I think the answer to this question will also be related to the target identification systems of the aircraft. In the video below, the F-35 engages 5 different moving targets at the same time with 5 GPS Aided Inertial/Semi-Active Laser guidance type munitions and the targets are hit with GEOT accuracy.

Only 1 moving target, 4 stationary targets. You can fire 1000 missiles at stationary targets, nothing difficult about that. What's hard is firing at multiple moving targets simultaneously. For that you need guided missiles or multiple laser designators (or a multiplexed laser designator which I don't think exists yet).

No worries. Our customers either can not effort buying Mojave or USA doesn’t sell to them.

Mojave is not suitable for both Spanish and Australian Juan Carlos class ships. It can not take off and land on them. I think following Turkish experience with Anadolu, some countries will follow a similar model (Brazil, S. Korea, Japan, Indonesia, Saudis etc.)

Why not?

Any reason why it could not be suitable?

They seem to be ahead of TB3.If Baykar does not hold fast enough İsmail Demir's comments on TB3 as gonna be first of it's kind will be fizzle out

Mojave is actually much older than the TB3, but their mission set don't match. This isn't an apples to apples comparison.
GA is yet to pack these innovations into the naval upgrade package they promised.

Imo it really doesn't matter if it's the first or not, with its higher payload, higher service ceiling and BLOS controls it'll find costumers even if they want to use it just like TB2. Stol and foldable wings would be just nice bonuses on top of its other qualities.

Edit: Although, if we had a ship specifically designed for using with UAVs and USVs, unlike say TCG Anadolu which we have to use with drones for now, we could offer a complete package to other countries.

Mojave provides options for forward-basing operations without the need for typical paved runways or infrastructure. It can takeoff and land from countless remote semi-improved surfaces while under pilot control via a traditional ground control station or scalable command and control laptop solution. STOL capability increases the number of employment options, potentially including aircraft carrier-based options, unlocking naval missions and sea-based support for special operations forces.

Indonesia does plan to have an " aircraft carrier " in the form of LHD. But it's likely optimized for helicopters.

Thailand has the Chakri carrier, I wonder why no active proposal from Turkiye to that country to fill in slot left by the sea harrier.

Did Naruebet launch any aircrafts in the last 20 years? Poor thing is awaiting its retirement, afaik, they have no real plans to replace it and they lost the naval aviation part of it long time ago.

Chakri is smaller than our Anadolu. Once Turkish drones proof themselves on the Anadolu chance is big that interested countries will come

This is statik platform,ships are dynamic at 3 dimension ,its too hard for landing on ships especially on bad wheather,and this make this idea as an risky and limited capability.
Isn't that factor is same for the TB-3?

Yet even planes do land, have landed since WW2 on ships. FA-18 is the main fighter jet of the US marines and followed now by F35B. So your theory doesn't add up.

Up to a certain sea state level planes and drones will be able to land
