We must keep Ukraine as a good friend and strategic ally because they have a lot of tech and knowhow that we need. Hell, we should even give them all aid and help that they need. They are very inmportant for the development of our defence industry.

There is no country in the world that signed so much deals with us than Ukraine.

Bayraktar TB2 was exhibited at the military parade held in celebration of the 30th anniversary of Turkmenistan's independence day. Thus, it was confirmed that it was exported to Turkmenistan.

Yes, but it's important that we also deliver these T129. I'm still waiting to hear of our delivery to Philippines.

7 years for building 18 howizer?

No, when negotiating the budget for 2023-2028 it was firmly decided that the purchase should be completed before 2028.

Good article on the real heroes in most drone operations in Syria, Libya and Azerbaijan.

Turkey’s Electronic Warfare Capabilities: The Invisible Power Behind its UACVs

Turkey’s advanced electronic warfare systems have played a critical role in Ankara’s recent involvements in several regional theatres.

rusi.org

These new developments mean that Ankara is now open to exporting the KORAL. Several news platforms claimed that Ankara signed a $50.7 million contract to sell the KORAL EWS to Morocco’s Royal Armed Forces. Last August, a report indicated that the Royal Army of Oman was mulling the possibility of buying the Turkish-made EWS. At the end of that month, Iraq’s Defence Minister Jouma Saadoun reportedly expressed his country’s willingness to purchase Turkish-made military equipment, including TB2 UACVs, 12 T-129 ATAK helicopters and six KORAL EWSs.

Very interesting. I wonder if it is some kind of dumbed down export version and if libraries are going together with the system.

İsmail Demir and a delegation accompanying him went to Baghdad today to develop cooperation with Iraq in the field of defense. As far as I can see, TAI and Aselsan CEOs are also in meetings.

They should have delivered 2 type of FABs i think, 33 and 20 meters.
There are strong signs that the F141 by dearsan is preparing to be built in Turkmenistan after the second C92.

Dearsan is a private shipyard right ? It's impressive how they manage to land these contracts and deliver and live up to expectations. My wish is for Dearsan to have more export success. If BD, Libya could be customers that would be pretty nice.

They possibly had some good business relations in Turkmenistan from the past, combined with their initiative and past references they have been awarded.
What is more strange Turkmenistan is operating some turkish weapons even before than the Turkish Navy does. Gokdeniz and likely the CFR of the CAFRAD in the future frigate.

I think it's proof that the systems are operational, but it's our own politicians that stall the proces for one reason or another.

Look at how many times Greece has released news of acquisition. I think it's purely political that we haven't built 12 Ada class already and armed them accordingly.

I think they will first get the 2 hulls by end of 2023, meanwhile test and adapt the hot-install. Later 10 hulls will be built at once.
I think it is better if it goes silent than with a fancy show.
If only Ada-I- TF were the only needs by 2025,nonethless they are urgent. Different companies are also developing-improving unmanned systems and trying to adapt them into the strategy.
In the end the navy is not being formed to counter a single adversary but to have a decent navy with sufficient capabilities and being future-proof.

"We visited Baghdad with the representatives of our defense industry companies. We made important contacts to increase the cooperation between our country and Iraq.

I would like to thank my colleague Muhammed Derraci and his delegation for their sincere hospitality."


Iraq is serious in getting Turkish weapons...
