I got a question is YIRAD now known as alp600 or something else because of the size difference. YIRAD was shown to be similar to tpy 2 and alp 600 is as big as 4 story building.

Everyone been focusing on TÜBİTAK SAGE activities in the 2025 report, but BİLGEM been up to some nice stuff too in radar stuff

One interesting thing about YDYFR radar is that despite it being a "maritime surveillance radar" the Raytheon equalivent of it can detect and track but not target lock(because of low fidelity of the radar wave) F-35 sized aircraft from 80-120 km away and big passenger type aircraft from 280+ km away in daytime. Moreover generally is not effected by RAM painting and stealth geometry because of the huge wavelength of the radar waves(10-100 meters). I don't know if TÜBİTAK is working in this area for this project but can serve as a nice tripwire system against stealth platforms
