Azerbaijan becomes interested in Turkish turboprop attack aircraft Hurkus

Azerbaijan is likely to purchase the Hurkus trainer aircraft developed by Turkish Aerospace Industries (TAI); Baku has shown great interest in this aircraft.

Azerbaijan may become the second foreign customer of the Turkish Hurkus training aircraft after Niger, which ordered 12 aircraft. Although no statements have been made on this topic in Baku itself, they have spoken out in Turkey. Ismayil Demir, head of the republic’s defense industry, said that the Azerbaijani military are showing "great interest" in this aircraft. Another plus in favor of this version is the tests of two Hurkus aircraft in Azerbaijan at the beginning of December this year in the presence of the country's air force commander.

While there is no other information, it is not even known what kind of aircraft model we are talking about. Perhaps it will be the training Hurkus-B or the Hurkus-C turboprop attack aircraft developed on its basis.

If Hurkus-C is chosen, the Azerbaijani Air Force will receive a two-seater turboprop attack aircraft with six external suspension points, on which it can carry up to 1,5 tons of weapons. The armament includes conventional bombs, unguided rockets, suspended containers with 12.7-mm machine guns and 20-mm cannons, guided aviation GBU-12 bombs and the new Turkish guided bombs Tubitak SAGE KGK 82 and HGK 3, 70-mm Roketsan Cirit missiles and anti-tank guided missiles Roketsan UMTAS.

Earlier, Azerbaijan showed interest in another Turkish project - the Hürjet single-engine combat training aircraft, which is a further development of the Hurkus series. It is planned that the new aircraft with a length of 13,4 m and a wingspan of 11 m, will be able to develop a maximum speed of 1,2 M, climb to an altitude of almost 14 km and carry up to 3000 kg of payload. The first flight of the aircraft is scheduled for 2022.

The country is mountainous, it will complement attack helicopters on the battlefield ...... Su25 will not last forever.

Almost like "the State Department approved." And no BUT.

Practically ordered their vassals to buy their plane. Moreover, as the article says - it doesn't matter which one - any. And ammunition for them. Well, what can you do? You have to pay for help in the war and for practically organized staff work. Now permanently.

So much for the turbo-propeller. Flies like lightning - and the "penguin" will not catch up, however.

[Cat Alexandrovich]

- 1,2 M! Exactly! Wai! A m. will you take my tomatoes? A? Haroshy! Nat, your best? Then beti litak, brother! 1,2 M! Exactly! Himself the instructions prowled, handsome instructions!

Meanwhile, the Turkish lira fell 45% over the year). Who else, if not us, should know how expensive "fraternal states" are. Erdogan will soon auction his painting of the Turkic-speaking world).

[Kesha1980]

O! Indeed your truth. Thank you, because I got into the network to look for performance characteristics of various models of "Khurkush" and still does not beat.

At 42, you can already learn to read articles carefully

[The popuas]

Actually reactive ...

[just exp]

in the article in Russian it is written that this is a different model, which is the development of the idea of ​​the first. and this second model is reactive

Compare the difference between my comment and yours - 4 minutes. So what's up? I read it inattentively, but you do not take an example from me.

[Avior]

1,2M is a different plane. Jet, not turbo-propeller.

another Turkish project - a single-engine combat training aircraft Hürjet

[Mountain shooter]

The speed is not great. Cruising 450 km / h. Maximum 560. The flight altitude is high, about 10 km. The combat load is comparable to the latest modifications of the Ju-87. I suspect that MANPADS will shoot down such "birds" easily. It costs them to drop to attack. IMHO, this is a cheap alternative to a combat helicopter.

[donavi49]

Why descend to attack? The weapons operator looks at the optical station, selects targets, strikes with guided bombs outside the reach of MANPADS.

About easy, same question. Nevertheless, the dispersion is greater and the temperature itself is lower. At close range, there will be no problems, but at the outskirts, to capture it will be a problem for sure.

Modern MANPADS beat flyers on a collision course. Does he radiate a lot of heat on a head-on course? Or a helicopter with an exhaust nozzle? I don't think there will be problems. Just let it go down.

Apparently, Erdogan has tightly put Azerbaijan on his arms. But this, of course, is their internal affair.

[SKVichyakow]

And in Russia they do not want to buy planes because of friendly relations with Turkey?

[Free wind]

We have nothing of the kind.

[Grits]

Quote: Free Wind

We have nothing of the kind.

And by the way, it would be nice to have. Barmaley troops have not yet been canceled. And against them - the very thing.

[Sergey Aleksandrovich]

You can assume that you already have a prototype of a disposable aircraft. But here's the bad luck, it remains to recruit disposable pilots to pilot it.

[Jacket in stock]

Quote: SKVichyakow

And in Russia they do not want to buy planes because of friendly relations with Turkey?

They write that Russia refused to sell them the Su35.
And in the class of propeller-driven attack aircraft, we generally have zero.

[Sergey Aleksandrovich]

And they, these same propeller-driven attack aircraft, are they really needed? With modern guidance systems, at such low ground speeds, it will be difficult to dodge small caliber cannon fire or even heavy machine gun fire. Even the ancient "Shilka" can easily cope with such a goal.

[Free wind]

Helicopters have a much lower speed, a much lower ceiling, much larger dimensions even against the ancient Focke-Wulf190 aircraft

[Serg Kam]

And they, these same propeller-driven attack aircraft, are they really needed?

In Syria, we bombed the Barmaleevs even from the Tu-22, which costs an hour of flight dozens, if not hundreds of times more.
Moreover, with modern sensors, the attack aircraft does not need to descend to the ground, it can work comfortably from heights of several kilometers.
As far as I remember, the American Bronco cost the budget $ 1.000 per flight hour, and the F15 already cost about $ 20.000.

[Sergey Aleksandrovich]

It can and can work comfortably; it will be impossible to leave the air defense systems.

[Serg Kam]

it will be impossible to get away from air defense systems

What air defense systems do the same militants in Syria have? DShK on a cart?

Of course, against a systemic enemy, such pepelats are useless, but against the barmaley - it is

[Sergey Aleksandrovich]

From DShK MiG-21 and SU-17 spirits knocked down, and this pepelats will be disposable against any enemy.

[Serg Kam]

From DShK MiG-21 and SU-17 spirits knocked down,

Once again: in the MiG-21 and Su-17, the pilot had to rely on his eyes and work low-low.
Why would a modern pepelatsu go down when it can work from a height?

this pepelats will be one-time against any opponent.

Yours is not true. SuperTucano has already flown tens of thousands of combat missions, both against the Taliban and against the rebels in Colombia, Chile. And against the drug mafia. Downed can be counted on one hand.

[Sergey Aleksandrovich]

When they start tickling "Bukami" and MANPADS at a height, you will immediately understand why you need to go down.

[Serg Kam]

When the Bukami and MANPADS will start at altitude

Buki Tu-22mr shot down, but Super Tucano did not shoot down a single one.
What's next?

[Sergey Aleksandrovich]

Super Tucano was not knocked down, because no one needed to knock him down.

[Serg Kam]

Super Tucano was not shot down because no one needed

Did the Taliban and guerrillas care that they were being killed?
Are you adequate?
Once again: Super Tucano has flown tens of thousands of sorties.
Would you even read about combat use

Azerbaijan becomes interested in Turkish turboprop attack aircraft Hurkus

Not surprisingly - Azerbaijan is interested in everything that is in Turkey. "Brothers" however. For now, anyway.

[TermNachTer]

I hesitate to ask, and whose engines on the Turkish "shaitan arba" are worth?))) Azerbaijan wants to buy something that can be converted into a chicken coop in Aliyev's dacha in the future?)))

Neither Baku nor Moscow is interested in the Armenian point of view.

[TermNachTer]

And what does Moscow have to do with it?)))

[aslan balaev]

The Yak-130 was also mentioned.

[TermNachTer]

So there is nothing to compare. Yak - 130 combat training, with the possibility of converting into a very light fighter or attack aircraft. And what can this "shaitan - arba"?)))

Low-speed ones have their own advantages. By the way, Baku has not given up on the Italian M-346 either. And they are brothers with Yak.

[TermNachTer]

Yeah, dear ones, only an Italian costs almost twice as much)))

[aslan balaev]

And they sell it like hot cakes. Poland, Israel, Turkmenistan, etc. There are a lot of orders, despite the price.

[TermNachTer]

Poland, and even more so Turkmenistan, is not an indicator. There, everything is clear - more in number, at a lower price)))

Well, it's just not serious. Okay, Turmenia is not an indicator. Poland too. Azerbaijan and even more so, in your opinion. Singapore? 12 planes! How is Greece? Israel ordered 30 pieces and do you think this is not an indicator? And who is the indicator? Omerika or what? So they don't take from anyone.

[aslan balaev]

Because the letter y is absent in the Armenian alphabet. Shyutka !!!

[Karos]

This is more than enough to drive the poor Armenian special forces through the fields ... I hope the video saw how a detachment of the Armenian "elite" special forces escapes and 2 tanks follow them ... just like in a pun ... So 2 light training aircraft to intimidate an entire division of Armenians, this is the norm ...

I watched this video several times. Only later did I realize that the fleeing tanks were also Armenian. They disgraced themselves to the whole world. But they see the reason in Russian weapons. At the same time, 80% of Azerbaijan's weapons are Russian. With such allies and enemies are not needed.

[Tu154m]

This is a trainer aircraft. I do not think that it will be used in solving combat missions. Is that "bayraktars" to search and shoot down. In our DOSAAF flying clubs, similar devices are needed, at least based on the Yak-152.
