There is an aircraft silhouette in the centre of the KAAN logo. The wings of this aircraft also form the lines of the two A's in the centre. The silhouette of the aircraft represents the hidden G. You know it exists, but it doesn't. lol. If there is going to be a brand presentation, they should include me in the team, I can create a really good fiction.


By the way! The Arab person you saw alongside the officials at the ceremony is Talal bin Abdullah. He is the assistant defense minister of Saudi Arabia.
Ibn-Kaan loading.

Putin made a big mistake by not letting RTE sit into the Su-57 cockpit. RTE was dreamt of this day even while licking his creamy ice-cream.

I actually saw the ceremony, you know
I actually saw Erdogan speeding up to the cockpit as if it was some sort of a lovers re-union
I both laughed and felt emotional when he was smiling like a little kid while sitting within KAAN'S cockpit
As if his crush finally accepted his love, lool
Good for Erdogan🥳😂

Just look how happy he is👇

- last decade Wikipedia shows as not reliable sources because of many reasons.
- if we speak academically the Kagan mentioned in orhun inscription which is in 8 th century or 7th. it is Turkic. But for academical reasons and sources. The Khan also mentions very earlier in sogd titles. Which is why it's believed as a collective word or still not declared as Turkic origin. For example, the word Tengri believed to be origin or Sumerian dingir.

So i presented as Academical factor by that definition you can claim as Turkic but saying as only Turkic is not very academical.

No. it means same. But it was created different era of turkic language / mongol language that gets extra meaning. it all originated from ḳaġan/χaġan/χān.. Similar like

Timur/tegi / temir/ demir/ teymour/ etc etc.


You are saying Khan and Khagan are the same thing they are related but not the same. Especially not in the context of Turkish usage. Even during the Ottoman times Crimean "Khans" were vassals of Ottoman "Kağan/Hakan". In Turkish use, khagan means khan of khans and is a higher title than a khan.

Etymological POV it is the same :)
as for context of using Turkish. You use "ne haber" in many ways too, to ask many things 10+ ways
. You see Turkics as nomadic nature are very simplistic the word "Deniz:sea" which comes from tengiz/tenggis also means ocean. Old baikal lake was considered tenggis (ocean) as immerse size. which is why the Genghis khan name /cengiz comes from (Tenggis: deniz ) its same word. But uses as metaphoric way of Ocean immerse size as : huge/Universal.

That what's all about. As for Turkic language history khan, han, kagan ,kaan came from different era or different Turkic/mongol language adaptation . Similar as. it's you can find "Turkmen" 4+ meaning in the context of Turkish usage also in historical timeline. While all comes to same word.

Khan common among Pakistanis but the name Begum is also common in Pakistan and Bangladesh.

Begum is a Turkic word called Beyim or Begim.

Khan and Begum have always been seen as high titles. They always symbolised high class and nobility. Also Khan represented being strong amd masculine.

Be strong as Genghis Khan.

İsmail Demir is on guard to keep Kaan grounded until he is ripe enough to fly. Avid pilots and a fledgling fighter mingling is a recipe for unintended action. Pilots can go trigger happy any moment.

WOW the helmet is dope! Gives Daft Punk vibes!

Joke aside, there's another middle finger to beyond Atlantic. We didn't use TF-23 like American codes (F-16 22 35 etc) but used European code like Rafale, Typhoon etc KAAN! Damn great name; it's Turkish, short and cool af 😎!
