    TR HÜRJET-Advanced Jet Trainer/ Light attack aircraft

    Which one? I don't really see a engine pod side placement for Aselpod, like we have it on F-16s. Though it would be nice for the later fighter variant if that route is trodden. FA-50s for example carry their Snipers on the center pylon. Like the EF :rolleyes:

    It already had LAU-129s on the wingtips, so we can argue that it was already the "armed" version. I think a bigger surprise here are the cameras watching the wing pylons. We might see a drop test soon.

    Indeed. And years passed, no movement on T629. There's probably no interest from anyone for a T129 sized attack helicopter with a proprietary unproven engine. It really shouldn't be, their 412s are nearing 30 years old. They will get 6 625s in the first batch. I'm really interested in seeing...

    I'm pretty sure the upgraded range is due to a CLU upgrade rather than anything regarding the missile. Javelin was the same. - finally we got to see it in an exercise.

    Same spotters can also make out the difference of the sound of F404s, F110s or RRs on G6000s. Rest simply doesn't happen. Photographing an aircraft flying outside of any government owned land or landmark simply is not a crime, yet at least.

    Indeed. A003 is the second prototype. Those are not Hurjet numbers but TAI numbers. A007 for example was a Hürkuş prototype. A001 was the first Hürjet prototype, later dubbed 24-001 as it was the first aircraft HvKK incurred in that year; which was a workaround to allow the aircraft to fly...

    Not "will be signed" but it's claimed. It'd a be a great boon for the program; let's see. Roketsan or a subsidiary could produce them in bulk to help Euro production for Euro and Ukrainian needs, while also getting them into Siper. We simply do not have an ABM capability, and this would be a...

    We do have spotters online that do track those flights. Usually not supported by videos because they are patriotic kids, but we hear about most flights. Tricky subject, it's open space. Everyone has a right to photograph open space.

    By doing this, you're also however also increasing costs related to procurement, service and maintenance, lowering the export chances. A "light fighter" is many things to many people. If there is no interest from the air force for the LCA variant while navy is asking for a navalized combat...

    Air Force chief visited Portugal, was also briefed on a Portuguese KC-390. Portugal was the first export user of the type and the Embraer majority held OGMA is part of its production. Probably too early to talk about anything, but nice to see...

    Vuran has been such a great stopgap solution for the mechanized units. It's nowhere near enough, but its availability was a godsend. Nearly all of them are equipped with jammers and a RCWS. This was done against insurgent threats, but what's old is new and jammers are great against FPVs, while...

    No, they are retiring their old F-18C/D Hornets to replace them with F-35s; they never operated the F-18E/F. This was always their plan since 2000s.
