The Sultan of Brunei, Haji Hassanal Bolkiah, visited TAI.

Another T-70 undergoing testing.

All of this depends on the Navy and what they want. What tactics they are trying to employ etc. We can't know for sure. Let's perhaps wait for the unveiling of Hürkuş-2 first. Only then might we get an idea or two.

Let us wait until the Navy properly materialises their needs. Too early to speak for now.

Aksungur assembly

It has been a while since Hürkuş-2 passed through the CDR phase. And I don't think they had any LHD's in mind when designing her.

I too was being sarcastic about the naval Hürkuş proposal. TAI Hürkuş was not accepted by TurAF due to a variety of reasons. I'm bummed as well. But there are more details available. TAI learned from their past mistakes thanks to this program, and those mistakes have certainly delayed the...

TAI is focusing on Hürkuş-2 at the moment.

The rollout date has been postponed due to the earthquake. The program isn't delayed.

So RIP to the DSI then. Also that mid fuselage reminds me of Tejas. It's highly unlikely that we are seeing parts of AMCA here...

The contracts for the Detail Design and Clarification Phase, which is planned to be completed by the last quarter of 2028, are expected to be signed at the DSEI 2023 fair to be held in England in September, when the CDR process of the Block 10 aircraft will be completed. It is anticipated that...

From a recent contract handover

Excitement levels for Anka-3? "I saw it up close. It's really ugly, quite scary but also fascinating."
