2 Istifs are not sold yet. And there's hardly a market for DDGs out there; countries usually make those themselves. Only ones I remember are the Chinese Sovremennys and the Taiwanese Kidds. If a country needs and can operate a DDG, they can usually simply make it themselves. No customer of ours...

In 15 years we can expect at least 4 DDGs; even 6-8 if they order them back to back like Istifs. On DPO's own drawings and models we saw Hürjet, KE and Anka-3. That wasn't a company presentation; it's the navy itself. All can be made available in 15 years.

No, it just looks like one. Like how Aselpod looks like Litening.

It's not a show per se. More complicated. But it is true that old units are being reclassed as commando units. Most of our active commando brigades are not actually "commandos"; they are light(er) infantry. No more motorized infantry in the ranks, they're all commando now. With 8x8 and tank...

Only missing the OGM T70 here. T70s of (left to right) army, gendarme and air force together.

Probably, that's what they usually do.

Secretary general's job isn't to create policy; it's to keep everyone on a near footing. His biggest job is keeping Trump happy, Erdoğan in check and Orban non relevant. He's honestly doing a great job so far. I applaud the guy.

Nazis lost and all those subs were sunk by superior air power and convoy tactics; and they lost the war because allies could simply build more than what nazis could sink. Lesson here isn't "build more subs", it's "don't be at war with a land superpower and US at the same time" --- None of what's...

Navy has been studying SSNs for a decade and have been writing about them openly for 3-4 years. Nükden was presented last year. You're aware that France!! is a UN security council permanent member and a nuclear triad owner for about 60 years, right?

It's Baykar's world. Interestingly K2s are numbered, PT1, PT2, PT3, S4 and S5.

There's no point to do all that without a carrier on top. Tepe Class is built around the radar suite. It was a 6500 ton ship 5-7 years ago with 48-64 cells. It grew more in size due to navy requirements. In a hot war 48 cells will be enough for a single engagement, they will burn through...

I have another road I want to mention here. For Anadolu, Sedef used Navantia's design and Sedef was the main contractor. This new deal is directly between navy and Navantia, cutting Sedef out. Because Navantia provided direct expertise to Sedef; Navantia was on paper the junior partner but in...

Navantia and Navy shipyards command signed a deal for Anadolu's further maintenance. "Signed on 8 April in Ankara, the agreement establishes a flexible contractual structure enabling the Turkish Navy to procure maintenance, repair and technical services from Navantia on a periodic or as-needed...

Trump declared a blockade for every ship passing through the strait no matter their original port of call. This is more than what Germans did in 1915 or 1940 against UK. It's what Houthis did in 2023-25. That was piracy. This is also piracy.

There's no pipeline project on horizon to revert all gulf oil via pipelines; it's impossible as well.
