TR Air-Force TF-X KAAN Fighter Jet

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.

Where can we buy this?

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.

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

I think it's just a matter of hours.

I doubt they'll wait until Oct 29, though. Most people are expecting it then, and with that much attention on a (relatively) high-risk test, any hiccup would be magnified. It makes more sense to fly on a quieter day.

Tomorrow is the anniversary of the TUSAŞ attack, and I can't think of a better way to honor the memory of those we lost and the spirit born that day: "we will work harder, we will produce more."

Godspeed!

Oh shit true its prob tomarrow

When it will happen, we will know of it. No need to speculate.

Either tomorrow or on 29th is my best guess, would make sense if it was tomorrow since it is a memorable day and not to forget the motto of our engineers after that brutal attack "Hainlere inat daha fazla çalışacağız, daha fazla üreteceğiz" would be nice to wake up tomorrow morning to a video titled "Hainlere inat daha fazla çalışacağız, daha fazla üreteceğiz" by TAI and see P1 make its maiden flight.

I suppose there aren’t any flight today ?

 

[fushkee]

Any chance of KAAN fly, check the weather on Ankara. It could be a hint for that.

Even if they planned it for today, weather would not let that happen

They say that in Turkey, during times of drought, people gather to offer a collective plea to the heavens—asking for the mercy of rain. This is known as *yağmur duası* (a prayer for rain). Perhaps we, as fans of the KAAN, should also offer up our own kind of "prayer"—a "KAAN *dua*," if you will? I could compose a text so moving that the staff at TUSAŞ would be brought to tears and roll every single KAAN aircraft they have out onto the runway! 🫢

Not sure if you're taking the piss or not

I came to this forum because of KAAN.
It seems you’re new here; perhaps that’s why my slightly playful tone wasn’t taken the way I intended.
I don’t speak English—maybe the translation wasn’t entirely accurate?
