Yes it is. $7.1 billions to be accurate.

LOI for Eurofighter??

5 gen definition doesn't undersell KAAN's work or ambition. 5th gen isn't strict term in itself. F35 and J20S are both going to control loyal wingman. Unlikely, given those very few countries (that are building 'next gen' platforms) doesn't have any less credibility in defence aviation...

Is it X band or S band? Couldn't find anything.

You know these missiles are accurate. A lot of work has been put into this for more than a decade. And So is the AESA sensor and the whole fire control architecture. The validation of missile, electronics and the platform working together in a perfect harmony to deliver an effect at this level...

It isn't. It's Iraq. Overexcited online defence enthusiasts mixed it up.

China's triple engine solution is a unique case where the manned aircraft in question is excepted to have an MTOW of 50 tonnes.

I agree that we didn't see any apparent power loss. But see this one. Dunno what is it. https://www.facebook.com/share/r/1EJPvzNse3/

I don't want to be overly critical. Aselsan makes excellent subsystems. but the build quality of the airframe itself needs to be improved by Baykar. To the level you see with TAI's KAAN prototype.
