There is only three 5th gen fighter operational today.
Other than that, su57 (not true stealth) and j35 still pending.
Not sooo many after all.

Well then you know that a lot of current and future 5th gen aircraft are missing some of those features.
i politely disagree.
Except su57, others will more or less pass true 5th gen requirements.

I'm hoping TFX will have this sort of configuration for R/F antennas

1. Main Nose AESA Radar
2. Flank Array AESA radars
3. Wing Root Passive Radar / Radar Warning Receivers
4. Aft Passive Radar / Radar Warning Receivers

I remember that Temel Kotil said it will have radar coverage for 360 degree, only question i had was the behind of the jet, but with new assembly video and look like su57, it confirms that thats the real plan

I hope they don't use UV sensors for MWS.. We should go for MWIR IR like DAS.
UV-based MWS has higher fidelity on lower altitudes with stronger background IR radiation from the surface. UV based MWS like those on the Belgian F-16s or F-15s acquired by Gulf countries have them for a reason and it is especially useful in dry, hot climates. If Turkish focus is to get MMU prepared against potential low-altitude asymmetric attack near the airfield using something like MANPADS, similar to what those Gulf countries are preparing themselves for, by for example the PKK or Greek spec-ops, a UV MWS could perfectly do its job and would arguably be more suited than the IR-based MWS.

Though since THK's most serious thread is that against the Hellenic Air Force, IR-based MWS would be more suitable for potential high-intensity conflict across the Aegean. Both has its strengths.
