The meeting was chaired by President Recep Tayyip Erdo\u011fan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Turkish Aerospace Industries, which makes the aircraft, did not disclose how many would be produced under the first serial production plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The armed trainer Hurjet is a jet engine version of the turboprop Hurkus. TAI launched the Hurjet program in 2018, with an original target of having the aircraft\u2019s maiden flight in 2022. The company is planning Hurkus\u2019 maiden flight in 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Turkish procurement officials think that once the Hurjet has become combat-proven through its use by the Turkish military, export prospects will flourish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cOngoing negotiations [for exports] have been a booster in formalizing the government\u2019s intention to start serial production,\u201d a procurement official said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Late last year, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/air\/2021\/11\/19\/niger-becomes-first-foreign-customer-of-turkeys-hurkus-aircraft\/\" target=\"_blank\">Niger became the first foreign customer of the Hurkus<\/a>. Turkey\u2019s Caucasus ally <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/air\/2021\/12\/07\/turkey-hints-at-potential-hurkus-aircraft-sale-to-azerbaijan\/\" target=\"_blank\">Azerbaijan will likely become the second foreign customer<\/a>. In December, a Hurkus underwent a flight test in Azerbaijan, according to Turkey\u2019s ambassador to Baku, Cahit Ba\u011fc\u0131. Azerbaijan\u2019s Air Force commander, Lt. Gen. Ramiz Tahirov, was present for the event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Also in December, TAI made a presentation in Qatar\u2019s capital Doha to sell the aircraft to the Turkish ally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">TAI is also a contender, with its Hurjet, in a Malaysian competition for 18 light-assault aircraft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Hurjet is to have a maximum speed of Mach 1.2 and can fly at a maximum altitude of 45,000 feet. The aircraft\u2019s design is for a maximum payload of 3,000 kilograms, including ammunition, radar technology and a camera.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">TAI said the Hurjet is meant to replace aging Northrop Grumman T-38 Talon aircraft currently used by the Turkish Air Force.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Hurkus-C, the armed variant of the base version of Hurkus, features locally developed ammunition including CIRIT, TEBER, HGK and LGK. It can also use inertial navigation system\/GPS-guided bombs, conventional bombs, non-guided rockets, and machine guns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The armed Hurkus also features armored body parts, a self-protection system, a data link, laser tacking, an electro-optical and infrared pod, an external fuel tank, and advanced avionics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With a 1,500-kilogram payload that can be used through seven external hardpoints, the Hurkus-C can perform light-attack and armed reconnaissance missions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Turkish procurement officials think that once the Hurjet has become combat-proven with its use in the Turkish military, its export
