I hope it's a competitive radar system! Aircraft, fly-by-wire, radar, EW, friend-or-foe detection with target acquisition, avionics, communications systems that are non-jammable and tap-proof + countermeasures, missile/laser warning system.
We have never produced such a highly complex system that is so interconnected.
I'm really worried about whether the software is good enough, because that will be the Achilles heel: How fast and safe is it in real time in a combat situation? For example in close combat (dogfight) & beyond visual range combat or surveillance missions, is this data really reliable, can the pilot really rely on this data...
The other countries have decades of development of such systems behind them and therefore experience. We are talking here about evolutionary leaps from radar systems to new radar systems or from operating systems and software to new operating systems and software. We are practically starting from scratch.
I hope that it will not only be a competitive fighter aircraft on paper, but also in reality. ASELSAN & Co can say a lot about what this or that system can do, but it also has to deliver, and better than or at least equal to all other systems, otherwise the result of a conflict will be the death of the pilot.

I mean there is a reason why they do years of digital and real world testings. Aslesan had a good learning and growth curve. From Kalkan I in 2000s to all types new generation ESA (electronically scanned array) sensors in 2020s. MURAD is only constrained by its cooling capacity. Which unfortunately seems to be a bit low.
