La véritable stratégie de défense derrière le KAAN - Analyse

The Turkish TF-X KAAN fighter jet is the culmination of a long-term strategy of self-sufficiency pursued for over 40 years. How did Turkey go from being heavily dependent on arms imports (particularly from the United States) to one of the most dynamic players in the global market? What are the origins of this strategy? Can the KAAN truly become a credible competitor to major Western programs?
