TR TF-X KAAN Fighter Jet

If Saudi Arabia buys 100 KAAN then at least Block 0,1 and 2 will be financed.
The only question is whether they want to buy Block 0-1 or only Block 2 with Turkish Engines.
Block 0-1 will be equipped with F-110 129, the USA could block it in order not to prevent their own export possibilities.

US would not block a deal to the most important weapon importer.

The backside of Kaan is more or less flatt. The backside of F-35 fuselage is curved. Why? Which one is more affected by radar waves?

Even if we compare it with the most advanced software available today, the major design updates in the P1 mean that it cannot serve as a strong indicator. Additionally, whether it serves as an indicator or not would yield similar results even if the upper-rear fuselage were identical—which means it’s not a reliable indicator either. As humans, we categorize parts of an aircraft based on specific geometric sections, but this approach doesn’t work the same way in the electromagnetic spectrum. We need to consider the platform as a whole; analyzing just a part of the aircraft won’t lead to accurate conclusions.

As I mentioned, it’s still too early to make RCS estimations for the entire design. As far as we know, the ultimate goal is achieving RCS values close to the F-35. Those who set this target are the ones calculating how the entire aircraft will affect the electromagnetic signature, especially in relation to the upper-rear fuselage design.
