ISTANBUL, June 11 (Bernama-Anadolu) -- Türkiye will produce and export 48 fighter jets, named KAAN, to Indonesia under a new defence agreement, President Recep Tayyip Erdogan announced on Wednesday.
According to Anadolu Ajansi (AA), in a post on X, Erdogan hailed contributors to the KAAN project, particularly the Secretariat of Defence Industries (SSB) and Turkish Aerospace Industries (TAI), as a record export deal is signed.
Indonesia's local capabilities will be utilised in the production of KAAN, he said.
"I hope this agreement, which highlights the progress and achievements of our domestic and national defence industry, will be beneficial for both Türkiye and Indonesia," Erdogan added.
KAAN, a 5th-gen fighter jet by TAI, made its maiden flight last year at 230 knots and 8,000 feet.
Türkiye is now among the few nations with this advanced tech.
