Turkey plans to have its local-made fighter jet ready for flight in the next five to six years, President Tayyip Erdoğan said on Tuesday, amid an ongoing dispute with the United States over the purchase of F-35 jets.

Erdoğan also said Turkey would invest in a facility that would allow the charging and filling of the detonators produced by F-16s and armed unmanned aerial vehicles, or drones.
