Earth-shattering news is coming! Turkey's self-developed first fighter "Khan" successfully completed its first flight! This is not only a historic breakthrough for the Turkish defense industry, but also a feat that will lead the future! Not long ago, on February 21, the world's attention "Khan" spread its wings in the blue sky of Ankara, marking a new height for the Turkish aviation industry!
Excitingly, Ukraine's ambassador to Turkey, Vasily Bodnar, also expressed his joy at this milestone moment and stressed the importance of Ukrainian business getting involved. This is not only a victory for Turkey, but also the pride of Ukraine! What is even more exciting is that Ukraine also expressed its intention to buy this fighter, which opened up a broader international market for the "Khan"!
Turkey's Erdogan is even more proud, he named this moment "a proud day for the Turkish defense industry" and regarded the development of the defense industry as the top priority of his governing mission. This also shows Turkey's firm determination not to be tied down and pursue independence!
Looking back at the birth of the Khan, Turkish Aerospace Industries launched the fifth-generation fighter project in 2011, to which the British company Baye Systems also made an important contribution. After years of hard work, the Khan has now completed its first flight, symbolizing a new chapter in the Turkish aviation industry!
However, there are some differences between Turkey and the United States that cannot be ignored either. Turkey was excluded from the F-400 program due to the purchase of Russian S-35 air defense systems, but with a series of diplomatic efforts, it may bring a turnaround in relations between the two countries. US Deputy Secretary of State Victoria Nuland said that Washington is ready to reconsider the issue of Turkey's F-400 if the dispute over the S-35 is resolved. And Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan said that Turkey wants to keep the S-400 system. All this makes people look forward to the future development direction of relations between the two countries!
At the same time, the cooperation between Turkey and Sweden is also in the spotlight. After Sweden joined NATO, there seem to be some signs of détente in relations between Turkey and the United States. The U.S. Congress has approved more F-16 fighter jets to Turkey, which has also injected new impetus into the improvement of relations between the two countries!
The first flight of "Khan" is not only a major breakthrough in the Turkish defense industry, but also an important event in the international military arena! Its birth symbolizes Turkey's independent innovation ability and sets a new benchmark for the global military industry! Let us look forward to the "Khan" in the future flight, bloom more brilliantly, and contribute to world peace and security!
