How many T/R Modules would this AESA radar have as GaAs?

You can reach an aprox TRM number by counting them. This opening on AESA have around 180+ GaN TRM

According to today’s news made by a leading defence magazine columnist, it is already being tested On f16.
The president of defence undersecretariat, Professor Demir, had stated last autumn that we should see it on our f16’s fairly shortly. These things are covered by certain amount of secrecy until they are fully ready. So we are in the wait.

Turkey still has many fighters, no need to buy Russian fighters, but it could be related to TFX engine, something similar like how Chinese bought 24 SU 35. Precondition deal to get engine supply approval for J 20 program.

I think it's too early to say anything. It's like testing the waters. So it has to get a lot more dirty before you can really say whether the US will offer, or EU allies will offer planes.

But if Turkey decides to buy Russian planes, the EU will come running, but only after Turkey makes the decision to buy Russian plane. Because that would literally be the worst possible outcome for NATO and Turkey.

So in a way Turkey is saying, come with offers before we decide to go for Russian planes.

Man I hope the RR engine comes and we get hurjet up and flying much quicker ffs.

It is funny how people think that TuAF would buy anything from Russia. TuAF is completely based on the NATO infrastructure. When you buy Russian planes, you need Russian radars, guidance systems, satellite links, mission computers etc. You can’t even select your own domestically developed missile, let alone any other NATO missiles in the TuAF inventory. In addition to the complexity of educating a new generation of pilots who need to train on Russian systems instead of NATO systems (or domestic systems), the maintenance of those planes becomes an absolute nightmare. We have really experienced maintenance crews that have worked on numerous GE engines, NATO as well as domestic systems and sub-systems. You can’t just educate hundreds of people once again for just 20 or 30 planes. You need to completely overhaul your maintenance infrastructure. You need to establish yet another logistics network and that itself is an impossibility on its own. Look at countries that have purchased systems from both sides. Look at the state of their aircraft. They can’t even fly them. Even drones are very hard to operate when you don’t have a secure logistics network. Look at Iraq. They can’t even fly something as simple as a drone because they can’t keep them maintained.

Despite its aging fleet, TuAF is still one of the most combat-ready and mission capable air forces in the world, as proven by its massive operations in Northern Iraq, Syria and East Med.
