This is unpreceded in the Islamic World. Never before has a Muslim nation produced a state of the art manned supersonic advanced trainer/light attack aircraft before. Congratulations to the Turkic Nation and to Turkiye. Once again an immense source of pride for all of us.
By the looks of it, the TF-X shown might only be a ground test unit and the one currently in production will be the one flying.
@MADDOG, can you confirm?
This is not a Marketing stunt. This is the first test flight of a manned aircraft. A lot of risk is involved. You never paint the aircraft on a first test flight
