TR HÜRJET-Advanced Jet Trainer/ Light attack aircraft

the fact that it was published on the official gazette

Eh, I wouldn't put too much stock on that mate, none of our entities or officials are above exaggerating stuff, or photoshopping an event that happened in this case, even if something did happen.

I agree with officials' statements being the case for that but gazettes are usually made for internal consumption and for sector professionals.

Unsure if this is a CG doctored image or a genuine photo. Hürjet near the mach barrier. From TAI gazette 139.

Each aircraft has it's own unique shockwave "cone" depending on their airframe design and can appear on non-cloudy weathers.

Shape of the cone in the given photo is looking like F-18's:

High similarity between the cone shapes of those 2 aircraft creates towards me to the thought of editing. On the other hand, it may be reasoned by a possibility of two aircrafts creating similar shockwaves. However, I've never seen 2 different aircrafts sharing such similar shockwave prints.

It simply looks edited, but there's no way to be certain from a single 480p photo, so I'll refrain from a direct comment one way or the other. It was already announced it passed its supersonic speed test, we just don't know if there's a photo of it.

Air Force Commander Air General Ziya Cemal Kadıoğlu and Spanish Air and Space Forces Commander General Francisco Braco Carbo flew with HÜRJET Prototype-1 and Prototype-2.
The fact that the air force commanders of the two countries took off with the planes that are still in the testing phase is very important in terms of demonstrating the trust in Turkish Aerospace Industries and Turkish engineers .

El HÜRJET despegó con el general español

Memorandum of Understanding was signed for HÜRJET​

Turkey and Spain signed a Memorandum of Understanding for the HÜRJET Training Aircraft Project in December 2024. President of Defense Industries Prof. Dr. Haluk Görgün, in a statement on his social media account, emphasized Turkey's goal of independence in the defense industry and cooperation with allied countries.

Hürjet with the new camo looks like a real fighter aircraft. Would buy.

I can't believe they still haven't realised they should cut the generic inspirational music no.24 as the jets are taking off, who the hell wants to hear that over the sound of the engines?

General Carbó sounds quite satisfied.

The JEMA flies on the Turkish training plane Hürjet

From the Air and Space Force you can see the training plane 'Hürjet' well positioned to replace the Northrop/CASA (today Airbus) F-5M, which operates the Hunting and Attack School in Talavera la Real.

The Chief of Staff of the Air and Space Force, Air General Francisco Braco Carbó, has flown with the head of the Turkish Air Force, General Ziya Cemal Kadıoğlu, in two Hürjets, during his visit to TAI (Turkish Aerospace Industries), Turkey's technological center for the design, development, manufacture and integration of aerospace systems. "It is a reliable aircraft, with good acceleration and prepared (*designed) to transition to a fifth-generation aircraft," JEMA said at the end of the flight.

From the Air and Space Force - following its roadmap in search of opportunities to continue with the modernization and replacement of capacities - the Hürjet training aircraft is well positioned to replace the Northrop / CASA F-5M, operated by the Hunting (*fighter) and Attack School in Talavera la Real (Badajoz). "The TAI company has many interesting aspects to establish a possible cooperation with the national industry," said Air General Braco.

The search for a replacement for the F5 represents for the Air and Space Force one more step towards the design of the aerospace force of the second half of the 21st century. A force of profound transformations to adapt to the environment and new operational requirements. Likewise, the complexity of the missions carried out in the aerospace field and the demand of current scenarios require training as realistic as possible, with the consequent demand for resources.
