Kaan prototype starts taxi tests

The Turkish Aerospace Industries (TAI) has initiated taxi tests for the initial prototype of its Kaan fighter aircraft, marking a significant step forward in the program’s development. This progress follows ongoing test operations conducted by the Bayraktar Kizilelma uncrewed combat aircraft, which recently demonstrated weapons deployment from its internal bay. A video released by TAI showcased the Kaan prototype successfully completing these preliminary ground maneuvers. These taxi tests represent an essential phase before the Kaan's inaugural flight is scheduled to occur. The Kizilelma continues its testing activities as Turkey advances this next-generation aerial defense system.
