It's a distributed mobile system that can be relocated in a matter of tens of minutes. It's an increased risk to all of our air assets. It's not a "doomsday" scenario, it's here today and will make all our business there whether in peace or in war much harder. It increases the risk of a...
Possible configuration of the Romanian Hisar, with 8 cell vls in place of the DSH rocket launcher, 8 NSMs, 2 Phalanx(?!), Gokdeniz and Smart-S(?). It's not a great drawing, but possibly illustrative.
We could already do all of that, Azerbaijan is a user. Knowing things about stuff doesn't make them less threatening. And it's vice versa, they can learn many things via that radar as well; it's very potent.
Meltem flights go over North Cyprus every week, what will we do when these become...
Finally able to see the poster next to it, it's a sales pitch for Nurol UK and its offered vehicles, Ejder(Dragon), NMS(Nomad) and NMS-L(Lurcher). Still very interesting:
NEW: Interesting that Turkiye's FM Hakan Fidan now saying relations with the east of Libya (Haftar) are the same as with the west (Dbeibeh) - Also says a visit by ex-adversary Khalifa Haftar is not on the agenda right now, but would be normal if it happened

We don't have the political capital or the money to undertake such a program. Who's going to fund it, with what money? We could at this point create a highway between Ankara and Istanbul with what we "don't have".
Not just Russia, Iran too. Iraq's electricity waiver ended this year, ours probably also won't be renewed. Won't be surprising if Akkuyu is nationalized in this decade at great loss to us.
Change is afoot.
EUROPEAN GAS: Turkey's Botas is stacking up new shortish-term LNG supply deals at Gastech in Milan. Three yesterday with BP, Eni, and Shell, and more today with Hartree, Cheniere, and SEFE. With Russian gas contracts due to expire at year-end, Turkey increasingly focusing on LNG.
Everything is possible, always. It's not a bigger claim than using Ukrainian engines for serial production birds. Relations have been thawing since the last year. If the idea is to get closer to Europe, getting closer to France is also necessary. Though locally produced T700 would still be the...
