TR Defence Exports & Updates

[Anastasius]

lol.. I remember when they joined in with other European countries to impose an arms embargo on Turkey. Their defence industry is abysmal, their only saving grace is their CZ small arms & Vodochody. Anyway, good step nonetheless

Czech firearms are actually REALLY good and considered world-class in quality. The rest of their stuff is admittedly kinda subpar but if Turkish companies are smart, they'll utilize this opportunity to tap some valuable expertise from the Czech side regarding small-arms production.

What I find interesting is the comment about the US. He didn't need to mention anything about US-Turkish relations as it is not important but he did. I think Czechia might have had a falling out of their own with the US and this is sending our government a message.

They should send crates of the CZ Bren as a gift to the Turkish armed forces as a way of saying sorry for the arms embargo.

Italy joined the project early on and is considered a partner. Everyone else got the export version meaning Turkey is getting the same steel as Greece?

Yes, but we are applying our own RAM blocks on top of it.

Yes, but we are applying our own RAM blocks on top of it.

What are RAM blocks in this context? An additional layer of material on the sub?

 

[TheInsider]

Yes, a shell made of fiberglass, carbon fiber, RAM coating, and RAM paint is covered on top of the submarine. It also decreases the acoustic signature of the submarine. It is top secret and national. Aselsan developed it with Hacettepe University and produced it at Aselsan facilities.

Milgem Ada class corvette offered to PAF.

PN looking to acquire 2x for 550 mio usd

 

[TheInsider]

We can get it. 275 million $ per ship is a lot of money. If political reasons don't affect the decision there is no way other bidders could beat us. We can offer a lot more than the others.

Mapping The Rise of Turkey’s Hard Power, Part 2: Domestic Industry - New Lines Institute

As Turkey focuses on hard power, it is working to become less dependent on outside sources of weapons and materiel. Although Ankara is beefing up its military capabilities, it will not depend solely on hard power to achieve its goals.

Any reports from turkish media about morocco acquiring t129 atak helicopters, and eyder yalcin vehicles?

 

[TheInsider]

There is definitely an interest on the Moroccon side but an export license for LHTEC engines is needed for the export of T-129 Atak. IMO Ejder Yalçın can be sold anytime. Morocco is also interested in acquiringing TB2s.

I see. A little bit weird since morocco is waiting for 36 apache. I tought morocco already ordered 13 tb2?

 

[TheInsider]

You are right it seems like Morocco ordered 13 TB2s. At this point, there is a big waiting line for TB2s. Negotiations are going on with a dozen countries.

 

[what]

If we could get the approval for the Philippines for T129 because it had a low contract value and could be passed without congress approval. Why not with Morocco? Whats the limit for congress to decide?

6 for the Philippines were approved. Trick the Yanks and sell them in multiple packages and deals over time.
