Well that's weird.

Turkish drones look into places all the time. It might be as usual as following a traffic stop, supporting a special forces operation, or even prepatory actions for a larger operation. There's no way to know.

S-400 is not really effective against these threat types and more importantly Turkish S400s are not deployed or possibly even operational. At best they are staying in hangars and our operators are not trained in real conditions; at worst, they are sitting still gathering dust. He doesn't. He...

It doesn't actually. Just that there's nothing concrete so far.

"United States Department of State Washington, D.C. 20520 August 20, 2025 The Honorable Chris Pappas House of Representatives Washington, DC 20515 Dear Mr. Pappas: Thank you for your August 7 letter to Secretary Rubio regarding the Countering America's Adversaries Through Sanctions Act (CAATSA)...

Only if we could actually see it in action after 10 years. Until then, it doesn't exist and such twin 35mms stay, so no realistic emplacement of missiles next to guns.

FACs are multi use platforms, this isn't.

TRLG-122 on a Unimog on sea target. I think we can miniaturize this a bit more. forgot the link:

Flyaway cost is only like 1/5 of an aircraft's actual cost. There are multiple metrics to figure this out and project some numbers, these metrics include even the fuel burned and the inflation in to the mix to come up with a lifecycle cost. Canadian budget office came to 74 billion CAD for 88...

Hardly, we have ballistic missiles that carry at least 2 times the TNT value in service today. We plan to introduce ones that carry 5 times that. Gazap is the largest and most destructive conventional bomb we can use from our puny F-16s, that's it. A thermobaric bomb is not a strategic threat...

FLIR there should be retractable; and even if not, it can simply be removed for special usecases like sending bunker busters and thermobaric bombs. If we have air superiority to send a slow moving non maneuverable drone like Akıncı over an area, we can send a TB2 as well to lase the target...

Nope. Nothing new so far after the MoU that was signed in Idef. Detailing and finalizing the deal still can take a lot of time.

Not every company is equal, 80% of those are workshop level companies, merdiven altı as we say. ATA and Armsan were pretty solid and large companies, with more than 50 years each under their belts. ATA was spending big and was also trying to enter real estate business to diversify few years...

So much going on in this. Networked autonomous fires system // AGMOSS LUMTAS-GM lased to its target by a quadcopter released by a UGV, Pusu autonomously moving to firing position. All controlled by the Kaplan STA. Creates so many possibilities to engage targets from 0-20kms in COIN and peer...
