TR Defence Exports & Updates

Looks like FNSS has struck luck ever since they got rid of their British co-owners.

619 vehicles, that has to be at least 2-3m per piece - huge contract.

Is the contract signed?

 

[what]

No, nothing official so far.

First there has to be a tender, and they will have to win the tender first. But most likely good chances of winning.

Has anyone joined that Italian forum to see what the actual source is?

Italians are unlikely to find anything more competitive than Bayraktar in terms of price-effectiveness.
But the quantity is simply fantastic - 1300!!! Even the Saudis buy 10 times less.
You need to search on the Internet: “Italians have discovered colossal oil deposits near Rome?”

For 1300 drones I would expect rather a smaller drone than TB-2.

Why didnt you?

 

[boredaf]

Why didnt you?

Because I don't care enough to do it mate. There is no other mention of it anywhere else, so it looks like someone in a forum said something and twitter ran with it.

If you use rationality or logic this ''1300 drones'' amount can only be true if Italy produces them for all EU countries.
Btw,if so it can never be the TB-2,maybe they will develope a new better/bigger one.
For European standards the TB-2 isnt enough.

As long as the engine on that drone is also produced fully in Türkiye, I don't care what they develop. the capability to make it must be in Türkiye as well. producing and exporting elsewhere shouldn't be hindered by EU politics.

of course some components that are EU could be a hindrance.

If you make it in the EU,the EU countries wont object to buying it but if you do it in Türkiye,many(Western European countries) will not want any just because of that.

Right! But „indigenous“ companies are preferred. And as the German foreign minister said 2 days ago, we will pay all the military stuffs

 

[what]

Yeah, we might see some looser tender rule enforcements in the near future. One of the reasons why Europe is lacking behind, is bureaucracy after all.

Denmark has already made moves to remove the hurdles and given the Highest ranked officer responsible for the armed forces powers to requisition stuff, the parliament still wants to be involved in the decisions, so even then they don't want the Generals doing all the purchases without consulting the Parliament.

Kinda wise decision especially if the General has a US fetish, or Israel fetish of sorts.
