Egypt approved to join Türkiye's 5th-generation KAAN fighter jet program

Türkiye has approved Egypt's participation in its fifth-generation KAAN fighter jet development program, opening new avenues for military-industrial cooperation between the two regional powers, according to the defense intelligence website Tactical Report's report on July 30.

The partnership, which follows months of negotiations and high-level military exchanges, is reportedly set to position Egypt to become a co-producer and manufacturer of the advanced aircraft being developed by Turkish Aerospace Industries (TAI).

Although Arab media outlets have widely reported the news, the report has not yet been confirmed in any way in Türkiye.
