Kaan P1 seen during final assembly
Aaaand it finally retracted its landing gears:
Is this the first time? I could’ve sworn I’ve seen it happen earlier like in 2023… might be Mandela effect.
Yes PT-1/2 have done so but neither PT-3 nor PT-4 until now.
Apparently, the US asked for Baykar drones and for them to be produced in the US as well as putting engines for the Kaan on hold. What a strange world we live in:
Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan: “The USA believes that the technology produced by Baykar could be a production field for the USA. The USA is demanding Turkey’s advanced technology in this field. Turkey can now sell ammunition and weapons to the US market.”
"The CAATSA issue with the US must be resolved. They need to take steps for both the F-35 and the engines of KAAN. The license for KAAN’s engine is currently on hold. When there are restrictions with the US, this will push us toward other pursuits in the international system."
