I'll only believe it when I see it, they've been talking big all last year.

That being said, I still think Hürkuş would make a great CAS plane for Jandarma Özel Harekat. It is easier to train pilots for it, with Roketsan's new mini cruise missile, UAV-230, Tolun, or extended range Umtas it would be a monstrous help in operations, especially if it can also take off from unprepared strips. It can attack from stand off range which is borderline unprecedented for this type of plane. And, it can help against drones like Shaheds with Eren, Sungur or Cirit pods.

I really don't like the livery. But one thing people are missing on this is the reg. 25-04. This aircraft was already incurred into service last year, probably as a preliminary registry, but still.
