So i'm curious, if i could find images of Turkey's TRM's. The only one i saw was for Ozgur, that Tile architecture. But how about the others ? Particularly S-Band or other frequency.

STR700, ALP300G and ALP100G all use the same S band TRM and building block with 32 TRM each. ALP500G is probably also going to use the same TRM and Blocks.

Actually it comes at 120 Blocks of 32 TRM each for 3840 TRM for the ALP-300G. The 4000+ figure may actually include the IFF array too?

Indian bureaucracy is slow and its reason for existence is basically to throw a wrench in any sort of project. Turkish (political) managers are one of the best and don't allow any such buffoonery.

Besides their bureaucracy, their military leadership is also to blame because foreign acquisition provides a lot of opportunity to receive bribes as opposed to domestic projects. You should've seen how Indian netizens tore a previous head of their artillery to pieces on twitter for daring to open his mouth at the poor state of their SPG capability (for which he was responsible).

IMO the bribe thing is why they are now going for a Pantsir cooperation with the Russians while their own QRSAM is more or less ready for serial production.

SLV is where they shine. The rest is bull****

TL;DR Indians are utterly inept, the Turks in comparison (at least for the last two decades) are the polar opposite.

Thats fair and true, though the fast pace of development from parts supplier to full blow project with working prototypes is impressive, as the Turkish aerospace industry seems relatively younger and didnt count with the benefit the indians had with the British setting up subsidiaries of British aerocompanies in the country

The development started in 1974 with the pace gradually picking up speed to what it is today.

Also today's super computing+simulation software also shortens development time. Decades long designing experience is not needed as much today as it was in the past. Also some of the most important CEO's and managers have extensive experience abroad mainly in the West. Turkiye's economic development of the past 2 decades lured some of them back and now they are spearheading the development boom.

Spectacular footage of a Turkish F-4E Terminator 2000 fighter jet, made in the US, has been released. The F-4E Terminator 2000 fighter jet is in a special livery dedicated to the 50th anniversary of the aircraft's operation in the Turkish Air Force. The McDonnell Douglas F-4 Phantom II fighter jet was created in the US in the late 1950s, and production of the aircraft was completed in 1981. The Turkish Air Force has been using F-4 fighter jets since 1974 and has upgraded the aircraft several times. F-4 aircraft are currently in service with the Air Forces of Iran, Greece, South Korea and Turkey.
