Idiots lost their biggest customer for flirs. Aselsan needs to speed up development on CATS and DASS. But I'm betting that ban will be overturned after a few months like last time.

Seems like the embargo from Canada is back, bad news for Bayraktar. Hope they stocked up on the parts.
Honestly the ban is from October 2019 and still the Tb2 bayraktar was still used in spring shield and libya so I think they will find a solution

It’s always so funny when I see some country putting an embargo on selling a certain military tech to us during some military operation and reason it with “human rights violations” or “fueling a military conflict” etc.
Like what do you expect bruh? You are selling military tech and shiet... not candies and flowers. Should we use the weapons for taking selfies with them for Instagram or fight a war with them? 😁

my loved bros - here you see crusaders at it again -
the christo-fanatic alliance is ass-pulling out reasons again, although no form of international law has been broken - drone tech, designed for war, is used in a legally legitimate conflict - but since no Muslims are being massacred this time, the "Christo-Fascistoid-Western-Regime" is getting nervous...
it's just another big, cheap joke ...

and by now ALL OF YOU should have understood (I refer to PDF discussions) that turkey really MUST/HAS TO! produce everything independently and also independently in ALL AREAS, even down to the screw!

Looks fake for a few reasons(not professional)-too sad for their credibility if its true:
The drones belong to the Azerbaijan and operated by them (at least on paper) - so they can limit further exports to the Azerbaijan but not to Turkey.
Turkish drones, parts exported to the for use in Turkish drones didn't take place in Karabakh operations- can be easily proven by serial numbers of parts used on drones they can if interest pay a visit and check serial numbers of all cameras on installed UAVs,
Azeri drones were exported along with permissions of foreign parts, i don't think we have rights to re-export without a permission they can again check serial numbers on Azeri drones.

Apart from these, they need strong evidence to limit exports to Azerbaijan, to conclude these drones particularly used against civilians.; again pretty easy to collect reliable evidence from the scene, bomb residues -wreckage CCTV records.

So leaves 2 options, either this is fake, or they truly believes those not-making sense statements by Armenians which Turkish drones are actively operated in the operations -statements by people who is literally delusional about Turkish F-16 and high rank Turkish military personnel in the front lines-, or Azerbaijani drones used against civilians -again comes without any proof-
In fact, if the latter comes out as true it means they were simply deceived by lobbying.

Allright it came out as true and we came to a moment where Armenia's statement are counted "True" without any further requirement of proof.

They are crying , with their sensors Turkey killing people, what a stupid allegation it is. Are there not any source other than Canada, like Japan or any other country ?

Nope....we had this discussion before I believe, the Armenians have an established presence in Nagorno Karabach....as for Turkey...seriously ?....it's a well established nation of 83 million....there might be a couple of hundreds of deluded Byzantine worshippers out there but.....
- NK was Azerbaijani territory with Armenians having ethnic majority. Armenia invaded and commenced, ethnic cleansing and annexed. Not very different from what Russians did with Ukraine.
- To look it from an different angle, there are ethnic Turks living in all around Balkans. There are couple of Balkan Turks here in this forum too. Then Turkey can do the same with Balkans where ethnic Turks are majority of the population?

it is a joke, it is sad, a fucking puppet theater - it is like low-budget-70s porn... I have no words left...




source is reuters, bro...

BAYKAR did not use a domestically produced EO turret because a proper one was not available during TB2 design and development. The Aselsan ASELFLIR 300-T non-integrated turret used by T129 and ANKA was a readily available high-quality product, but with a total weight of almost 120Kg it was outside the technical envelope of the TB2.

However two next-generation EO turrets Aselsan DASS and Aselsan CATS are lightweight (under 59Kg each) falling within the TB2 technical envelope. Under development for high-end platforms (CATS will be used in AKSUNGUR), one of these technologically advanced turrets may make an excellent choice for an upgraded TB2, should an embargo force this issue.

Thus the proximate arrival of new advanced domestic EO turrets removes WESCAM MX-15D availability as an issue of practical concern. The high end Aselsan turrets may be expensive, but this is inline with the design philosophy of the TB2: a low cost platform with expensive high-end targeting capabilities.


For example:

I mean source of the sensors origin , can't Turkey use Japanese sensors?
since Japan put an embargo on AZ after 1992 - we can't buy tech. to supply AZ (that is why there was no ALTAY deal)
but anyway - it seems like we don't need western tech. anymore... aksungur and akinci already flying... look at the article I posted above
the used sensor origin is Canada, I guess the mentioned "WESCAM MX-15D "

Yup I gave warning on it last few days, the Armenian lobby is quite strong in Canada (probably 3rd strongest after US and France)...and also NDP party (which always take up these issues the most to virtue signal) is significant power control w.r.t liberal minority govt right now.

I think such kind of threat to any forum member is imprestegious and abuse of power. Language of a moderator should be polite and artful.
Couldn't have said it better myself.
I didn't know that memes weren't allowed in "serious threads" until he said so in this thread.
There's certainly no such rule in the official forum rules. So I asked him how we differentiate a "serious thread" from a "non-serious thread" and suggested he adds this information to the official forum rules.
I honestly thought it was a positive contribution on my part.
His response was to tell me not to "test his patience and follow the rules".
Go figure. :cry:

Actually I mentioned this phenomenon in another thread earlier:


In my estimation regarding NATO/West....there are only 2 reliable partners (US, France) to give you the tech reliably without the virtue signalling guilt complex blah blah stuff....esp given the tech they have given to some countries engaged in constant war.

These two will of course potentially cut the flow for political reasons that can crop up (and you guys all know this recently w.r.t Turkey)....but it wont be some BS excuse about "being used for actual war and you are killing enemies??? waaah!"

Rest you have to be very careful with in West, esp Germany, Nordics and Canada. Too much peace love dope mindset...some think the maple leaf on flag should be another kind of leaf heh.
