Wdym by "actual RCS" RCS is not a constant value

Yep. But let's not forget that it was a reaaaallly old radar

Indeed, iirc Serbs got the plans by observing the movements and spying on either the french or Italians

F-117 was not shot down because of the IWBs. Serbia radar detected it, EW support was not present at the sortie. F-117 was shot 3-4 times and each except 1 returned to base with minor or heavy damage

There is the FSS/DAS system for that already. X band would be better for ECM/EW

Here you can see that engine and intakes are also in the same scale.

There is room for IWBs, there are 2 of them (left and right of the intake/engine), the render posted by that newspaper/site is correct. You can just use the humans for scale there.

This one has 2 IWBs. It is not as small you think, while it was in production it took me a while to walk by it. As i said, until TEI produces something more powerful (than a AI-322/TF-6000), this is the one we got.

This was the one I saw (and proportions seem OK to me). Maybe we can expect a bigger version after TEI progresses with their engine projects

Yeah, dafuck? For non-Turkish speaking people, Yusuf Akbaba got confirmation of Anka-3 being able to be used from TCG-Anadolu

We can't really comment on that without pilot input.

I am not saying that TF-X is not open for discussion, but if he wants to accuse TAI of designing stuff with no expertise, then he needs to come with real proof, analysis and credentials

The part about Vstabs are not really open for discussion either. Like did he run CFD on the aircraft to claim those? Did he look at TF-X with a strong IR sensor? There is a reason why engines and Vstabs are like that...

And before our guy comes and whines about how they traded aero for more space, that is not the case. It is known/claimed to perform better in subsonic/transonic regimes. Iirc it is related to shock cones and airflow.

Like cmon, newer versions of J-35 and J-20 also sport a spine/canopy/cockpit like the TF-X, apart from aerodynamics you know have more space for either fuel or avionics, more room for upgrades etc. Please, cmon

Uh not really, and also people don't bother much to answer when all the things he said are BS

Because people think that TAI will design a new aircraft for serial production just to meet their aesthetics. Changes will definitely happen, there and here. But don't expect a major airframe redesign. Function over form. (+I don't get why it seems ugly to people)

Comparing companies are not exactly a good way, in that way Sukhoi and MiG should also be better than TAI, but i would bet on them being not. Or AVIC, it is kind of recent compared to US or Russian ones, but they are one of the best. There is no reason to blindly say that something made by TAI...
