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.

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.

I have a separate question. I want to see the real Iron Bird of the hurjet. I found the graphic image, but I can't see the actual facility well.

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.

Other forums think it's like a full-scale static test facility.
Actually it is.

As technology advances, many more sensors can be placed on the fuselage than before, and so much data can be analyzed in a reasonable amount of time. In the past this was not possible. That's the main idea in Iron Bird.

Shown in this picture is only a small part of the facility.

BTW Erdogan Pasha claims that Erdogan will reveal a 3000 km BM and a new gas reserve plus Hurjet or MMU.

Source? He has been very vocal recently - I hope it is not politically motivated.
