Result and Future Outlook
The commencement of HÜRKUŞ-2's active duty in the Turkish Air Force inventory constitutes one of the most concrete indicators of Turkey's self-sufficiency vision in the military aviation field. The project, which offers an uninterrupted and high-technology ecosystem from basic training to combat squadron transitions, also harbors an export potential closely monitored by the air forces of friendly and allied countries in the future. Turkish defense industry is strengthening its position in global competition day by day by transferring the engineering expertise gained from the HÜRKUŞ series to upper-level jet training aircraft and combat platforms.
