So it turns out Spain wants to only source the fuselage/the empty shell of the aircaft from TAI and customize the equipment acc. to their and their prospective customers' needs.



Personal commentary: He's a top tier journalist so If this guy's on it, then there's definitely some smoke.
Sounds like Airbus Spain's AFJT - Trainer project 2020 concept is dead in the water?

I think the Spaniards are looking at a localized, licenced version of Hürjet as an opportunity to get to the AFJT in a cheaper, faster and (for them) easier way. This is also why the deal is worth only 800 million USD for 24 aircraft.
 
TAI General Manager Mehmet Demiroğlu:

Hürjet Second prototype will make its first flight at the end of this month. P2 is in light attack configuration.

AJT configuration delivery will start in 202
6. We have almost reached the contract stage with 3 countries, an announcement may be made soon.
