On October 23, 2024, a deadly attack took place on the " TUSAŞ " aircraft, helicopters, drones, and satellite factory, the largest in Turkey, by two armed terrorists from the Kurdish secular organization "PKK," supported by America and "Israel." This terrorist organization that attacked the Turkish aircraft factory has intelligence relations with "Israel," and it establishes camps and trains its elements in northern Syria under the protection, funding, and arming of the American military and intelligence support. They are also trained by "Israel" and participate with them in the extermination of Gaza.
On July 24th of last year, the newspaper "Turkey" revealed that more than 2000 members of the "PKK" organization joined the Israeli army to participate in the genocide in Gaza. Preparation is underway to send another 2500 after Israel trained them for 18 days in Sinjar with the help of Yazidi Kurdish officers and agents from "Mossad."
The incident ended with the killing of the terrorists, and the martyrdom of two engineers from the aerospace company " TUSAŞ," as well as two employees and a taxi driver who were killed by the terrorists to steal his car and infiltrate the company. The engineers were rescued from being hostages.
The first comment was made by Yiğit Bulut, the advisor to Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, on the armed attack that targeted a Turkish aircraft and fighter industry factory to the Turkish media, accusing Western powers and "Israel" of supporting the attack to hinder the strong Turkish aircraft industry. He stated that this company produces a Turkish fighter aircraft that competes with the American "F-35" stealth aircraft. He said: The powers that refuse to sell us fifth-generation fighter jets attack our facilities where we have started manufacturing fighter jets ourselves.
The advisor to the Turkish president also accused "Israel" indirectly, saying: His talk is directed to those who underestimate saying, "Israel" will attack Turkey. The Turkish president announced that "Israel" will not only settle for Lebanon and Gaza but will also attack Syria and Iraq, threatening Turkey's security.
The Turkish journalist Mahmet Konyaqli says: One of the surprises and coincidences of the attack on the Turkish weapons and aerospace company is that the attack targeted the "TAI" facility that produces fifth-generation fighter jets for the first time in Turkey's history, referring to the "ANKA-3" fighter. He added that the terrorists who held hostages engineers working at the company photographed them and their photos were published in less than 10 minutes from the attack. This means implicitly that the Turkish journalist suggests that there may be an entity behind the attack to identify the working engineers and then assassinate them later, or to prove the success of the operation to those who hired them, but they were killed before the majority of the engineers.
It was also ironic that the attack coincided with the timing of the largest defense industries exhibition held in Turkey, where large contracts are often concluded, as if the goal of the attack was to undermine the company's credibility and bankrupt it, as the Turkish politician Fatih Tuzcan says about the timing of the attack on the " TUSAŞ " facility.
Why America and "Israel"?
Many estimates published by American and European newspapers and research centers indicate that America and "Israel" are very concerned about the progress made by Turkish President Erdogan in developing the Turkish weapon industry.
Turkey did not settle for producing advanced drones of different models (Bayraktar and Akinci), which have decisively won wars in 5 countries, the most prominent of which are Azerbaijan against Armenia, Libya against the rebel general Khalifa Haftar, and other African countries, but it started producing its own fighter aircraft after America blocked its access to the "F-35" aircraft, even though Ankara contributes to producing parts of it.
Turkey was involved in the production of the F-35 aircraft with investments estimated at two billion dollars. Parts of the aircraft are produced in Turkey. When Turkey purchased the Russian S-400 missile defense system after the US refused to sell it the Patriot system, America punished Turkey by removing it from the aircraft production program and refusing to provide it with these aircraft. America also refused to refund the money Turkey invested in the project.
This pushed Turkey to accept the challenge and start producing its own fighter jets. Currently, two Turkish companies are competing to produce a fighter jet that is rumored to outperform the American one. This worries America, which does not want Turkey to develop its weapons or become a major power in the region due to its Islamic ideology.
The Zionist occupation state also fears Turkey's superiority in weapon production due to the conflict between them and Turkey's competition in the arms trade. There have been signs in the Turkish newspapers and statements from prominent Turkish politicians pointing to a role of the Mossad in targeting the Turkish company TAI. It was said that the attack on TAI was orchestrated by the Mossad and the CIA, and that Israel was responsible for the attack, which came after President Erdogan said that Israel was targeting Turkey after Lebanon and Gaza.
Turkish writer Ibrahim Karagul published a picture of the Turkish fighter jet produced by TAI and mentioned that the Mossad wanted to send a message to Turkey to stop this technology. The Turkish intelligence agency dealt a strong blow to the Mossad on August 30th last year when they arrested the financial network director of the Mossad in Turkey.
The arrestee, Ilirondo Reksepi, was proven through investigations to have been transferring money to field agents based on Mossad instructions. These agents were conducting aerial photography operations using drones to gather intelligence information related to Turkish defense companies. On October 25, the Turkish Anadolu Agency published an article by researcher Barak Elamali, saying that there were two goals for the terrorist attack on TAI: to undermine efforts to promote national unity in Turkey, and to weaken the Turkish defense industry strategically.
He affirmed that with the completion of the KAAN project, Turkey will join the elite group of countries capable of producing fifth-generation aircraft. This creates reactions towards Turkey from various foreign powers. TAI is considered one of the leading Turkish companies in its sector. It oversees several strategic projects, especially the fifth-generation national warplane project "KAAN". This will place Turkey among the few countries in the world capable of producing fighter jets according to Anadolu Agency.
According to CNN, the Turkish state-owned Turkish Aerospace Industries (TAI) has played a leading role in the global aerospace and aviation industry since its establishment in 1973. It is among the top 50 global companies in aviation and defense industries according to its website and Defense News.
