What we call ''basement'' in modern buildings are officialy called as shelters. There is no forced inspection so people just use it as a basement and don't leave space for any emergancy gathering.
Just look at two comments above. Bayraktar succesfuly created a fan base. Now we see people comparing TB-2 to Anka and claiming TB-2 have done a better job for the army. People do try to shit on TAI, this includes CTO of the Baykar. This is already as political as it can get. You have a company...
It seems like they are trying to undermine TAI lately. With Selçuk Bayraktar shit talking about TF-X in order to promote his UCAVs. It is sad to see but not a suprising move, private companies will put their interests above others.

TB-3. I also don't think it would or could be named as a fighter as it's roles are the same with non-turbofan UCAVs like AKINCI.
My list would be...
SOM-J isn't really THAT thick though.
You can see SOM-B, SOM-J and TF-X together in this photo, it isn't really that thin of an aircraft and SOM-J isn't that thick of a missile. As you can see here, even SOM-B isn't that big.
TAI CEO Temel Kotil said Göksungur will fly after the TF-X in this interview at around 38. minute. This means we should not expect Göksungur to fly before 2025.
