Hakan Fidan’s remarks in the UShad become thefocal point of major debates regarding Turkey’s defense industry projects. Fidan had said, "KAAN will not be able tostart production until the US Congress approves the engine license." The fact that the engine for the KAAN project, which is promoted as domestic and national, is being sourced from the US had sparked a new debate regarding Turkey's foreign dependency. President Erdoğan had also been asked about this issue several times, but no clear answer was obtained. This situation had cast uncertainty over the production process of KAAN.Following Fidan's remarks, the issue of KAAN and engine procurement returned to the agenda.
