As TUSAŞ’s HÜRJET jet trainer becomes one of Spain’s highest-priority procurement programs, Greek media outlets have circulated speculative and politically motivated claims targeting the platform. Speaking to El Español, Turkish Aerospace (TUSAŞ) President & CEO Mehmet DEMİROĞLU dismissed these allegations, noting that “no unresolved issues remain” in the ongoing negotiations between the two countries and stating that the contract “could be signed within weeks.”

On October 28, Spain’s Council of Ministers officially launched the procurement of 45 new training aircraft under the Integrated Training System – Combat (ITS-C) to replace the Air and Space Force’s aging SF-5M fleet, authorizing a contract valued at approximately €3.12 billion.
