SAAB To Help Turkey Build Fighter Aircraft

SAAB To Help Turkey Build Fighter Aircraft

Turkey eyes replacing F-16s with locally produced fighter jets by 2023, Turkey’s defense undersecretary said yesterday. “We’re working on the conceptual design of a new fighter jet that will replace our F-16 fighters,” Defense Industry Undersecretary Murad Bayar said.

Turkish arms manufacturer (TAI) has signed a technical assistance deal with Swedish SAAB to build a fighter jet, as Daily News reported.

In recent months a Turkish delegation, including SSM officials, visited SAAB headquarters and production facilities in Sweden. And more recently, TAI and SAAB penned a preliminary agreement for technical assistance which will pave the way for a subsequent support deal.

Bayar said the project of designing a local fighter began last year and after some trials one of the designs has matured.

After completing the design phase, the undersecretary will make an offer on developing a fighter to the Defense Industry Executive Committee, the highest defense procurement body of Turkey, which includes Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, Defense Minister İsmet Yılmaz, Chief of the Turkish General Staff Gen.
