I looked at this photo and cried a little bit. So many things went through my mind, so many things I had planned to write when the first flight took place. But I know that we all already have the same feelings in our hearts, the same pride, the same mood of feeling that we have overcome our misfortune. Words are not enough. A few thousand heroic Turkish sons are changing the destiny of their nation.
! A very bad day for all the haters mocking MMU Kaan as a fantasy, it‘s reality now.

It's hard to believe that this is really the first landing of KAAN! TAI have done an extraordinary job.

The post is speculative and most likely not true.

It's information, not speculation. You would have hard time finding more trustworthy sources than Tayfun Özberk.
I know him to be trustworthy but that's just as big news as KAAN, so I can't wonder if its more of a wish than concrete info

Sometimes in the heat of the moment we don't fully understand the situation. The record of Turkish defense aviation in the last 2 years. There are at most a few countries in the world that have a similar diversity of projects and produce such successful programs. They are either superpowers or world-wide technology powerhouse countries. Sometimes even we underestimate the potential of our country. However, our preparations, which have been going on for decades with great sacrifices and great struggles, have now started to yield results.
It's 2024 mate, everyone has a camera in their pocket and this is an iconic moment that'll be remembered for years to come. There is no way to prevent a leak about this moment.
