There is in theory, not in pratice. All the signs show that the people in charge are waiting for the earthquake to level the city so they can rebuild whats left of it afterward, sadly. There doesn't even seem to be a proper effort to move the industry out of Istanbul(or Marmara region) as well.

There was lots of talks about we can only build T70's till certain year and after that we have to renew the agreement.(which requires a congress approval) With quick search I could only found below article which states the deadline as AUG24. (There was lots of more detailed information...

Isn't the reason we can't produce more T70s not because of CAATSA but because the license in the original agreement expired? Also, they have just started negotiations? Guess no good news coming from T925 development.

Understood. So why is there a 2 different models? Will there be a 2 different(or more) hulls of OPV's with different mission profiles(like hi-lo mix or something else) or is there a mistake with one of the models?(Like outdated model (with Ada shaped) or misunderstanded model(with Istif shaped) )

It seems Dearsan model is based on Ada, Desan model is based on Istif. I am really wondering what will be the end products look like and how will the OPV fleet shaped.

So back to Ada bridge(or form) instead of Istif one?

So it isn't twisting it lke"It is not 280k cuffs, it is 280k day of usage", it is an actual practice. I am not sure which one is worst.

How do you go tender for day of usage? How does that work exactly? Do police rents those electronic cuffs instead of buying them? If yes, why?

We really seem to be going for production line in Turkiye. This would be great for both companies. Also we might get to be able to customize Embraer aircraft more easily with the agreements and build the aircraft we want.(Like MPA, AWACS, test aircrafts etc) Might even leads to joint production...

FNSS PARS Alpha air defence concept might been materialized.

If both vehicles uses the same engine and common parts(within reasonable percentage commonality), it will be logistically attractive for Poland as well. They could go for Alpar after that.

If we can return to the production and maintenance ecosystem, it will be worth it even if we can't use them as we like. We can use F35 to compare Kaan and increase its capabilities.(like using F35 capabilities as a benchmark) In the meantime we will make money through maintenance and part...

Yes if they want to use their own budgets. If they want to use EU funds(which most of the EU countries prefers) they are practically limited to EU countries for procurement.

The army probably wants 1,000 tanks, that's for sure. But I think that after the first batch of 250 Altay tanks, the rest of the orders will wait for the Altay T3 (or will be decided after the T3 roadmap becomes clearer). In the meantime, they seem to want to make do with Altay and upgraded tanks.

Hopefully we start apply this package to tanks now. I am not gonna get my hopes up until I see the upgraded tanks on the field.(I will not even bother with the test site footage as well)
