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.

It's also directly piracy. Stopping and then boarding 3rd party neutral ships who are not related to the conflict at hand is piracy.

To clarify, no LST is currently in production. As I understand it in the last SSİK, it was decided that two more Bayraktars would be procured. They are not yet ordered. So they are not in production. We talked about this 2 months ago. Currently Bayraktar Class LSTs don't have a hangar, only a...

"Turkiye to take part in US Africa Command's military exercise Operation Flintlock this month - part will be held for 1st time in Libya Turkiye has taken part before - but seems significant w/ Libya saying its participation supports 'the unification of the military institution'"

Anadolu is not a supercarrier, it's an LHD. In wartime she won't send out sorties of fixed wing aircraft left and right; she will send helicopter groups. Sortie generation and spacing is a problem for all carriers. TB3 launch and retrieval operations can take up to 15-20 minutes for each...

Maybe then we wouldn't need to offload the near completed Istifs...

TAI and ENAER, Chile's national airspace company signed an MoU to work on UAVs. Anka and Aksungur models on the table. Chile does have a huge EEZ and a Chinese fishing ships problem they are trying to curb.

HAVELSAN, VN Maritime and Piloda Defence: strategic agreement for the production of manned, unmanned and hybrid surface platforms in Italy. https://www.havelsan.com/en/news/havelsan-vn-maritime-and-piloda-defence...

They probably delivered more missiles. Aselsan has Siper, Roketsan delivers the rockets.

Regarding the new big boy, there have been no info released as far as i can see. Fatih says the same as well. Have fun counting pixels to figure out dimensions but it won't be anything official.

I'm sure Macedonians will get 1-4 T625s. It won't mean much for the future of the program. Civil certification will be what makes or breaks the long term success of TAI's helicopter division; whether it will be few models with 50-100+ produced each or a successful long time line that can pay for...

Nope, just one part of the system that stopped the Russian advances on its track. They are only one of the reasons why Russians are stuck in the east 4 years later.
