Let's not forget that what i meant by outdated: F-22's avionics are now probably worse than new EF's and definitely worse than F-35s, and probably even F-15EX

Power generation IS NOT related to engine, Engine power does limit how much power you can generate but a 6000lbf engine is already enough to power 90kVA generator. For example TF-X has 2x 120kVA generators on board while F-22 has 2x65, TF-X generates nearly twice the power even though it has...

Pay attention to the piece between the body and slat, really shows how much TAI priorities stealth. Now it is up to ASELSAN for making it 5th gen avionics

Yeah, Akbaba is Ramjet propelled

And another thing to add is Akbaba doesn't look like HARM, it could cause some misconceptions

Yes, that's correct

Wingman controller

Yes it is, they will mostly be upgrading ICP and AESA arrays (mainly GaAs to GaN, thus more power)

Yes, i am not against that but as a general rule if you a have a decent radar (something similar to enemies) and have low RCS (X<~0.05) and can get into around 80km of your target, then you will best it. F-15/Su-27/30/35/J-16/15/11 will have the kinematic advantage but they just have very big...

i would still be hesitant to call F-35 5.5 by any means, J-20AS is a better candidate

F-35 is limited by infrastructure and weapons/system ecosystem, for example if you put Greek F-35s against TurAF TF-X' they will lose because they lack the assets. F-35, MQ-28, B-21 etc. are systems in the structure of the USAF, F-35 even though being a really really good fighter, it would...

Oh, i meant future, like when AF's switch to more unmanned stuff

That's not how it works F-22's electronics are kind of already outdated F-35 i might agree but only for USA F-15EX is just a bomb truck of F-35, it would get bested by every low RCS platform there

Yes, F-35 will be superior, at least for this decade

Yes, they would

What you are missing here is that F-15(EX) has enormous RCS (similar to flankers), like 10-15m² While with worst estimates being around 0.2m² for Kızılelma. F-15EX can carry as much as it wants but it can't use them if it cant see the Kızılelma. Without AI, Kızılelma will be limited in WVR...

Yes

i think he is talking about low RCS and agility, maybe radar could perform similar to F-15C' (with AI-322f, B version) Other than that F-15 has the edge

Yes, but nowhere near what we have achieved with EM waves

Well it can if we think of rear aspect but not much for frontal, actually you wont have much chance frontally if you are going at higher speeds than ~0.9 mach as air friction would cause the skin to heat up.
