Turkiye and Iraq signed a Memorandum of Understanding on Strategic Cooperation in the Defense Industry.

All of gulf countries like Kuwait, Qatar and KSA will also be stakeholders in this logistics system very soon. For the friendly states to the south of us, a secure and stable connection with Europe depends on the TAF guarantee. Everyone will realize this sooner or later.

I agree, if the third block will be officially requested, it can be accompanied by some changes in the configuration of the main mast etc. But I am personally satisfied with the decision to immediately building the second block production without wasting time.

I hope there will be a decision also on third block before 2028-2030 period. Especially after the construction of the second block, the I-class could become one of the fastest frigate building programs in the world, thanks to parallel-production capability. While the destroyer program can...

Autonomous drones with AESA radar and IFF interrogators in their avionics package, capable of engaging in close air combat carrying air-to-air missiles, will radically change all doctrinal approaches in combat aviation.

The T-625 should have already started to be derived as a light-medium naval utility/ASW helicopter, similar to the AW159 Wildcat concept. It may not be as heavy-duty as the Seahawks, but we could have solved this by inducting it into the inventory in much larger numbers. Ministries can wait a...
