TUSAŞ, A TARGET OF TERRORISM, IS TURKEY'S POWER IN AVIATION

Turkish Aerospace Industries Inc. (TUSAŞ), one of the leading companies in the Turkish defense and aerospace industry, located in the Kahramankazan district of Ankara, is carrying out many important projects, including the National Combat Aircraft KAAN, which will place Turkey among the few countries capable of producing 5th generation aircraft. Established in 1973, TUSAŞ is involved in the design, production, and modernization of the aircraft that Turkey needs, as well as export activities.

With the significant projects it has implemented so far, the company has greatly contributed to the strengthening of the Turkish defense industry. Air platforms such as the T129 ATAK Attack and Tactical Reconnaissance Helicopter, T70 General Purpose Helicopter, ANKA, and AKSUNGUR unmanned aerial vehicles produced under the company's coordination serve the security forces. Products like the HÜRKUŞ Basic Trainer Aircraft, HÜRJET Trainer and Light Attack Aircraft, and GÖKBEY General Purpose Helicopter are counting down to enter the inventory, and tests of the unmanned combat aircraft ANKA III are also ongoing intensively.

TUSAŞ IS ALSO THE ARCHITECT OF KAAN

One of the company's most important projects is the National Combat Aircraft KAAN, which is currently under construction and represents a significant turning point in the country's aviation history. Thanks to the KAAN project, Turkey is taking an important step towards becoming one of the few countries in the world capable of designing and producing fighter aircraft. KAAN will place Turkey among the few countries in the world that can produce 5th generation aircraft.

The project will strengthen Turkey's independence in the defense industry and reduce its dependency. KAAN is expected to enter the inventory of the Turkish Air Force in 2028. TUSAŞ has also achieved remarkable successes worldwide. Recently, the company modernized the Su-25 aircraft in Azerbaijan's inventory and delivered them to that country.
