Then why do fighter pilots train with light jets instead of real fighters in their squadrons?
I am sure next gen jet trainers will be stealth.
To lower the costs and to mainly give them a platform that is more forgiving than high performance combat aircraft.

Hürjet and T-7 are next gen trainers. There's no realistic reason to make a trainer jet harder to control, which is what you will achieve with a stealthy body design.

Because trainers are designed for that purpose, to train with. An F-16 isn't, nor is Kaan. Making a trainer stealthy is just a waste of resources.
Another thought. With the Hürjet becoming active and replacing the ancient T-38s, and with Hürjet being much closer in feel, performance and avionics to F-16 and Kaan, could we maybe cut the number of F-16Ds used for conversion training? And put them through a Sufa like mod package through Özgür-3 to make them deep strike and SEAD monsters? Just a nice thought...

if or When Hürjet as a light attack aircraft happens ''under normal circumtances'' what comes with Hürjet will be modern avionics + AESA radar + wvR missiles+ BVR missiles + almost all Turkish Air to ground ammunitions.... HGK+KGK+minature bomb + even possibly SOM J + ÇAKIR+ KUZGUN.... in export markets HÜRJET is an attractive plane yet a full package HÜRJET is a flash royal in it's class. sometimes it is not just the plane but what comes with it....

and yes ENGINE
Damn be realistic man we are talking about a light attack aircraft please make some sense

Really why do air forces still need a trainer jet since most of forum members decided there is no place for manned aircrafts?

BTW f-35/f-22 without trained pilots aren't factory stealth.



I have met a lot of clever members for 10 years."he who laughs last laughs longest"

EDIT: peace ✌🏻

Don’t take things personal bro it is late and people may act a bit different in Internet forms… I don’t think anyone has any bad intention. On subject may be instead of a stealth trainer a trainer which may simulate the basics of jet flight and a stealth mission is more economical….and for your young pilots instead of a delicate stealth trainer a kind of work horse and easy to fly trainer is a wiser choice sure this is my opinion

How much does stealth fuselage increase cost of Trainer jet? I am not talking about B2's material, i mean, cost of enter level of low RCS material.
