UV based MWS has disadvantages against certain rocket motor types due to their burning temperature, UV emission wavelength etc. This is one of the reasons why Russian MWS systems sometimes fail against manpads in Ukraine. UV also doesn't detect overall IR signature of the missile which includes excessive heat from drag etc. IR is better at almost everyway. And since MMU is meant for medium to high altitude, using UV MWS is very very bad. And yeah with IR you can have DAS like F35UV-based MWS has higher fidelity on lower altitudes with stronger background IR radiation from the surface. UV based MWS like those on the Belgian F-16s or F-15s acquired by Gulf countries have them for a reason and it is especially useful in dry, hot climates. If Turkish focus is to get MMU prepared against potential low-altitude asymmetric attack near the airfield using something like MANPADS, similar to what those Gulf countries are preparing themselves for, by for example the PKK or Greek spec-ops, a UV MWS could perfectly do its job and would arguably be more suited than the IR-based MWS.
Though since THK's most serious thread is that against the Hellenic Air Force, IR-based MWS would be more suitable for potential high-intensity conflict across the Aegean. Both has its strengths.
Almost a mini AWACS!Holy that AESA mount, will be a beast for sure
I agree 2000 GAN at leastHoly that AESA mount, will be a beast for sure

Wouldn't all of those need smt like TF45000?2000+ Main
2x 500+ Left and Right Flank
500+ Aft
That would be a beast!
Not really, it is more about generator than the engineWouldn't all of those need smt like TF45000?
T700 is not enough for Atak-2As far as I see, they rushed TFX's prototype and rollout because of some people* that is why, we won't see it flying for a longer time, some parts or design might change, it looks very different than the mockup or previous designs as well, but Hurjet looks finalized, I believe it will fly and LRIP might start sooner than expected.
Same problem with Atak 2, probably rushed.. and it will have engine problems, because Engines = Ukraine = War.. unless they drop Ukrainian engines and use TEI T700..
TUSAS presented a TFX cockpit mock-up at Faranborough Airshow that looked similar to the current prototype.As far as I see, they rushed TFX's prototype and rollout because of some people* that is why, we won't see it flying for a longer time, some parts or design might change, it looks very different than the mockup or previous designs as well, but Hurjet looks finalized, I believe it will fly and LRIP might start sooner than expected.

Gotta be the worst mockup ever, look at that radome !TUSAS presented a TFX cockpit mock-up at Faranborough Airshow that looked similar to the current prototype.

what you mean by hotspots?View attachment 52135
In the latest ASELSAN magazine, there is a small but good info about RAM's
When applied to hotspots, it can decrease the RCS by around 1000 times, (-30dBsm)
This is a really good amount, i hope it is also easy to maintain and resistant to weather (eg F-35 RAM)
scattering centers, RCS hotspotswhat you mean by hotspots?
Shall we try to guesstimate TFXs RCS from that?scattering centers, RCS hotspots
