Saudi Arabia Near Decision on KAAN Fighter Programme

Turkish Aerospace Industries says Saudi Arabia is close to deciding whether to join Türkiye’s next generation KAAN fighter programme.

General Manager Mehmet Demiroglu said the process is in its final stages and expressed hope for a milestone this year.

Options under discussion range from purchasing around 20 jets to establishing local production in Saudi Arabia.

Industry sources say a final assembly line would likely require at least 50 aircraft to be viable. The KAAN project is central to Turkey’s push for defence independence.
