T129 over at TurkSom. Not clear, but stub wings remind me of T129B2, and livery is clearly KKK. Probably transferred?

Multiple Ejder 6x6s at Kayseri 2. ABFM, including those with Georgian camo. We haven't saw any Georgian Ejders in years. I wonder if they are being serviced here or were returned and being refurbished to be sold to other countries. One on the left both have the Georgian camo and the more recent sand color on rear door.

The UAE-backed semi-autonomous Puntland state administration in northern Somalia seized a ship containing armored vehicles belonging to an unnamed country.

MBZ was in Ankara a few days ago and signed 7 agreements. This is how he thanked Erdogan.

Let's see if they will get TB2/Akinci treatment.

The most only thing that of value is the radio the rest is just money

 

[No Name]

Do you mean the Jammer?

wait was their a jammer on board if so that is really bad.

didn't the ship have any military personal to guard it, those waters are know for piracy after all?

 

[Pokemonte13]

Do you mean the Jammer?

i mean the radio equipment if their is any on the vehicles and jammer is not really that worthy much but encrypted communications thats worth something if it has any

 

[Pokemonte13]

What im wondering what jandarma gets as a replacement for these vehicle maybe ural

not good

Not good for the enemy

Turkiye is engaging directly in the air in Somalia, taking its most significant step to date in its military presence there. Turkish F-16s are conducting operations over Mogadishu, marking a clear shift from training and supporting the country's military to directly projecting air power onto Somali soil.

This better be worth it. Our airforce and hardware is already at maximum capacity.

From what I've heard the Somalian troops have been good trainees, so my hopes are high that a little bit of air support will go a long way

 

[Zafer]

With all the drone force we already have I was surprized to see F16 be deployed in Somalia. Probably it is not just for a few targets in our area of interest but the entire country that gets coverage. In any case Somalia is in talks with Pakistan to buy fighters and the Anka3 is likely counting down to get into the action. We may ground the F16 soon if we need to.

Both Turkish trained Gorgor and US trained Danab are fighting tooth and nail with some wins and defeats but it is basically trying to swim against the current.

And it's not "Somalians", correct word is "Somalis".

I wouldn't be surprised if we see more small F16 deployments as Kizilelma enters the inventory, we would be at the forefront of real MUT (manned-unmanned teaming) experience.

Of course, we'll need to wait for Kaan for fully fledged MUT, but we can get a lot of experience with F16 Özgür

Its sending a message to uae and israel.

Another headache is those al shabab bastards. F16 is a force mutliplier thats gonna destroy them so bad at the same timee those terrorists are gonna do their best to destroy one especially with suicide attacks.
