March 18 is the national day of remembrance of martyrs. It is dedicated to the victory at Gelibolu. With the terrible disaster that took place in our country on February 6, the wound in our hearts is deeper and this will come to the fore in the organizations that will take place on this day. So we should not expect big light shows and so on.
There was even serious talk of canceling the roll-out ceremony,after the earthquake disaster. However, this project, or rather the MMU program, which is a complex of projects, is the result of years of work and struggle of tens of thousands of people, from TAI to Havelsan, from SSB to ministry. This needs to be crowned. It is a project that has been ahead of schedule for the last 5 years and therefore a great success that has exceeded our expectations.
When the date of March 18, 2023 was set 3 years ago, neither the election date was set nor were we aware that this earthquake disaster would happen. It is not even funny anymore that some idiots are still writing posts linking it to the election or the aftermath of the earthquake disaster, as if they had spoken to Erdogan. The same idiots wrote similar things when the first flight date of TFX was brought forward. The problem is that they ignored the fact that the targeted first flight date was 5-6 months after the elections. Erdo does not set the MMU project schedule. Since 2011, the project has been officially underway, and after 12 years, we are at the rollout point. And about a year away from the first flight. This is the situation.
