Everyone knows I'm a naysayer and that TAI have shown great flexibility on churning out versions of T625 so far; but the navalized version in only 2-3 years is probably a tiny bit optimistic. I'd say 3-4. Regardless of the need for T625N in utility and ASW versions, AB212s being retired AFAIK...

And AB212s are finally moved to "test and training" classification, will be gone soon.

Many ways to view this. One I subscribe to is that this is Greek lobbyists not exerting pressure but showing to their constituents that they are working on it. Everyone knows S400 is still in Turkey and that at this time transfer of F-35s is still illegal. Don't know what happened last week with...

Let's just wait and see......

As this was not a FMS sale, we don't have the details. Doubt these will be license built; but probably assembled here?

I shared it in FoPo topic but this has so many possible results that we can actually discuss it under 5 different topics. This was a big claim, Rusian say discussions continue. But it looks like something big is afoot.

Only information we have is the number of ready to fire missiles in the launchers, which we cam surmise from the number of canisters. Even then, we know that first deliveries were made with lighter loads as it took some time for the missile production to ramp up. System/battery level reloads...

Selvi writes that the S400s are going to be offloaded to a Gulf country, likely UAE or Qatar. Interesting.

"- At the same time, Turkey is continuing its efforts to develop a completely domestically produced engine. Officials consider a timeline after 2035 to be more realistic in terms of mass production."...

Material realities don't care about plans. We saw the first instances of 2035 being iterated by reporters yesterday.
