TR Defence Exports & Updates

[Saithan]

Remember when government forced banks to lend money disregarding proper evaluation of each persons chance of paying it back. Pure consumer, debt driven lifestyle has been promoted with government blessing, which lead to RTE begging Yildirim to come back.

$10.054 bn was last year, 29.5% increase so far, $13.300 bn possible this year.

Rutte said tens of billions worth of new contracts will be announced tomorrow. Do you think we need a thread for the summit? It's kind of a defence fair.

Some of these agreements will be about supporting Ukraine. But I agree, though. We could have had a separate thread about the NATO summit.

Majority of USD spent will be spent by countries on other countries. But surely we'll hear some big ones for us as well.

I think it was delayed due to no export permit to Pakistan. I really hoped we could provide T129 to PAF.

US refused NOC for the US origin engines

pakistan already bought chinese made attack helicopters so overall need should be met. Maybe they are not satisfied with the performance.

Only 6 delivered according to my info. Would prefer the T-129

 

[Pokemonte13]

still unlikely that they would lift the engine export control maybe with the domestic TS1400 but currently there are no plans to integrate it

 

[fushkee]

What’s the latest of TS1400 to be integrated to T-129?

I am pretty sure since J10CE's battle success, they are more than satisfied with the performance of Chinese origin systems.

It's just that, TUSAS offered very lucrative offset deal but with the Chinese, it is either buy it or leave it.

Also, since the original initiative to procure 30 ATAK, a lot has been learned in lessons from various conflicts around the globe. Which is changing some of the requirements for army aviation in general.

Only 6 delivered according to my info. Would prefer the T-129

More like 1 or 2 no? If you listen to Quwa, PA still experimenting with how their next gen rotary wing combat aviation should look like. Apparently no commitment has been made to procurement of any platform in large numbers. T129 still has some chance provided US allow engine export. However, new requirements will very likely to be added. That would necessitate new pricing negotiation over originally quoted $1.5 billions.

military's $350 million defence pact with Turkey and its stealth fighter jet ambitions​

Turkey and Egypt are transforming their diplomatic reset into a powerful defence partnership spanning arms purchases, local production, technology transfers and joint exercises as Cairo moves to fill critical gaps in its arsenal and defend its position as Africa’s strongest military in an intensifying regional arms race.

Inside the $350 million Turkey-Egypt defence pact as Africa’s most powerful military seeks its first stealth fighter

 

[Saithan]

Considering how much poison UAE is spreading, I expect Africa to potentially explode into a new warzone, Egypt-Ethiopia, or Esclation/spilover from Sudan.

Too much weapon in the hand of these countries is never a good thing.

Turkey buying friendship with arms is not a good thing, but it's better than the western countries doing the same.

At most we will sell them drones and stuff like that not any thing of real importance like advanced radar/electronic systems. Egypt is too unstable and corrupt.
