KAAN engine sale clears US congressional review stage
A key stage in the U.S. congressional notification process for the sale of F110 engines to be used in Türkiye’s indigenous KAAN fighter jet has been completed without Congress blocking the transaction.
The U.S. State Department formally notified Congress on June 24 of the proposed sale, which includes work related to F110-GE-129E/F engines for the fifth-generation aircraft.
Several members of Congress later introduced a joint resolution seeking to halt the sale during the 15-day review period that applies to NATO allies, according to information provided on the process.
The resolution, submitted to both the House of Representatives and the Senate, sought to block the planned sale of certain defense equipment, services and related support to Türkiye.
