We also sold Hurkus to Niger and to Chad...

Niger and Chad were countries that needed systems with very low operating costs and precision strike capabilities, particularly in anti-trafficking/smuggling and anti-terrorism operations. In this respect, Hürkuş-C is not just a platform, it is a complete package from the payloads and weapon it carries to the ground systems. Hürkuş-C will be exported to many countries in Africa and even South America.

I see for Hurjet a market to, countries with low defence budget will buy.

We have to work more on it,for example unidef 12.7mm gunpod-bambi should be tested but the firm unfortunately seeks other aircrafts to test it.This firm or kale group should be supported for gunpods 12.7mm and 20mm.Imagine Atak with two 20mm gun pod and one original,sum of three.MKE also produced two new version of 20mm recently so 3 different 20mm ammo we have to support this concept
