The Defense Industry Executive Board has given the green light for the first domestically produced fighter jet, which is planned to enter service in the 2020s. The conceptual design, the first step of the project, will take 2 years.
In the 100th year of the Republic, Turkish skies will witness the arrival of the first Turkish fighter jet. The decision to launch the first Turkish fighter aircraft was made at a meeting of the Defense Industry Executive Committee chaired by Prime Minister Erdoğan.
It was decided to conduct a conceptual design to meet the Air Force Command's jet training and combat aircraft needs from the 2020s onwards.
