Right under the inlet would be ideal right maybe a bit further behind.
You mean something like the English Electric Lightning?

One of the reasons why I absolutely love this vintage beauty is that it had hard points on the sides of the fuselage.

I mean if it can handle the 200kg then yes and you know all the other things airflow etc. I don’t want to waste the central pylon for that and other things could be good(CFT, Single Seat for more space, Dorsal spine for ew)

A better option would be integrating Toygun eots and Karat irst so you dont have to waste precious hardpoint for aselpod.

what do you mean?
I'm guessing he means that it opens Hürjet to sanctions and embargoes if it is seen as a combat aircraft as opposed to a trainer because they showed their hand too early. Nobody really gives a toss about trainers but a combat aircraft is a different matter. There is also the chance that agreement for the engine they are using didn't cover an armed variant, so that could also be a problem.

Shouldn't have done it, but oh well; it's already out there.
This is the grey zone where passion, ambition and enthusiasm meet espionage activities.

Camping around TAI facilities may not be quite naive in my opinion. This is beyond of being a spotter if it involves non-civilian airports. S

Common sense; US already is aware of the engine being used for LCA prototypes and used in live fires. The matter here is being that; it goes public, the senate has to take some actions that violates the contract / permission granted, the factions against TR gains a leverage in judiciary applications.

I hope the photographer won't be prosecuted for espionage.

Doubtful that TAI or SSB would even go ahead with this if it was not agreed upon in the first place. But yeah stuff like this can be used by political factions in the US to stop delivery of engines because they ''fear'' weaponization even though the current contract probably only stipulates the trainer version.

Hürjet LCA is just a prototype, the engine can only become a problem when ordered in high numbers.

I wanted most of the 90+ trainers for TurAF to be delivered before any testing of LCA type.

I mean we could have applied for a test engine for a LCA variant to see if we'd face any trouble before doing this stuff.

I did mention the risks involved quite some time ago ffs.
