Poor translation. Only V/UHF radio delivery is completed.
Regarding BUHSET development studies were carried out. It is another miss translation.

SF-260 crash in Kayseri. Presumably both pilots are dead, from how the aircraft looks.
Edit. 2 pilots confirmed dead.

May God have mercy on them, my sincere condolences.
Hava soj will not be effective against adaptive radars.Adaptive radar can change electromagnetic spectrum if it is jammed,you should analyse new signals during flight and make it jamming accordingly,BAE is working on this.We are too late on production of hava soj but industry does not wait for you.We choose the right firm for new F16 vipers ew suit which has cognitive EW countermeasures.It will increase the survival rate of the fighters,but its not enough due to low power of system,can not replace hava soj duty,also new generation of AA missiles including our göktuğ missies can lock on jammer source,so we have to get disposible ew jammers and/or towed ones.I do not think our vipers will have it may be Kaan got it I hope.

Rest in Peace
To me it's strange that there are two Colonel in that type of aircraft. Or is it normal?

Time to retire these good old trainers.
Are these planes equivalent to the Hurkus?

I believe that the plan was to replace them with the Hürkus, however, the initial Hürkus hadn't met the standards of the TSK, hence the decision to commence with the Hürkus II project. The latter is supposed to get the expected orders to be placed.
In fact, I believe orders were already placed iirc.
Do you know why it didn't meet their standards?
The plane is doing well in serving foreign air forces, so it is strange that the Turkish Air Force didn't go for it.

I don't know the specifics and these usually won't be published unless way later, but everything indicates that.
That doesn't mean that it was a bad aircraft but TSK is one of the most demanding customers in the words of the former SSM (now SSB) secretary Murat Bayar.
The original Hürkus was sold to a couple of African countries with limited defence budgets in very small quantities. They must have been a good match to both requirements and budgets of said customers.
The overall sentiment I see around is that it's a good, high performance plane but not best at being a trainer, maybe a bit difficult to operate for a beginner.

SF-260 is a basic trainer, while Hürkuş can be considered an advanced trainer and can also be employed on Lead in Fighter Training(LIFT). Hürkuş is closer to an F-16 than SF-260.

I believe we ordered Super Mushaks from Pakistan to replace those SF-260.
Deliveries of Super Mushshak trainer aircraft to Turkish Air Force commence | Shephard
The Turkish Air Force has taken delivery of the first three of 52 Super Mushshak trainer aircraft ordered under a 2017 contract with Pakistan following delays imposed by the COVID-19 pandemic.
