Farnborough updates on Turkey’s KAAN and India’s TEJAS/Kaveri push—TAI targets KAAN test/export milestones as HAL eyes 30 MK-1A

Turkish Aerospace leadership used Farnborough to outline roadmaps for the KAAN fighter, T-70 helicopter, T-925 heavy-lift platforms and HÜRJET, including progress toward a new KAAN testing phase tied to F110 engine export approvals. Separately, reports say HAL plans to raise TEJAS Mk-1A output to 30 annually, supported by “Kaveri 2.0” engine development, while Turkish Airlines signed for 12 HAVELSAN flight simulators.
