I think the hinge-like apparatus seen in the part I bought in the red circle is related to the folding mechanism of the wings. By eye judgment, 4 of the heavy duty pylons fit between this part and the root wing. The optional 5th and 6th pylons, which can carry lighter ammunition, also somewhere near the exact folding point.

The folding point is vaguely visible in the front section photo.

Holy shit it has a beautiful design. TB3 probably has a lower RCS than TB2. Landing gears are retractable, the engine and air inlets are well-hidden, and the body has a sleek design.

The distance between the folding points is 0.45 times the total wingspan. This corresponds to a folded wing position width of approximately 6.3 meters. In addition, the main wing area, where there will be three ammunition racks, will be approximately 2 meters. Of course, this is only a rough calculation, but it gives an idea.

With a very rough calculation, this means that each TB-3 will occupy an area of 50-55 square meters in the TCG Anadolu hangars and deck sides.
