TR HÜRJET-Advanced Jet Trainer/ Light attack aircraft

[Sanchez]

Production of four more Hürjet prototypes, which will be the first group of 12 ordered by the Turkish Air Force for training and light attack configurations, is ongoing."

With the order from Spain and the expectation of additional orders from the Turkish Air Force and the Turkish Navy, we have further accelerated our preparations for mass production. We are planning a mass production infrastructure that will produce 2-3 Hürjet/month

Hürjet will get 4 more production prototypes which will later be transferred to air force. TurAF order is still for 12 aircraft per Demiroğlu, not 4+12.

It seems like TN is finally getting the dedicated Naval Fighter, and they need Hürjet trainer for the Naval training school.

As in a proper 5th gen fighter?

 

[Saithan]

I think he means Navalized combat jet, and not necessarily 5th gen.

Everyone involved in that decision is fucking moron then, throwing money, resources and lives away at a vanity project. If we ever go to war and use that carrier, those jets will be hunted down like ducks while barely being able to carry out a meaningful sortie efficiency.

How many Navalized jets do we have ? How many years experience of take og and landing on a carrier.

So I don't think it's bad to get started anywhere.

Not necessarily at 5th gen

Pilots of a 5th-6th gen naval carrier based fighter would go from land based Hürjet straight to the naval one, which would include training on some specific naval weapons and systems.

Personally I'm not a big fan of using Hürjet in combat, but an armed, naval Hürjet for advanced training is necessary.

I am perfectly okay with it as a naval trainer, but using it in as fighter jet on an aircraft carrier is a terrible choice right now and it is only going to become an even worse decision as time passes. Making all the necessary changes so that it can take off and land from a carrier is great, but trying to turn a trainer, which we don't even have an engine project for let alone an actual engine, into the main fighter for a carrier makes zero sense. One block to engine sales and you have a very expensive paperweight and it is far easier to get engines for a trainer than combat aircraft.

Good idea. As a trainer definitely. But as a combat fighter it is quite a bit suspect. This plane is not going to hold its own against even a 4th generation plane. Never mind a 5th generation one.

In what scenario would we be using them against 4th gen fighter jets?
All our enemies are nearby.
I think a squadron could be valuable when ''touring'' Africa(Sudan,Somalia),they would be standby in case of rapid response..

Greece, Israel, Egypt, UAE all have top end 4th and 4.5th generation planes. France carries naval Rafale on their carrier.
Eastern med, Aegean, Libya and in Red Sea horn you would have to contend with the above mentioned countries’ airforces. Never forget, today’s friends can easily turn out to be tomorrow’s enemies. And of course vice versa.

You can team Hürjet with Kızılelma or Anka3, this 6th gen feature can make Hürjet a fearsome encounter for any opponent.

Both prototypes were in Erzurum for cold weather tests. Per AA, 3 aircraft per month is expected instead of the original 2.

Simple detail, both prototypes were in air. Wonder what's the latest sortie number for the program is. They were on flight 300 back on October 10.

There are now at "about 400" sorties. Flight tests are going spectacularly so far.

It definitely won't kinematically, but Hurjet will still have a very potent AESA radar and will be teamed up with KE, as well as AWACS drones from the carrier group. I think it makes sense in our usecase; at worst it will be used to command the drones. I think the first iteration we will see regardless be a land based fixed wing jet for the navy, to get them up to speed on high speed fixed wing aircraft. If F-35B comes in a decade or somehow Kaan finds its way to the navy, we will have the knowhow, the training regimens in place.

Hürjet LCA can be a good asset for nations who need it, Malaysia could use it.
I wonder what Malaysians are thinking about it nowadays.

More F/A-50s apparently.

HÜRJET has reportedly successfully completed system and flight capability performance tests in Erzurum under harsh winter conditions and at -21 degrees Celsius.

Always hilarious to me whenever I see mainly americans call this bird weird looking. Probably the best looking trainer/lca in the world right now.

Can't wait for it to reach its full potential in a couple years. I think Hürjet will sell like hot chocolate on a very cold winters day

I bet they would wait a few years longer if they knew it would be favoured over others going forward. While also Malaysians are allegedly not really getting any offsets in their deal. Therefore it makes a difference when you have something to show for what you are building ASAP, which applies for Kaan too and it worked there.

It is beautiful, but I think they may be referring to its top view.
The rear part of the fuselage looks very straight. Maybe that's it.

Personally, as I may have stated before, I'm in love with it.
