TR HÜRJET-Advanced Jet Trainer/ Light attack aircraft

[Yasar_TR]

Pilots of a 5th-6th gen naval carrier based fighter would go from land based Hürjet straight to the naval one, which would include training on some specific naval weapons and systems.

Personally I'm not a big fan of using Hürjet in combat, but an armed, naval Hürjet for advanced training is necessary.

Good idea. As a trainer definitely. But as a combat fighter it is quite a bit suspect. This plane is not going to hold its own against even a 4th generation plane. Never mind a 5th generation one.

In what scenario would we be using them against 4th gen fighter jets?
All our enemies are nearby.
I think a squadron could be valuable when ''touring'' Africa(Sudan,Somalia),they would be standby in case of rapid response..

Greece, Israel, Egypt, UAE all have top end 4th and 4.5th generation planes. France carries naval Rafale on their carrier.
Eastern med, Aegean, Libya and in Red Sea horn you would have to contend with the above mentioned countries’ airforces. Never forget, today’s friends can easily turn out to be tomorrow’s enemies. And of course vice versa.

You can team Hürjet with Kızılelma or Anka3, this 6th gen feature can make Hürjet a fearsome encounter for any opponent.

Both prototypes were in Erzurum for cold weather tests. Per AA, 3 aircraft per month is expected instead of the original 2.

Simple detail, both prototypes were in air. Wonder what's the latest sortie number for the program is. They were on flight 300 back on October 10.

There are now at "about 400" sorties. Flight tests are going spectacularly so far.

It definitely won't kinematically, but Hurjet will still have a very potent AESA radar and will be teamed up with KE, as well as AWACS drones from the carrier group. I think it makes sense in our usecase; at worst it will be used to command the drones. I think the first iteration we will see regardless be a land based fixed wing jet for the navy, to get them up to speed on high speed fixed wing aircraft. If F-35B comes in a decade or somehow Kaan finds its way to the navy, we will have the knowhow, the training regimens in place.

Hürjet LCA can be a good asset for nations who need it, Malaysia could use it.
I wonder what Malaysians are thinking about it nowadays.

More F/A-50s apparently.
