify our efforts to quickly complete the remaining tests of our KAAN, which will inspire confidence in friends and fear in enemies. In the period ahead, we will continue to bring more good news to our nation about the defense industry.”
It heralds new achievements
Addressing the assembled crowd he asked: “You watch KAAN, right? See what else is yet to come? Where are you still, to see what else is coming’?
The Turkish president also sent pre-election messages with references to the history of the Asia Minor war. “Afion, which yesterday wrote an epic by defending the homeland in the national struggle, today is writing a new epic by protecting the national will” he said, indirectly referring to the upcoming municipal elections. “Now I want you to shout as loud as you can from here, so that no one will be left who will not hear you from the Aegean to the Mediterranean and the Black Sea. We are ready; Are we citizens of Afyon ready for the Turkish Century on March 31?” he asked, rousing the crowds.
This morning the Turkish 5th generation KAAN fighter jet made its maiden flight. The prototype of the fighter jet took off from Ankara’s Murted military airport.
This is the low-visibility Stealth technology twin-engine aircraft designed by the Turkish Aviation Industry (with British BAE Systems as a subcontractor in the project), after the US decision to exclude Ankara from the F-35 program. It is planned to join the Turkish Air Force in 2028.
