R400D doesn't have a 1280*720 15-micron MWIR sensor.
Here is the proof it has a 1024*768 15-micron MWIR sensor.

This picture also clearly states that the sensor resolution is 1024*768 not 1280*720 as you claimed above.

It says 1024*768
The first and second image is not the same FLIR. The first image is R400D second image is F-500C.

Yes but as far as I know the main sensor of F-500C is an MWIR 1280*720 15-micron sensor. If I'm not mistaken the new ROIC you posted belongs to a SWIR sensor. F-500C will also have SWIR so maybe it might be related to that.

İnviting to bid for tender is not selecting the fighter. We have to see which western company or companies show up for our fighter tender and act accordingly. BTW It is TurAF, not TuAF. Let's see how willing the Eurofighter consortium or SAAB are to bid on our fighter tender.
SSB should immediately launch a tender for 60-80 new fighters that should be open to all including Chinese and Russian manufacturers. Let's see who will show up and proceed accordingly.
