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, 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Different versions of the EJDER YALÇIN and YÖRÜK tactical wheeled armored vehicles developed by Nurol Makina were exhibited during the Kecskemét Airshow 2021 event held in Hungary between 28-29 August.

At the event, the version of EJDER YALÇIN, which entered the inventory of the Hungarian Defense Forces under the name GIDRAN, and the Ambulance version took place. YÖRÜK, which was introduced as NMS abroad, was exhibited with a camouflage pattern similar to that of GIDRAN.

I remember the Defense Minister of IRAQ visiting FNSS earlier this year.


"by FNSS to Minister Saadoonn; A presentation was made about the prominent products of the company such as KAPLAN Weapon Carrier Vehicle, PARS Weapon Carrier Vehicle and PARS Tactical Wheeled Armored Vehicle Family, which are preferred by the Turkish Armed Forces and the armed forces of other allied countries.

It was observed that Minister Saadoonn showed great interest in KAPLAN and PARS type Weapon Carrier Vehicles."
