TR Sensors and Detector Programs

I doubt you could test wartime modes of those radars without owning the platforms.

You're right, but as a country that produces radars with AESA technology, we can still more or less estimate the true capabilities of these radars. If our pilots are satisfied, then the MURAD 100a AESA Radar is good enough.

We mustn’t forget that during multiple Anatolian Eagle exercises, Qatari Rafales and Typhoons and Pakistani JF17 block-3s have participated where Turkish pilots were able to see what they were up against.

in real world any successful outcome/product of an engineering process does exactly what it was designed to do.

I believe our guys' collective reaction to all those experiences over the years basically were, "oh we are so cooked against these modern jets". Wish we get to read some memoirs on TurAFs 2010s in the future.

But I really doubt all those trainings ever came close to actual real world experience other than "yeah, we're cooked." Export control and all that.

I doubt you could test wartime modes of those radars without owning the platforms. I don't think Eurofighter consertium, French or Chinese are gonna be particularly happy if their customers were leaking sensitive performance peremter of their AESA sensor to third party. (Not that I doubt MURAD-100A is a good radar.)

Who said, they were happy.

Wartime mods of those radars are tested and well known. Qatar-Turkiye has a joint squadron in Qatar. Pilots and technicians who work in that squadron plan and fly the missions together. This is not training together; it is forming a joint squadron. Turkish F-16s also trained extensively with Pakistan's JF-17s. Turkiye also collected a large amount of radar data in Anatolian Eagle exercises. That is why we know that the radar and kinematic capability of Typhoon is superior to that of Rafale.
