ASELSAN signed a deal to export CATS to Ukraine for use in mi8 helicopters
Hurjet will be new hot thing for exports by TDI, hope that once all tests and procedures are conducted that there will be sufficient production capacities also ready .Malaysian LCA Tender requirements:
- 8 aircraft advanced jet trainer
- 10 aircraft combat aircraft with nose radar and BVR
- Supersonic speed
- BVR capability
- %30 local production
- Cost: 4 billion RM- 2 billion RM will ve paid via oil product trade
- Schedule: 35 months after the contract
Contenders:
- Russia Mig-35: Expensive chioce, costly maintenance. Malaysia had cancelled the similar tender in 2018 due to lack of funds.
- India LCA: Rumoured that Mk1 has a unit cost around 60 million $. Indian and Russian solutions met the Malaysian requirements but both are expensive solutions. Since Malaysia wants to pay the half of the money via oil trade, The costs become more important in this tender.
- Turkey Hürjet: Hürjet met all requirements of Malaysian LCA tender on paper (supersonic speeds, BVR, nose radar, combat missions, trainer aircraft) but the aircraft is in prototype production phase so TAI wants Malaysia to participate the production. In fact Signature+36 months: end of 2025 and This date matchs with Hurjet development schedule and so I believe Hürjet is the strongest candidate in this tender
- China L15: This aircraft is supersonic. Armed variant is for combat missions and this aircraft is using AI-222 turbofan. The US could put pressure on Ukraine and hinder the sale of engines as they did in past and this may frighten the customer but aircraft is a strong candidate in Malaysian tender.
- Korea F50: This aircraft among all is very strong candidate but F50 has neither nose radar nor the ability to launch a BVR missile. Korea is selling the T50 as a combat variant for air-ground missions.
- Italy M346: this aircraft can barely reach supersonic speeds and was not developed for the BVR mission. It may be an excellent jet trainer, but it remains a simple competitor in the armed version, considering Malaysian demands.

that should not be questionable at all, they will be and you should put it in equation without any doubts. which is rather disadvantage for the wholesome project.Only if the US does not become adversed to Turkey or to the potential export countries. Why we don't learn from our past mistakes regarding critical parts (propulsion) I don't understand, the only thing that makes sense to me is that there are masochists in the Defence sector.
Twin engined Hurjet would give Turkey so much more options... Ahwell - still my favourite project nonetheless.
The needs are unlimited but the resources are limited.Why we don't learn from our past mistakes regarding critical parts (propulsion) I don't understand, the only thing that makes sense to me is that there are masochists in the Defence sector.
