GEORGIA The national state television Georgian Public Broadcaster (1TV.GE) announced that Türkiye's fifth-generation fighter jet "KAAN" has made its first flight. The story laid out the vehicle's technical specifications, ranging from its capacity to work with various platforms, to conducting precision strikes at supersonic speeds, all attributed to its artificial intelligence system. Thus, Türkiye became one of the countries which can manufacture fifth-generation fighter jets, the story read. "The first flight of the Turkish KAAN prototype was successfully completed," said Forbes Georgia, adding that the fighter jet will allow Türkiye's defense capabilities to be stronger and enhance the importance of the Turkish Air Force, as a domestically produced high-tech fighter jet will enter its inventory.
