Speaking at his party's rally in Denizli, President and AK Party Chairman Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, referring to the tragicomic situation of the opposition, said that they were in a fight worse than a cockfight. Stating that even cockfighting has etiquette, Erdoğan said: “Today, they do not hesitate to hurl the heaviest insults at those whom they showered with compliments yesterday. 8-9 months ago, they were talking about ruling the country together. Today, they are undermining each other and interfering in their internal affairs. "They are now saying more of the criticisms we made about both the presidential candidates and the vice presidents," he said.
President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan pointed out that our 5th generation fighter jet KAAN successfully made its first flight, and emphasized that KAAN, which is the product of approximately 15 years of effort, effort and determination, exceeded a very critical threshold with yesterday's test. Erdoğan said that they plan to have KAAN join the air force at the end of 2028.
“Last year, we realized defense exports of 5,5 billion dollars,” said President Erdoğan, adding, “We are one of the 10 countries in the world that manufactures its own warships. We not only design and manufacture our ships ourselves, but also develop many technologies, from weapon systems to radars. Unmanned aerial vehicles UAV, SİHA, AKINCI, now our latest KAAN has been released. But we also have another very important step. We sent our astronaut into space. With the entry into service of KIZILELMA and ANKA-3, we are breaking new ground in this field and brought our KAAN to the sky. Our 5th generation fighter aircraft KAAN successfully made its first flight. KAAN, the product of nearly 15 years of effort, effort and determination, has crossed another very critical threshold with yesterday's test. "God willing, we plan to have KAAN join our air force at the end of 2028," he said.
Meanwhile, drawing attention to the economic trend, Erdoğan said, “We will achieve our goals in every field, especially the economy.
