@dBSPL from PDF has also a good summary:

  • TAI's test capabilities and test facilities as an aircraft production center are moving towards a unique point in the world. Design, structural, production, test centers are combined under one complex. (He cites some anecdotes about how delegations from Boeing and Airbus were impressed by these testing capabilities. There are examples of TAI's own methodology and machines it has developed.)
  • The number of employees at TAI's Ankara facilities has exceeded 13,000. TAI facilities are now like a living city.
  • There is great secrecy in the ÖZGÜR project. TAI's most closed box. But from what has been announced, the F-16 Block-70 level is extremely possible locally.
  • At the end of 2022, Aselsan begins to deliver GaN-based AESA radars for Hurjet, Ozgur project and Akıncı to manufacturers for testing purposes.
  • Gökbey is on the mass production line. This year, deliveries to the Gendarmerie General Command begin.
  • On the subject of Hürkuş; Planes to go to Niger and Chad are ready, pilot training continues.
  • Hurjet, the aircraft to be used for static tests(iron bird) has been completed, and the othe prototype's all blocks that will make the first flight at 18 march has been completed.
  • MMU final assembly hangar completed. The construction of the facility where mass production will be made is about to be completed.

Very interesting. Like I said before, I wouldn't mind to see the WS-10C on the MMU.

Turkish president Recep Tayyip Erdogan disclosed that a superpower wants to exchange know how technology of 5th generation fighter with Türkiye’s drone technology a few days ago.

Straturka has learned from defense analysts that it was China offering the exchange.

However, analysts do not expect a collaboration with China as the Chinese fighter technology is not an advanced level. Türkiye’s NATO membership is another obstacle for cooperation, analysts added.

Chinese fighter technology is not an advanced level

According to I. Sunnetci the ARM Akbaba has had its first firing test:

Flight tests were started in the AKBABA Project, which was launched in 2017. Best wishes..

I used the HARM Anti-Radiation Missile image here, but it has AKBABA Ramjet Engine and its exterior design is different from HARM in that respect... There is an image from the flight, but I cannot share it at this stage because I did not get permission, maybe they will share it themselves..
