TR F-16 Özgür | Hürkuş - Fighter Trainer Aircraft Projects

[LordAragon]

Ismail Demir: The plane accompanying HÜRJET on the first flight was ÖZGÜR Blok 30. While HÜRJET was flying, there was something 'new'... ÖZGÜR was flying beside it.”

How is the development of Aselsan's Aesa radar for the ozgur project going on? If I'm not mistaken it should've been delivered in 2022 right?

The latest info we got is that the radar was integrated to AKINCI and in flight testing.

"It is our turn. After @TUSAS_TR and @BaykarTech, we are on the tracks. We are the first civilian aircraft produced entirely in Türkiye in accordance with the certification. TROY T200, which has the top features of its class, plans to blow the dust off the track."

I'm glad they took a step towards this.I wish it could happen earlier but it's better then nothing

That's P&W's flying testbed (a modified B747 SP).

Test-bed for what? Radar or engine?

Test-bed for what? Radar or engine?

For BÜRFİS most likely. So yes, AESA.

My day was made. Thank you, finally.

Imagining an A330 or a 767(a type TK is not experienced in but Turkish technic does maintain foreign customers), you can load engines, radars, any EO and avionics you can think of. Something smaller, and you might have issues with stability and lack of space under the wings for testing engines. If for avionics(+radar) alone, a 734 or an old 738 would do enough. Uglier the better.

Apart from Turkish Technic, we have lots of experienced 767 technicians in Turkiye due to almost all of the Russian charter companies maintains their aircraft in here(They are using Antalya as a defacto base) and lots of them uses 767's. If there is a need, finding very experienced 767 technicians in Turkiye won't be a problem.

Same goes for 757 as well.

Where's HURKUS-II ?

Also, Hava-SOJ looks to be in the same state as it was 2 years ago. No external sensors added as of Today..

They developed a new drone and kept it under wraps for some time ?

what is its role ? Recon ?

what is its role ? Recon ?

Our common assumption is that it will have flexible payload capability. It can be for jamming purposes, it can create the front wave as a mock fighter with various reflectors and electronic systems, or it can be the new face of direct SEAD/DEAD missions with its warhead, or even offer deep attack capability against strategic platforms such as AWACS. Subsystem specialisation for each of these missions is ready, what was missing was the platform.

For the moment, it seems that this drone is being developed as a system that can be launched from the air by platforms such as KAAN and ANKA-3, but I think that in the long term, systems that can launch these systems quickly and in large numbers from the ground vehicles/ conteiner-like carriers will come.

One thing that is missing from many discussions in media is how to best use these platforms
Not just making drones but developing a doctrine and strategy on their effective use, the results of which are visible.
Imo what Azerbaijan achieved in 2020 is unique (co-ordination of unmanned assets with artillery infantry and armour against a peer opponent in a conventional war).
These strategies are unsung heroes.

You answered your own question.

I dont know if this was posted, but all existing Hürküs trainers have been sold. Libya will apparently buy some of them too. Kotil once said that they cost 50m € per piece but I dont think that this was the final price. Still great success to empty the inventory of planes that TAF apparently didnt take or want. Instead a new order for Hürküs 2 has been placed by our forces.

Bomba haber: TUSAŞ'ta HÜRKUŞ kalmadı | SavunmaSanayiST

Türk Havacılık ve Uzay Sanayii (TUSAŞ)'nin elinde HÜRKUŞ Uçağı kalmadı. TUSAŞ, elinde bulunan bütün HÜRKUŞ platformlarını, çeşitli ülkelere ihraç etti.
