There's no way to know this. It's not even clear if the system is physically in Morocco. We all saw the export news in 2021 but until this year, MİT was very hush hush about the whole complex. I'm not buying it until I see the system deployed in Morocco.
AFAIK, not for the trainer role. I'm thinking this is the HvKK giving an olive branch to TAI, to not repeat the Hürkuş blunder. 4 production variants for testing and 12 options to replace the 12 NF-5s of Turkish Stars. I think that 12 number is just that. No mention for the trainer role, yet.
It seems to be heading this way. T925 is not possible for frigates. Unless we get more Seahawks, it'll be T625 for the navy. Ant it will have to be a specialized version as well.
Specialized naval helis are damn expensive and are very complex. It'll be a hard task.

Gendarme's 20 T625s will come equipped with MWS, flare launchers, search light and door winch. Some will be equipped with AselFLIR-R400D. First 3 will be designated as T625J EDH and will be 250kgs heavier. Some issues with miniaturizing components? Maybe that's the reason for the delay...
Unlike in the VLS ones, ESSMs on Mk 29s that are used on US amphibs and carriers are not quadpacked. Mk29 only carries 8 ESSMs. Tho it being a neater packaging, nothing below the deck, is a good selling point. US doesn't like VLS on its carriers.
I really doubt Azerbaijan will be a user of Hürjet while it still uses the F404.
20 test flights is a lovely number. Talk of export is nice as well. What would be more great is if it was actually ordered for the trainer role by HvKK.
Adding the radar on top of the rotor on T129 requires a complete remodeling of the shaft and the rotor assembly. Costs probably outweigh the benefits for such a mature platform.
Iraq is even more cumbersome than Syria on the ground. Let's watch for a few days first. KDP buffer is fine and dandy but either we pull the non Iranian aligned Shias to us as well(or to be more neutral) or keep doing this back and forth for another decade.
Changing the topic from missile production, per Hisar for KKK, do anyone know what are the latest numbers to be procured or already procured for Hisar A and O?
Ex FM is now in Turkey.
Israeli twitter is going livid, lambasting Cohen for making the non official meeting public, calling it a "farce"
Stein however says it was very much coordinated with the Libyan government and Mangoush didn't go out of her way for the meet. That it wasn't a small non...
