No I think that's targeting sensors and flir is placed above
Bcoz there seems to be 2 sensors below the nose and above the nose
I think they have given a stealth cover over irst to reduce rcs
One above- IRST and one below- EOTS.

I am saying it's not like f-35 eots
Where both irst and targeting sensor are combined
its like f35 eots, but less advanced. The upper eots[irst] helps to track upper hemisphere where lower eots cant reach. f35 das also act like irst sensor, but tfx lacks such capability.[for now].
F35 eots is a advanced version of sniper xr which is similar to litening, and tfx bottom etos also having same function. Don't forget rafale having two eots- tv & iir.

What design does hurjet follow ?
Like Tejas is a cranked delta
What is hurjet ?
The F-16 Falcon wing design. Kinda makes sense if you think about it. They have been manufacturing F-16s for several decades and know that wing design inside and out.

- 1,200 engineers are working on TF-X, the number will rise to 2,500.

- Its radar will be 'very powerful', it will be able to see targets very far away.

They can't manufacture it unless until US allows. Tech will come from US.
The way the relationship is going, I don’t think Turkey will give a shit about what US wants or not. Besides the IP rights to such technology will have expired by now.
