Explain why it is good?
I had and still do have my reservations on Kaan's IWB space. Too big of a jet, but until yesterday it probably couldn't carry 4 long range AAMs. Goal should be 6; but unsure if that's planned.

Would 6 even fit though? It's not just the missiles, its whatever rack or pylon or hardpoints we put inside, at some distance between the missiles themselves, then between the missiles and the walls of the weapon bay all around it. We also need space for engine inlets to pass somewhere around there as well to reach the engine, don't we?

All true, and it's not done by anyone else so far; but would be a huge boon. Kaan is big and has lots of fuel to go all the way to Libya and do CAP there. 6 long sticks will be needed for future.

they could try something similar to the F35 with its internal weapons bay doors
