Very strange to see external hinges on a modern jet in 2025 for a 'modern' 4.5 generation jet.
Wow thats true. It does appear to have a very "rural" look with external hinges poping out.
There better design example for a dual seater side-opening clamshell canopies out there:

Can't possibly tell the impact of exposed hinges on "drag/rcs" etc but just aesthetically speaking for JF-Thunder as an export variant, it just doesn't look *neat*.

Turkish missiles don't yet exist as a product. So of course it's pl- series.
I see, that's good to know, the next thing I wonder is what engines are these equipped with, since Azerbaijan actually does have some cash maybe they opted for the WS21
