These are from very very early production
MMU's assembly line is more automated and modern. Everything went faster in general, not to mention the more experienced team doing most of the work. Hürjet's assembly line is more traditional. The team in the first shot is trying to fix an issue (it's evident as they're complaining), such issues weren't as prominent with the TF-X. I'm very pleased that TAI invested in new equipment and actually built a hangar for the TF-X.
Ofcourse it has, not everything must be stealthy, some people even think the F-16 are obsolete but anything can be upgraded to latest tech, just need the platform now so Hürjet is just as important as MMU.View attachment 51829
An armed twin engine Hürjet with two TF10000 engines equipped with downscaled Murad AESA, Göktug AAM, Aselpod as well as various A2G armaments.
I think it would be a big hit export wise especially with smaller and/or poorer countries.
And would rid us of dependecy on the US for engines (F404).
In the future if interest exists a naval version with upgraded engines (TF17000-20000?) could be developed for TN to be used on a Light AC...
Just saying I think Hürjet has more potenial then most people realize. I hope TAI thinks the same.
Also the picture is old before some get the wrong ideas.
TUSAŞ is in desperate need of proper PR.
They probably have too many boomers in that position.TUSAŞ is in desperate need of proper PR.
I think it's a nice picture, but I don't think that's Iron Bird. Other forums think it's like a full-scale static test facility.

What happened to the mockup?Referring to the mock-up?
EDIT: The old mock-up that endured terrible pain RIP
BTW Erdogan Pasha claims that Erdogan will reveal a 3000 km BM and a new gas reserve plus Hurjet or MMU.
