Yup. They probably still use old models, including the mockup. Doesn't mean anything, we know TAI is usually hit&miss when it comes to models and mockups and they shouldn't be taken as gospel.Looks exactly like the old mock up design

Could the lack of a new mockup indicate the design fluidity of KAAN? Maybe they don't see value in making new mockups when the final design is not set yet.Yup.

That was mentioned before by T. Kotil.the canopy-radome line looks smoothed out and the "pelican" look is gone.
It has to.
Should KAAN be able to do that? 'Cause main air bases are vulnerable. Even with AMD bubble.
Frankly speaking if you find yourself using highways for landing and take off it means that things are not going well for you. As we all know For Sweeden and Finland it was a contingency plan in case a war with Russia during Cold War in a scenario where they may have limited ability to use their airfields or the orgin of V/STOL concept which was succesfully adapted for use from AC or even the desperate aircraft designs of NAZİ Germany are the reflections of the same idea.... So should KAAN land on Highways?
As a conclusion if you find yourself using highways for landing and take off it means that things are not going well for you... you can not win a war by using hayways
No. the very same reflection of the very same idea if you look a bit carefullyNo. Operating from highways is part of USAF's new Agile combat employment CONOP.

It is more than that. I read their dcotrinal publication. Did you?
Operating from highways does not mean you are already at significant disadvantage. USAF is the most capable in the world by a wide margin. Still, ACE and operating from highways as part of it is their new CONOP from the get-go. Not because they are tactically or operationally desperate like Nazi Germany, or outgunned like Nordic countries.
Good for you! So you read the dcotrinal publication and guess we have to assume that you understand it... right??
Lets read a small section of it together but this time lets put a mutual effort to understand it.
''As NATO peer and near-peer adversaries have continued to advance their intelligence-gathering, targeting, and long-range strike capabilities. Consequently, airbases, which have typically been geographically separated from conflict areas and represented relative safe havens, are increasingly vulnerable''
Doesn't this sound like a disturbance in their ontological securtiy?
I dont generally write aggressive comments but I dont like the way you replied....''I read their dcotrinal publication. Did you?'' this is not an argument and not a nice way to start
