Let's just say hayırlısı.

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.

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.

never Take Tusas at their word when its about delivery time/date. They will deliver but the date is the unknown parameter.

The first two HÜRKUŞ-II next-generation basic trainer aircraft, developed by Turkish Aerospace Industries (TUSAŞ) and having successfully completed their testing programme, have been transferred to the 2nd Main Jet Base Command in İzmir as part of their delivery to the Turkish Air Force.

Did you see @Sanchez 's post?

Also, here are few more sources for you:

This one with 15 Hürkuş deliveries in 2025:

HÜRKUŞ-II teslimatı 2025 yılında başlıyor

2025 yılında Türk Hava Kuvvetleri'ne 15 adet HÜRKUŞ-II temel eğitim uçağının teslim edilmesi hedeflenmekte.

www.defenceturk.net

This one with 10:

ANKA-3 ve HÜRKUŞ-2 projelerinde teslimat takvimi netleşiyor | SavunmaSanayiST

Mehmet Demiroğlu, ANKA-3 ve HÜRKUŞ-2 projelerinde testlerin sürdüğünü, teslimat hazırlıklarının ise planlandığı şekilde ilerlediğini söyledi.

www.savunmasanayist.com

I stand corrected, they said 15 first, then 10 and then delivered fuck all. Even if those two were "delivered" find me where the other 8 to 13 planes are.

Now, they are saying 22 will be delivered in 2026, half of which is gone and they once again delivered nothing.

What is Natiıonal Mission Planiing Software? What does it do on an F16?

 

[TR_123456]

What is Natiıonal Mission Planiing Software? What does it do on an F16?

National Mission Planning Software (NMPS) is a specialized military framework that translates strategic objectives into precise, flyable digital data for combat aircraft. For the F-16, it acts as the digital brain of the pre-flight sequence, creating comprehensive route, threat, and weapon deployment plans that are directly uploaded into the jet's avionics.

How it Works on an F-16
Before a pilot steps into the cockpit, the software automates and calculates several critical mission variables on the ground:

• Threat Avoidance: The software maps out hostile radar envelopes, surface-to-air missile (SAM) ranges, and anti-aircraft artillery (AAA) locations based on the latest intelligence, generating a route that maximizes survivability.
• Weapon Integration: It calculates exact weapon release parameters (e.g., altitude, speed, and dive angles) for the specific bombs, missiles, or targeting pods the F-16 is carrying on a given day.
• Navigation & Fuel Management: It plots the most efficient waypoints to and from the target, calculating highly precise fuel burn rates based on altitude, weather, and weight.
• Avionics Upload: Once the mission is finalized, the flight plan and threat data are stored on a memory device (such as the F-16's Data Transfer Cartridge). When inserted into the F-16, this data populates the pilot’s cockpit displays, Head-Up Display (HUD), and targeting computers

Upgrades and National Variants
Due to the complexity of modern warfare, air forces frequently update their mission planning systems. For instance, companies like Lockheed Martin routinely upgrade the F-16's Joint Mission Planning System. Meanwhile, countries operating customized F-16 fleets (like the Turkish Air Force) utilize proprietary, domestically built NMPS frameworks—such as those developed by HAVELSAN—to seamlessly integrate local, indigenous smart weapons and avionics into their existing jets
