TR TF-X KAAN Fighter Jet

Here is great interview with ex fighter pilot and advisor at Saab from Millennium 7. He talks in detail about Sensor fusion, stealth and Modern A2A in general. (PS: title of video is clickbait.)

All his titles are clickbait but his content is nice. I heard clickbait is just needed to succeed in youtube

SAAB guy basically says passive sensors are way more important than previously thought, especially combined with sensor fusion. He also throws away the idea that stealth is the end-all-be-all solution. Especially western defence enthusiasts would hate this take.

Ground radar might detect a stealth fighter at close distance however active radar seeker of missiles can not detect.

Can I ask a bit?
When is 2nd prototype roll out?
Is it the same design (shape) as the first?

And when will it be flying?

I don't know, I'm asking

I wonder when the claim that TuAF will receive KAAN in 2028 will be shelved and a revised schedule will be announced. I don't see how the necessary testing can be completed, production started, aircraft built and delivered with no flight testing of production-representative aircraft until 2025 at the earliest. Several flying airframes will be needed to compress the time required for flight testing. Zero (I discount the first prototype) exist today.
