HÜRJET: Advanced Technology Evaluated by Spain
The HÜRJET, developed as an advanced training aircraft, had already attracted the interest of the Spanish Air Force. Last July, the prototype was evaluated at the Torrejón Air Base (Madrid), marking the first detailed analysis by a foreign air force. Subsequently, a Spanish delegation visited TAI facilities in Ankara to continue the assessments.
According to sources, Spain plans to replace its F-5 fleet with 24 HÜRJET units, making this agreement a strategic milestone for both nations.
