And here goes the first USV sale. An unannounced number of ULAQ 11 Port Security Vessel variant USVs were sold to Qatar interior ministry.

I think we can now safely say change of government in UK didn't really effect Turkish UK relations.

SAR 762 machine gun sale to Ukraine. No info on numbers. "SAR 762 MT universal machine gun has been approved for use in AFU" https://mod.gov.ua/news/2024/10/30/minoboroni-dopustilo-do-ekspluatacziyi-universalnij-kulemet

Just spitballing here but could there be a possible scenario to keep the 4 modded Gabyas in service for 1-2 more decades? Those double hangars give them an ability only amphibious ships have, carrying more than a single helicopter. Other 4 could feed them parts for few more years, no? We only...

60 million for 3 ships seem a bit low , not sure. Yes, they will be cheap, but not that cheap surely?

It's a bit more complex than that. We argued about this a lot in the past. I still think a T625N could be a pretty good standin for a Wildcat and could supplement our Seahawks. It can carry marines, missiles, sonobuoys, single torpedos, radar, dipping sonar. Maybe it wouldn't be a complete...

Now is this for Indonesia or Philippines...

With the mentioning of EDH last month, I don't think we should expect that full production rate until after TS1400 is ready for serial production. Those numbers will be achieved only after it is genuinely ready for full use, so still after 2028. This is not great, it is still very slow and I...

You are the most beautiful thing in the world. Designed, developed and built in Turkey.

Looks like you guys waited for me to deliver the news! Finally after years of delay, first T625 was officially, fully delivered to gendarme. 4 prototypes completed 1500 flight hours of tests to date. Starting from 2025, "two additional GÖKBEYs will be delivered to the Gendarmerie, seven to...

This is true, but as I've also previously mentioned in the air force threat, starting from '88, Turkish air force began a huge modernization effort with 4th gen jets. In 99 for Yugoslavia War, we had the only air force that was capable of night time ground strike operations with Paveways and...

We've never had air superiority over Israel in the region. They had 60 F-15s in 90s when we were still running F-104s.

And now in English, surprisingly.

We waited so long for this.

Su-25 is somewhere between outdated to obsolete. Merhale-1 mod only added UBAS. Merhale-2 mod will include avionics upgrades which is still some years away and Su-25 is an aircraft TAI, Aselsan and Roketsan knows pretty intimately. Eurofighter is not outdated, in fact it's more modern that...

They can easily argue UN article 51. Both Syria and Iraq were used as launching points for strikes against Israel. And AFAIK, they are still de jure at war with Syria.

I think SACLOS ATGMs like wire guided TOW can still have a place in the modern jammer/dazzler heavy battlefield. But, it presents too much of a threat to the operator. It can still work great in near peer conflict, and it's cheaper to build too.

I'd hope to think they've learned their lesson and don't overpromise now. Nigerian T129 sale went swimmingly, even though AH-1Z was a direct competitor, even if they opted to buy both in the end. Only possible customer that could have a problem with US engines is Azerbaijan.

Yup. They probably still use old models, including the mockup. Doesn't mean anything, we know TAI is usually hit&miss when it comes to models and mockups and they shouldn't be taken as gospel.

This is a pretty big score. Finally some good news.
