During the recent period, HÜRKUŞ-C has undergone successful flight and firing tests, validating the seamless integration of various ammunition and equipment into the aircraft.
HÜRKUŞ, having integrated national ammunition such as the L-UMTAS Laser Guided Long Range Anti-Tank Missile System produced by Roketsan, CİRİT Laser Guided Missile, MAM-L Mini Smart Ammunition, and TOGAN Weapon System developed by TÜBİTAK SAGE, has successfully conducted firing tests, demonstrating its effectiveness and precision with these advanced weapon systems.
HÜRKUŞ-C has been integrated with the "flare" system, developed by EHSİM, offering protection against guided missiles in a multi-threat environment. This enhancement equips the aircraft with the capability to defend against heat-sensitive missiles.
Recently, the Laser Guidance Kit (LGK)-81 has been successfully integrated into HÜRKUŞ, converting the 250-lb class MK-81 general-purpose bomb into a cost-effective and smart munition with high-precision targeting capabilities. In tests conducted in Konya two weeks ago, HÜRKUŞ demonstrated its accuracy and effectiveness by making a successful shot at its target using the LGK-81, developed by ASELSAN.
HÜRKUŞ-C is set to conduct upcoming firing exercises utilizing its under-wing pod, which is equipped with a 12.7-millimeter heavy machine gun.
The integration of a heavy machine gun into HÜRKUŞ-C will provide the aircraft with close air support capability, significantly enhancing its effectiveness in supporting Land Forces operations.
