I have a feeling , in the future we will convert all Hürjets into unmanned. they won't be outdated so investment will pay back much more. Who knows we might see pilot robots.?

Hope the engine contract is finalized soon for trainer version, though we were negotiating a deal like 100-200 engines right? So that may cover lca too. Then it would be great. Also does hürjet have in air refuel capability?Aselsan will deliver the first Hurjet AESA prototype to the TUSAŞ this year(probably at the end of this year). The target date for the delivery of the armed version aka Hurjet light fighter is 2027.

2027 date was already the original plan.Source
I am asking for the radar2027 date was already the original plan.
Well i have another source but for now for the sake of giving a source i think this should work.I am asking for the radar
One, and why do you think so? APU is not propulsionHow many APU’s there will be?
35KW seems low
one main apu and two valve for each engineHow many APU’s there will be?
35KW seems low
And still no supersonic flight. Maybe this first prototype is built to only test the subsonic envelope? In the documentary there were two prototypes being built, but we haven't seen the second one since.It had flown 43 times when they reported on Feb 24th. Now it's 50. 7 flights in 61 days. That's one flight every 9 days. Seems low to me.
Is there a target accumulated-flight-time before the delivery? And when will we see the the second prototype?
It depends on what they are doing in every flight, whether big chunks or small bits of envelope expansion is in question, production time being brought nearer says something.It had flown 43 times when they reported on Feb 24th.

I'm not sure if there's any envelope expansion. On Feb 24th, they said it flew up to 15.403 feet. Now the tweet of TAI says it reached 15k feet. So it didn't fly any higher in the last two months. We haven't seen any aggressive manoeuvre or sharp turns or anything. And there's no supersonic flight yet..It depends on what they are doing in every flight, whether big chunks or small bits of envelope expansion is in question, production time being brought nearer says something.
2000+ hours for an average civilian aircraft AFAIK.how many hours should a aircraft fly before its ready for duty ? 1000 hours ?
I should say expansion of planes capabilities in many respects. The plane has to handle everything to a safe degree before they can push it further. This is also the first manned jet the company is making so the pace of progress is acceptable if not fast, I should say.I'm not sure if there's any envelope expansion.
