KAAN

On the sidelines of the IDEF 2025 exhibition in Istanbul, Indonesia signed a contract with the Turkish Defense Industry Administration (SSB) for the supply of 48 KAAN combat aircraft.

We have witnessed a historic moment.

- stated in the SSB.

The contractor is Turkish Aerospace Industries (TUSAŞ), a developer of a promising fighter aircraft that is scheduled to enter the Turkish Air Force by the end of 2028. TUSAŞ, together with local companies, will create an infrastructure in Indonesia for partial production and maintenance of ordered aircraft. More detailed details about the deal, including its value (estimated at $10 billion), have not been announced at the moment.

Thus, this contract was the first and at the same time an impressive export success for KAAN, which at the time of signing the deal was not even ready for combat deployment, let alone the technological maturity of the project. Egypt and Pakistan may become the next customers of the aircraft.

Istiif type frigate

In addition, Jakarta has ordered two MILGEM Istiif-class frigates from the Turkish company TAIS.

We hope that this cooperation embodying the common concept of the maritime defense of the two allied states will be beneficial for all parties involved.

- noted in the SSB.

Performance characteristics of Istiif type frigates

The Istiif-type frigates, as well as the KAAN fighter, can hardly be called a proven project: of the 8 ships intended for the Turkish Navy, only one was commissioned (in January 2024), two more were launched.
