The CEO of TAI Temel Kotil gave an interview:
Giving information about the progress of the project, Kotil said that 4 prototypes will be built first and they will be used in flight tests. Kotil said, "We aim to build 6-7 aircraft in the first year in the mass production process(2025), and to produce 2 aircraft per month and 24 aircraft per year from the next year (2026).
The Malaysian tender also includes delivery in 2025. After 2025, 2 Hürjets will leave the hangar and will be delivered to the customer every month."
Answering the questions about the 18-plane light attack aircraft tender in Malaysia, in which Hürjet also participated, Kotil revealed his claims against rival aircraft that have been flying for a long time. Pointing out that he could reach information much more quickly in this century, Kotil made the following evaluations: "In our youth, an organization had to have a history in order to make an airplane. It was necessary to have built airplanes before, and to have produced and tested accordingly. This was the situation in the 1970s, 50 years have passed. Engineering software is much more capable, they have developed over time. Artificial intelligence works easier, history is no longer needed. Because when simulating on the computer, results are very close to reality. These are tested in the wind tunnel. Everyone can do it, but you have to want to do it. We do these because our President has the acumen. It takes acumen, financing, desire and young staff. We trust Hürjet. We compete with everyone, we are in every tender. We are also in the Malaysian tender. We go and tell the authorities. We have not made such an offer and withdrawn. I went to Malaysia 3 times on this matter, now I will make my fourth visit and we believe in our product."
Expressing that Turkey is now at a level to do what a country that can be cited as a reference does, Kotil stated that with the studies they carry out, they also train engineers who will do these studies. Pointing out that Hürjet is developed and produced with the latest technologies against its competitors, Temel Kotil said: "If a plane was designed 10 years ago; if I design a rival plane for it 10 years later, my plane will be better than it. The method and approaches we use are the same, but there are materials and manufacturing techniques that have changed in 10 years. For him, the last one is better than the one before. Everyone believe this. That's why we are in the Malaysian tender, I hope it will be possible. We are running our campaign. We are present in price, technology and delivery."

LMAO Kotil is directly refuting my earlier statement that the T-50 is the better candidate than the Hurjet because of it being a mature product:
Also I made the argument months ago how todays technology and software are helping with the development of aircraft for an organization with little history in aerospace engineering. I've also stated before, that besides technological capability, there needs to be political will. I have been validated by Kotil.
