Obviously it is not the Turkish Hürjet but still if the American trainer does not happen Turkish trainer can happen to America.

That's what I meant by "worked with TAI almost 10 years ago", there is nothing to indicate that this proposal has anything to do with Hürjet or TAI, or, we get anything out of it whatsoever. It is completely unrelated on the face of it.

SNC originally began development of the Freedom design in cooperation with Turkish Aerospace Industries (TAI, and also abbreviated TUSAS in Turkish), but has been working on it independently for some years now.

The unique offspring of the skies, HÜRJET, has successfully passed another strategic milestone in its certification journey. ✈️🇹🇷

The Design Organization Approval (DOA) and Production Organization Approval (POA) certificates signify the registration of our national aviation vision at international standards.

Aircraft will be built by TAI in Turkey and modified by Airbus in Spain. Deliveries will start in 2028 with first units being ready for 2029-30 training period.


Signing of final agreement for export to Spain is expected in end of September or in October.
30+ Hürjets will be exported.
There will be three phases.
First phase is that TAI will build like 15-20 Hürjets without any changes to avionics (turkish avionics).
Second phase will be that the rest will be build with spanish avionics (i think he means too that the planes will be build in spain).
Last phase is that the previously build Hürjets, from the first phase, will get spanish avionics too.

Interview with TAI CEO.

30+ Hürjets will be exported.
There will be three phases.

At like 6:00 min

Spanish document mentions aircraft being built in Turkey and then being modified to Spanish needs, rather than different blocks having different equipment.

One thing I like is that 45 number probably means Spanish acroteam Patrulla Aguila will be returning with Hürjets. They were finally retired after 40 years last June. Original mentioned number was up to 55 aircraft.
-
"The 45 Hürjets, although mentioned for the first time, coincide with what was discussed in the AFJT. As we already published in @AvionRevueInt, this figure is in line with the requirements of ALA23, GRUEMA, ÁGUILA, and CLAEX, with Ala 23 surely also carrying out OPFOR missions in TLP and other exercises. AFJT 2.0. "

ALA23 is Spanish Air Force's main LIFT wing(like 121 Arı), majority would go there. GRUEMA is another training squadron, also acting like a reserve squadron. Aguila is the acroteam, while the CLAEX is the weapons and training test squadron, bit similar to our 401.
