But that doesn't mean navy is willing to mutilate Anadolu just to accommodate KE.You can see arresting wires on Baykars presentation on MIUS operations on TCG Anadolu.

Those cost a billion dolars a piece iirc.We can build 2-4 Sejong the Great-class destroyer level ship
Isn't that estimated cost of TF2000?Those cost a billion dolars a piece iirc.
Pretty sure Turkey will have 1st priority for the hurjet meaning by the time Ukraine even gets an order(assuming turkey wants to give it for free) the su-75s will get produced and let me give you a little hint. Atleast the turks are not like the French calling a 4th gen plus aircraft 5th plus for slapping new avionics and missiles on it.If we want , we can make Hürjet unmanned in six months because it has an autopilot feature.
( So why don't you want? )
I really wonder if Hürjet is a heavily base/hangar dependent aircraft.
Also i would love to see Hürjet landing and taking off Highways.
İn Ukrainian war , Drones are in everywhere, drones attack Russian airbases and destroying Russian fighters. Russians can't hide their fighters.
İf Hürjet were like Gripens, you could maintain the aircraft in everywhere.
When you put it like that, it makes sense. Do you think we will see a similar approach with Hürjet and if they do it, Hürkuş-2?We might still see major differences as time goes on though. We have now entered a stage in which development will never stop. There will be no "design freeze"

They've expanded the envelope enough to allow this. TAI would've brought the aircraft to TEKNOFEST if they were overconfident. Thankfully they're not.Any update on the 2nd prototype. When will we see it flying?
Also, is doing these kind of things with the 1st prototype normal? I guess TAI has a lot of confidence in the prototype.

No? I would suggest that it does. If a company is willing to interrupt the flight test campaign of a platform for the sake of an aerospace festival, then it would be fitting to suggest that there is in fact an excess amount of confidence among other sub-clauses.Has nothing to do with confidence, TAI is conducting test flights and did not interupt the tests for Teknofest.
16th or 17th testflight was conducted during Teknofest was going on.
When did I ever say TAI did something wrong?And what exactly is wrong with aviation safety? TAI was present at the Teknofest, just did not bring the Hurjet that had her planned test procedures. Do you have any idea how much it costs to break of test procedures, cancel activities of the personnel involved etc. etc.
And for what? To show it on Teknofest, while a mockup is stalled there? I think TAI did the right thing, concentrate on what is really important.

As someone who has been deeply involved with TAI, yes. I'm well aware.Do you have any idea how much it costs to break of test procedures, cancel activities of the personnel involved etc. etc.
HÜRJET, Turkey's first jet-powered military aircraft, has made 20 flights so far.• HÜRJET Chief Test Pilot Ercan Çelik:
• It's really exciting to take such an acrothym on your arm and fly it. It is a great honor and privilege to have done this with HÜRJET. We have successfully performed this and HÜRJET has never been a stranger among Turkish Stars. "We showed good leadership."
• We have seen the sensitivity of the Flight Control System and that HURJET can control the 6 planes in the arm in a way that will not distract. One of HÜRJET's future missions, perhaps the best one, will be with the Turkish Stars."
