Turkish Aviation Programs

I think it was just a structural upgrade/maintenance to increase the lifetime of the airframe. I don't think the aircraft are upgraded in terms of capabilities. Thus, they stay as Block 30.

the b30 has to get new avionic systems - radars etc.. there is no way around

I think they will get avionics upgrade later when the AESA radar is ready.

The important questions are not answered in the article:

Does the increase in combat value of the block 30 have an impact on the classification?
Increase to block 40? 50?
What changes have been made to the body, besides the reinforcement of the 'armor'?

This is the first stage of the block 30 upgrade program. They will also get new avionics, mission coputer, IFF, AESA radar and EW systems within the scope of the Özgür program and all of the upgrades will be indigenous.

finally, the answer I needed - because keeping the B30in the inventory is like not modernizing our M60

Curious on the exterior changes when its finished because the current block 30 looks really slim and blank.

It wasn't a real dogfight. Greece often tries to provoke Turkish pilots into a mock dogfight but our pilot did the smart thing and didn't engage in a dogfight.

Indonesia, Turkey keen to cooperate in COVID-19 vaccine development

Indonesia is very open to strengthening cooperation in the fields already discussed.

Jakarta (ANTARA) - Research and Technology Minister Bambang Brodjonegoro and Turkish Technology and Industry Minister Mustafa Varank partook in a virtual meeting to discuss opportunities for cooperation in the development of COVID-19 vaccines and medicines.

During the virtual meeting, initiated by the Indonesian Embassy in Ankara on Tuesday, Minister Brodjonegoro was accompanied by the Indonesian ambassador to Turkey, several officials of the ministry, officials of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, head of the Agency for Application and Development of Technology (BPPT), head of the Aeronautics and Space Institute (LAPAN), the chair of Eijkman Institute, and heads of technology-based industries, including PT. Bio Farma, PT Dirgantara Indonesia, and PT RAI.

"Indonesia is very open to strengthening cooperation in the fields that were already discussed. Hence, we agree to discuss the memoranda of understanding in each field as soon as possible and also sign an agreement between the two ministers that will serve as an umbrella for other cooperation agreements", the minister noted in a statement issued by the Indonesian Embassy in Ankara.

According to information from the World Health Organization (WHO), Turkey is one of the four nations globally to have achieved the most noteworthy progress in the field of vaccine development.

Meanwhile, PT Bio Farma is one of the largest vaccine industries in the Islamic world.

In addition to cooperation in the pharmaceutical sector, the two ministers discussed technological developments and the likelihood of cooperation in the commercial aerospace industry for N-219 and R-80 planes, satellites and satellite launchers or rockets, as well as for the development of unmanned aircraft technology for producing drones.

In the field of satellite and rocket development, Turkey has begun domestically building large-scale communication satellites and is one of the developed countries in the rocket industry, especially for military purposes.

Hence, the two countries perceive vast opportunities to collaborate to develop satellite technology, rockets, and satellite launchers.

"Based on the presentations given by the two delegations, it is increasingly clear that concrete opportunities for technological cooperation in various fields between Indonesia and Turkey are hugely promising. We must immediately follow up on them," Minister Varank noted. Related news: Indonesia joins with South Korea in COVID-19 vaccine push

So we can see the first ground tests of Hurkus on august 21'st, 2021, this means that we will see the first prototype (roll-out of hanger) during that period as well.

I personally think something strange is going on with hurjet. Why postpone hurjet to 2023 is it because of the domestic engine ?
