I will reply to you here as I did not want to take that thread off topic.
I am afraid despite all your radar claims, Turkey has little to show for it in practise . Most of what I can see are
future projects. As far as Iran is concerned, it has produced many AESA type radars already in various bands, so whether
you consider it a player in the radar field is frankly irrelevant.
I am sorry to say this dear, but I expected more of a challenge from you instead of baseless accusations. Iran has produced long ranged air defence systems indigenously, a capability which is far beyond Turkey's at this present time. Care to explain me what this "60-70 year old foreign systems" the Bavar-373 shown below is from?

Furthermore, speaking of reverse engineering in general, Iran had to start from somewhere. Unlike Turkey which had the luxury of importing technology from NATO and assemble et cetera, Iran could not. It was the pragmatic decision to start off with known systems and then move on to designing. This is a natural learning curve which should be obvious for anyone.
You are resorting to these self-claimed "most experienced" statement. Iran has a multitude of IR sensors, you are essentially just making accusations without substance.
Care to show evidence of these tests of the ballistic missiles. What guidance systems do these used, do you have inertial guidance systems for ballistic missiles?
Where is the proof for this claim? From what I can see, Turkey is merely assembling the German submarines.
This is getting almost satirical now. Iran
designs its own submarine, something which you have not demonstrated. You are basically comparing a German made submarine to Iranian submarines.
You're once again talking about some future project, stick to the capabilities you have
today.
Iran is developing nuclear reactor engines for submarines and ships. It is also one of the, if not the first nation to use BLDC electric propulsion for submarines.Iran is also developing AIP and large submarines, I will not discuss them because they are future capabilities. But regardless, I am sorry but you're not close to Iran in the submarine arena.
According to whom? Provide sources for these claims.
Iran's airforce leaves much to be desired.
Iran's navy is growing and at least, it relies solely on its own subcomponents such as engines. which engines do Turkish frigates use?

1) Iranian electronic industry managed to hack and bring down the RQ-170, a capability far beyond what likes of Turkey have demonstrated in practise.
2) The shooting down of the airliner had nothing to do with Iran's electronic capability. The systems in question was a Tor-M1 working independently.
3) Warship issue was due to the test of a new autonomous seeker. I am afraid such things can happen. Last I Checked, the Americans are also vulnerable to such issues. I doubt anyone has more experience in the military sector than them, if they are susceptible, then rest of us will be too.
You are using these incidents out of proper context.
These issues can occur anywhere:

You choose the strategy based on needs, so your statement is basically like saying "You drink water when thirsty".
"except some", I hope you realise those capabilities alone highlight a true, robust and serious offensive arm. Here, listen to the Israeli expert Uzi Rubin regarding Iran's war missiles/drone strategies:
Although Turkey has produced some items of good quality, I'd advise you not to get carried away. You are still far from being able to produce some of those capabilities Iran has for example designing own submarine, producing long range air defence, long range ballistic missiles, long range cruise missiles, jet powered stealthy UCAV etc. Furthermore, Turkey has far to go in becoming self sufficient in the engine sector, ranging from navy to aerospace.
Frankly, one could say exactly the same regarding Turkey. Much of these claims that Turks (alone) make regarding their capability is just that,
claims.
