Are we sending TCG Istanbul with Hisars? Did the Navy find the Hisars' performance sufficient, or is the fleet's defense left to Gökdeniz and RIM 166? This is like a new ship tour. I mean I like that the task force has been formed by these ships but I think it is early to do that if the VLS'...

"Meanwhile, as I mentioned earlier, approval/licensing has been obtained for the T70 TGMHP second package, and it can be said that 2026 will see the production and delivery of the second batch of T70s... May it be auspicious...." So it seems that the second batch licensing issue for the T70...

I am just wild guessing but is it possible that the drone we "pulverized" was the big one that act as a relay for these Orlans? Once we shot it down, these ones also get downed by themselves as well?(after a little bit of time off course) This might explain the range question. (If I am...

Actually I am more leaning towards to mixed fleet with CN295 and C27. I think they will complement each other well. CN295 is longer but has less height, while the C27 is shorter but has greater height.(Also there is a slight MTOW difference as well) This could strengthens the air force’s hand...

Wonder if we also consider the C27s after the C130Js? They use the same engine (different variants, though I'm not sure how different they are), we have good relations with Italy in the aviation sector, and they can reduce the C130's workload for loads that are just outside the C235's capacity...

No. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ For a while, and possibly in the foreseeable future, ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ will be the answer to all questions related to Air Force procurements.

Luckily, we didn't sell tracked vehicles to Hungary.(Like Ejder) This would be even more tragic.

Also you need to arrange raw materials flow, subsystems, barrels, optics etc to keep up with the hull production as well. Setting that up also takes time. Hopefully this and saving Altay delivery announcement for the 29OCT reception is the real reason for the delay.

At this point, it’s really hard not to feel like something’s seriously wrong with the Altay. Like you said, they could’ve just announced that the tanks are in service. Even if they’re not fully ready yet, as long as they met the basic requirements, that would’ve been fine( like what we did with...

So we also have 2 heavyweight torpedo programs as well.(after two ramjet long range missile program) I don't know what to say other than " ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ "

if Kaan matures a bit more and we solve the engine problem, why not? The Kaan project currently consists mostly of good wishes and intentions. For Spain(countries that alternative options to select) to get interested in Kaan, the project needs to show results or at least a good progress. Kaan...

I hate this kind of videos. I'd liked to see clear, uninterrupted shots instead of constant cuts in every second.

It really is funny when you are not living in it.

The F-35 project isn’t exactly famous for being well-managed, though.

I mean, at this point, maybe we should just call up Boeing and pitch the idea of rebooting the F-4 production in Tusas.(just for 30-40 frames) We’ll change the engines with F404, license just the shell, and stuff the rest with our own gear. Wonder how hard it will be to convince Boeing? Cost...
