Turbine inlet temperature
F-110-GE-129 = 1510 °C
F-135 = 1980 °C
The F-135 engine runs at 1980 degrees, meaning a very high heat signature. The F35 has structural cooling to reduce this signature.
However, with this cooling, the heat signature still cannot decrease to the level of the F110.
F110 works at lower temperatures than F135. This means that it is close to F35 in terms of heat signature.

Critics of the F-35 claim that while its stealth design denies its detection by radars, infrared imagers can easily spot the aircraft at long range, by its heat signature
KAAN with F-110 Engine

If KAAN has a structural cooling system (I know it does), its heat signature would be even lower.
SUPERCRUISE Capability
-- F-35 cannot do supercruise
-- KAAN can not do supercruise with F-110 Engine
TECHNOLOGY
-- BURFIS AESA Radar with GaN technology ... ( 2.000+ T/R modules )
-- with AI-enhanced battlefield awareness ( 360° situational awareness with 4 AESA radars - sensor fusion with EOTS , IRST with unique configuration )
-- high-capacity networking , AI, data fusion
-- excellent EW capabilities with ASELSAN FEWS -- Fighter Electronic Warfare Suite
-- Increased-range BVR Missile (GOKHAN ramjet powered long range networked a2a missile )
-- full data-to-decision (D2D) capability for multi-layered distributed team of diverse manned aircraft working in concert with unmanned types ( KAAN , ANKA-3, KIZILELMA )
-- DIRCM Directed Infrared Countermeasure System by high power LASER
( Only KAAN and SU-57 )
-- HMDS (Helmet Display System) with AI-enhanced battlefield awareness
( Only KAAN and F-35 )
Stealth DESIGN and Composite Material
--Internal weapon bay for stealth flight capability
-- RAM ( Radar Absorber Material )
KAAN with advanced magnetic coating and RAM panel layer it could RCS value for X band 10GHz as 0.003 m2 [ -25dbsqm ]
Air inlet Ducts : KAAN has S routing duct to hide Engine comprassor blades from direct enemy radar signals .. it can be also RAM coating on inner surface of duct
RCS improved to 0.003 m2 [ -25dbsqm ] for the KAAN achieved balance against the F-35 in head to head engagement
Also KAAN has IRST could perform a contribution to engage to F-35 beyond the 34 km

We remind that KAAN assumptions in the calculation are taken in worst value.
RESULT
If F35 is a 5th generation with F-135 Engine
KAAN is also a 5th generation with the F-110 Engine
