Yes, for 3-4 days I tried to confirm the claims that KAAN had a potential horizontal stabilizer problem from many sources, and I could not get any verification, confirmation. When I asked several sources I trusted about this, he clearly said that he had no such information, that he had never...

Certainly. It is quite normal and expected for problems to arise and for unforeseen situations to occur in a project of this nature. However, one should not give credence to rumors that have not been verified or confirmed by authoritative sources.

No one has confirmed that KAAN is experiencing any issues with its horizontal stabilizers. I looked into this today, and no one said they had any information on the matter. I guess it was just one of those ridiculous claims thrown out there when the flight was delayed. But the P1 needs to take...

Following the announcement that KAAN P1's maiden flight would take place in May, reports emerged that the flight had been postponed to June. Now, despite having reached November, the aircraft has still not taken to the skies. Naturally, this raises some questions. It seems that the development...

I believe that we should not share any speculation on the forum unless it has been verified, officially stated by an authoritative source, or directly attributed to TUSAŞ. Apart from this particular claim, there is absolutely no information or data anywhere suggesting that there are problems...

No flights took place today due to weather conditions and a packed schedule. According to sources close to the project, we won’t have to wait much longer for the flight; the KAAN P1 is likely to make its maiden flight during the first week of November.

Is there still anyone who believes we can get the F-35? The Israeli lobby will never accept Turkey’s return to the F-35 program. The Democrats have almost certainly won the midterm elections, which means there is no longer any chance of CAATSA sanctions being lifted either. For the past three...

It is said that the ties can be obtained from TUSAŞ.

That’s what I suspect, too. Yesterday, Erdoğan wore a tie featuring a KAAN motif, and today, TUSAŞ shared a video of the KAAN. It seems likely that our KAAN will take to the skies on October 29th, Republic Day.

Greece is nothing more than a paper tiger. It would only dare to go to war with Turkey if it has France, Israel, the EU, and the US firmly behind it. However, none of these countries would be willing to fight a war against Turkey for Greece’s sake. That is why Greece can do nothing but shout...

The Egyptian Foreign Minister announced today that they do not accept the agreement and consider it illegal. Ironically, Egypt had recently stated that it was considering joining the Mecca Defense Alliance. Yet today, it has declared that it does not recognize the Libya-Turkey agreement.

President Erdoğan was wearing a tie featuring KAAN motifs at the AK Party Group Meeting today. It seems the maiden flight of the P1 prototype is just around the corner we might even see it take to the skies on October 29, Republic Day.

The Greeks say they will extend their territorial waters to 12 nautical miles, but that they will decide when to do so. They are too cowardly to do anything more than put on a show for appearances. Greece wouldn’t have the courage to extend its territorial waters to 12 nautical miles even if 12...

I absolutely agree. Despite its wealth in oil and natural gas, the Aliyev regime keeps its population in poverty. Azerbaijan’s per capita national income is even lower than that of Armenia—a country with no oil or gas reserves and no access to the sea. Furthermore, I do not believe that the...
