Can you Pakistani or Indian friends translate this?
He talks about a 5th gen fighter, A Turkish fighter labeled as muslim fighter, Didn't go in to specifications b/z he claims they are not specified yet due to engine c/z it's not selected yet. They wanted to get help from Pakistan.Can you Pakistani or Indian friends translate this?
There are some places which has been working on RAM for a while (10-20+ years, some more recent)Has Turkey made stealth materials for TFX already?
Does Turkey plans all stealth+Sensor based platform or some aspect of aerodynamics too?There are some places which has been working on RAM for a while (10-20+ years, some more recent)

Some of the firms/institutions has done several works for air/naval platforms and probably they will also be doing RAM- Paint /Coating studies for TF-X.
I don't know about that,it is not my expertise but other people would reply better.Does Turkey plans all stealth+Sensor based platform or some aspect of aerodynamics too?
Cause we know stealth kills aerodynamics
Short answer: There is no reason that a low observable aircraft should suffer in maneuverability, if properly designed, and the F-22 and YF-23 are proof of concept.Does Turkey plans all stealth+Sensor based platform or some aspect of aerodynamics too?

good very goodShort answer: There is no reason that a low observable aircraft should suffer in maneuverability, if properly designed, and the F-22 and YF-23 are proof of concept.
Again, if an aircraft is properly designed for a particular role and maintains strict design discipline and focus on the goals for the program, there is no reason a stealth airplane cannot possess good fighter qualities with low observable features included. B-2 does demonstrate stellar aerodynamics blended with LO features.
So with the experience of BAE systems and what we know of stealth vs aerodynamics behind us, the TFX is going to be both aerodynamic and manoeuvrable as well as stealthy. TFX, in terms of sensors, stealthiness and manoeuvrability, will be somewhere between f35 and f22. (This last statement is not mine. It was used by Mr T. Kotil, the Tusas CEO)
TF-X will be somewhere between an F-35 and F-22 in terms of kinematic capability.Does Turkey plans all stealth+Sensor based platform or some aspect of aerodynamics too?

That's what they do when they enter a spin but with the addition of some AI they shouldn't be spinning non stop.
2023 + 2 = |2025 - 2028| = 3 years production time.TUSAŞ Genel Müdürü Kotil: Milli Muharip Uçak, 2028'de Türk Hava Kuvvetlerine teslim edilecek - M5 Dergi
Türk Havacılık ve Uzay Sanayii AŞ (TUSAŞ) Genel Müdürü Prof. Dr. Temel Kotil, Türkiye’nin en önemli projesi Milli Muharip Uçak’ın 2028’de Türk Hava Kuvvetlerine yerli ve milli olarak teslim edileceğini bildirdi.

TAI CEO, Temel Kotil reiterates once again that the TFX will be delivered to TuAF in 2028. He says having had it’s first engine firing in 2023 and following a 2 year test period, the TFX plane will be delivered to the airforce in 2028. There is no escaping from this fact. Since it is known that there is no F35 to fill the gap , he says, has made everyone working on TFX project all the more willingly to finish it as soon as possible.
