I wonder if the Aesa Radar being installed is GaS based or GaN based. TFX is definitely going to have the GaN based version. But may be because it is cheaper and easier to manufacture, on the F16’s, could they have opted for the GaS based one?

I Hope Sungur in production is the + version with improved specs! One can only hope!!
