Annndd goes all in! "Türkiye has exported the Siper Air Defense System to an undisclosed country."

And Akbaba increases the bet. "Ragıp Soylu’s report emphasizes that Kuwait wants to purchase Hisar AD systems from Turkey. Kuwait is interested not only in Hisar but also in the Steel Dome system as a whole. Qatar and Saudi Arabia have taken delivery of Korkut systems. They have also taken...

All F-16s will undergo Özgür and the structural upgrade. None will be retired from 2035.

Welt publishing this and then DW TR quoting it is.. interesting.. -- MEE claims Kuwait is looking at Akıncı and Hisar AD; Qatar and Saudi signed for Korkut and Iraq is also interested in the system in large numbers...

1000 is more than enough. Ammo count is what matters really. Mantis should have about 250 rounds ready to fire, don't think it's too different for Gökdeniz in total for two guns. For Mantis, a 1.5 sec burst is about 25 rounds. That gives you 10 engagements. Any larger and you need a bigger...

This is a good design if we remove it from Aegean. I think it's a bit big, probably won't be able to launch USVs; not much room for growth. It'd be wonderful in somewhere like Baltic. Still unsure if this was what was needed; but will be a huge upgrade over older FACs in service regardless.
