The project that laid the foundations of the Hava SOJ project was the MILKAR 2U project. The aircraft with tail number 69-036 that we saw in the 2019 Anatolian Eagle Exercise is one of the two C-160Ds equipped with the MILKAR 2U RF Jamming System. The aircraft, which blinds enemy radars thanks to the equipment inside, forms the basis of the Air SOJ project. C-160 Milkar 2U aircraft increased the security of our air elements by blinding the air defense systems of the Syrian Air Defense Forces in the Spring Shield Operation and played an important role in destroying the Pantsir air defense system of the Syrian Air Defense Forces.

So probably it will affect some of the capability of the Airforce till Havasoj is delivered.
Glad that pilots are not harmed. However a sad moment for the bird.
