AKSUNGUR SİHA Flight During Minister Soylu's Traffic Point Examination

Interior Minister Süleyman Soylu made examinations at Kahramankazan box office in Ankara, at the point of application of traffic. During the investigations of Minister Soylu, the flight of AKSUNGUR SİHA did not go unnoticed.

The delivery of AKSUNGUR SİHA, which is expected to be delivered to the security forces in the beginning of 2020, has not been delivered yet.
