Otokar announced a deal worth 1.47 billion USD to deliver various wheeled armored vehicles to an undisclosed country. Great sale, though we don't know to whom. It must be either Kazakhstan or possibly a gulf nation. Kuwait or finally the follow up Rabdan order from UAE?

Another nice deal to an undisclosed country. It coincided with ADEX, but there was no talk of such a sale to Azerbaijan yesterday. Not too big of an amount and not too small, could be anyone really.

"ASELSAN has signed a sales contract with a total value of EUR 488.5 million for the export of air defence systems to an overseas end-user."

Is it me or is tusas a bit lost. No way they manage to reach those numbers.

Tactical UAV: 10.000 (!)
I guess they mean Super Şimşek, Ayaz vs.
Other than that, numbers are pretty realistic.

But at least we’ve learned about their plans.
That’s very interesting.

They sure love talking big about production and then falling short. How many Aksungurs or T129 or Anka have they delivered in how many years? 150+ Kaan in 2035? Nobody even ordered 200 Hürjet or 150 Hürkuş yet. I wouldn't take anything they say about production numbers seriously, at all.

This is mostly a message to countries that have shown interest. Merely stating the projected production force/rate capacity of TAI.
I could see new orders to follow shortly.

Bro, quantities on most items there, are the quantities that we need. But to achieve them within that time frame is a bit far fetched.
Heck! They are running over a year late even with the first flight of Kaan‘s P1 prototype.
They promised to start delivering Kaan with TF35K engine (an engine that is it self not even existent yet) to Indonesia in 2032. That means until 2032 they have to produce at least 6 flying prototypes of Kaan. Carry out all necessary tests and then manufacture 40 actual usable aircrafts with F110 engines for TurAF. So that leaves 110 aircrafts to be produced between 2032 and 2035. That means over 36 Kaans per year.
Having seen how well Mr Demiroglu holds his promises, does not instil any confidence in anything Tusas says anymore. And 36 KAANs per year is just not achievable. They are insulting our intelligence.
Biggest joke is t129 Atak. It is already reached the target. 95 units already been delivered to operators.
58 units of 59 ordered to Turkish land forces
16 units to Turkish Gendarmerie
9 units to Turkish Police
6 units to Philippines
6 units to Nigeria
have already been delivered.
1 more delivery to Turkish land forces will complete that contract soon.
There is a contract worth 600 million dollars from Bangladesh for 6 T129 helicopters.
That covers the total target even before they start putting a target. What a joke.
First serial production of Atak was started in 2009. And first delivery was realised in 2014. Since then, if you take away 9 early delivery helicopters, in 12 years they have manufactured 86 helicopters. (Averaging 7 helicopters per year) . Now they are saying they will manufacture 200 Gokbey helicopters in 9 years. (56 of them being navalised)
TEI currently manages 2 T700 engines per month for the Blackhawks. Will they be able to manufacture 440 engines in 9 years? that is 48 + engines per year. 130 of these will have to be navalised engines.(an engine type TEI have never manufactured)

That production rate is less due to slowness, but more due to low numbers of helicopters. Which is understandable, not many countries out there buy attack helicopters. Except for AH-64, every modern attack helicopter out there can be classed as export failures by most metrics. AFAIK, TAI didn't face any delays in T129 delivery to any users for the last decade.
