HÜRKUŞ-II, in the colors of the Turkish Air Force, at the EFES 2026 exercise. Only a few days remain until it enters the inventory.

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.

This week's weekly presser by MSB was done at Çiğli, where Hürkuş were supposedly sent last year. No mention of it in the presser and they instead showed a KT-1 as a backdrop. Failure of a program honestly.

MSB Haftalık Basın Bilgilendirme Toplantısını İzmir Çiğli’deki 2’nci Ana Jet Üs Komutanlığında Gerçekleştirdi

Millî Savunma Bakanlığı Haftalık Basın Bilgilendirme Toplantısı, Basın ve Halkla İlişkiler Müşaviri ve Bakanlık Sözcüsü Tuğamiral Zeki Aktürk tarafından Hava Kuvvetleri Komutanlığının 115’inci kuruluş

Remember when they were deliver 3 before 2025 ended? We're in the middle of 2026 and even those 3 haven't been delivered yet.
