sir why do we need Hurkus when we have much better K8 and we are producing it at home . K8 is already cleared for CAS and I hope with little effort , it can be transformed in to good COIN platform .AM Arshad Malik said the ISR element was requested by customers (which is fine since EO/IR pods are light), but the COIN stuff is a PAC study.
Second, the Super Mushshak and Hurkus are different categories of trainer - the Super Mushshak is a screening trainer, while the Hurkus is meant as a replacement for basic jet trainers such as the T-37. In fact, you'll notice that recent Super Mushshak buyers - e.g. Qatar, Turkey and Nigeria - have also bought the PC-21, KT-1 and Super Tucano, respectively. Turkey itself is developing the Hurkus.
Should the PAF buy the Hurkus, it would be for replacing the T-37. For each of those Super Mushshak buyers, it would be a completely normal decision, one in line with most air forces. As for the Hurkus-C, it would be viewed as a COIN platform that's completely on-par with the competition, and it might even sway Nigeria away from the Super Tucano (which it is aggressively seeking today).
Third, it's not an issue of the Super Mushshak being comparatively smaller or lighter than the Hurkus-C, it is just inherently too limited for the role. These munitions add lots of relative weight which will greatly reduce the agility and maneuverability of this plane - i.e., no one is going to send this into a hostile environment over a drone, much less a proper COIN platform like the Hurkus-C. In fact, the Burraq drone has about as much payload with its own EO/IR pod as the Super Mushshak.
I take it as a possible step in that someone at PAC is finally aware of the turboprop COIN market. Yes, this isn't an optimal solution, but it might be a bridge for them to finally see the Hurkus-C, Super Tucano and/or Archangel in action. Once that happens, they'll forget about arming the Super Mushshak.
hurkus is more advance trainer than basic mushshakIf TAI has the Hurkus why go with the S. Mushshak? Offsets/ relationship?

How to ascertain that ?Did any of you guys even noticed that the aircraft fitted out for COIN role is a Nigerian example.

Shouldn't be long before it gets an ideal opportunity for hot test in the field.Hahahahahahba, only u could have seen that. Good find.
It seems nigerians asked for it, a cheap solution.
