Türkiye continues intensive testing and development of the indigenous BATU Power Group for the ALTAY Main Battle Tank, aiming to field BATU-equipped ALTAY units by the end of 2026.

SSB President Haluk Görgün announced that the KAAN fighter jet and indigenous engine programs are progressing on schedule, emphasizing that KAAN’s future is not dependent on any single foreign engine source and that Türkiye is rapidly advancing toward full independence in engine technologies.

Developed by TÜBİTAK SAGE, Türkiye’s long-range SOM cruise missile successfully hit its target during a test using a domestically produced turbojet engine — marking a historic milestone in national defense technology and self-sufficiency.

Defense Industry Agency President Haluk Görgün revealed KAAN’s second prototype, announcing plans for delivery in 2028 and integration of a domestic engine in the 2030s. Strong export growth goals were also highlighted.

One hundred domestically produced tactical wheeled armored vehicles, powered by Turkish-made engines, have entered service with the Turkish Land Forces and Gendarmerie. The vehicles, developed by BMC, reached a 95% localization rate.

Developed by TAI, AKSUNGUR UAV surpasses 20,000 flight hours and stands out with local engine integration, preparing for advanced operational roles.

BMC Defense plans to begin mass production of the New Altay tank in 2025, featuring an indigenous power pack undergoing rigorous durability tests.

Türkiye's defense industry has achieved a historic milestone with the "Tuna" engine, the first domestically mass-produced power unit, now entering the Turkish Armed Forces inventory.
