Firstly let us calm down a bit.
In the western world, there are only 2 active supersonic trainer aircraft brands; T-38 Talon and KAI-T50
Since T-38 is more or less obsolete, the playing field is open to KAI-T50 at the moment.
Considering the very fact that most modern airforces are aspiring to add supersonic 5th generation aircrafts in to their inventory and will be needing supersonic trainers to prepare their pilots, it is rather a weak argument to say that KAI-T50 is enough for the market needs.
So, for Mr Demiroglu, to state that there is a significant gap in modern trainer requirement is not wrong.
Given that KAI has an early start gives them a distinct advantage with T50 plane. But if Tusas can start building serially produced planes soon, it will bring Hurjet in to the race as well.
