The overall sentiment I see around is that it's a good, high performance plane but not best at being a trainer, maybe a bit difficult to operate for a beginner.
I hope so, lack of stealth nozzle due to commonality with F35B is one of the biggest weaknesses of the platform. I hope KAAN is more like F22 nozzle, and I think due to the placement of vertical stabilizers it is even more crucial for IR stealth.
It might help that Turkey is one of the few countries that can connect such systems with underground infrastructure directly near the area of interest.
Do you scan while beamforming narrow area that I don't know of? I mean you can use Burfis as illumination radar with all modules but what will first spot the target it will illuminate at that range then? And are eirs and cenk s not capable of same?
Ok so EIRS have about 5 times the modules of Burfis and 10 times that of Murad. It's S vs X band but you get the idea. Even Cenk's is about 2 times more modules than Burfis, plus both of those have significantly more cooling and power generation( CENK -S peak power is roughly 2 times total...
I think it's a mentality problem. I mean working hours being extreme is one thing, but it's the marketing that sells any idea. You need to sell the idea of family.
An important point about Hürjet vs Gripen comparison is that, in Hürjet config, horizontal stabilators push down, the main wings push up and then center of mass in front of wings pushes down to balance the plane. In delta canard configuration of Gripen, canard pushes up, center of mass between...
