The passive layer of add-on armor has STANAG level 6A protection, and the reactive layer has 6b protection(PDF page 15). The turret itself should have level 4 or 5 armor protection. It is made of thick angled armor steel.

P means parti (batch) 3P should be the third batch 59 is probably the 59th engine of the third batch. We don't know how many engines there are per batch but it feels like there are 100 engines per batch so there should be more than 900 engines and increasing. Unlike other companies, KALE is a...

No, it is "up to" the STANAG-5 level of protection, and at that level, the turret weighs close to 8000kg still a lot lighter than MZK(MZK provides STANAG level 6 protection though). The base turret(welded armor aluminum) will probably only provide protection against 7.62x51mm AP rounds...

That is mostly a naked turret with ballistic aluminum armor. Turret with addon armor weighs north of 7000kg depending on the armor and modifications.

That is a good move in the right direction. The first targets should be missile, UAV, gliding bomb and artillery shell production facilities and any facility providing required materials to those facilities. Russian firepower superiority has to be reduced at all costs.

A Tamir-like missile project is in progress, and Aselsan will deliver its guidance section ( Aselsan cost-effective seeker head project/semi-active RF) in 2026. From what I heard the target is to have a similar performance at half the price of the Tamir missile. Roketsan is also working on a...

It is true but this is not an HGV, also don't expect anything in the short term. All of those projects are post-2030.

The most serious problem of AKP is a slow one. Turkish voter base is changing especially the AKP voter base. Here is a recent poll about voter bases of political parties. The Turkish voter base is becoming less religious and less conservative. Political leaning of youth. 2022 vs 2024. Big...

There is a low chance of a deal before November, which will most likely be reached by the end of this year if the new government is not openly hostile.

The US side is stalling the F-16 deal because officials want to see the results of the next elections before committing to a deal. They want the next government/president to decide whether to give the project the green light.

All of them are defensive equipment. I want to see short-range ballistic missiles like PrSM and ground and air-launched cruise missiles like MBDA LCM and JASSM on those lists.

One way or another Russia will persevere. It simply is too big to fail. Russia will pay a heavy price but in the end, Russia will get what it wants. Ukraine is evacuating Pokrovsk and Kramatorsk. The tempo and frequency of Russian missile, aviation, and UAV strikes are increasing. Russian...

Sisi is no doubt a coup leader but it is Egyptian interior business. If Egyptians are concerned and don't like Sisi they can topple their own dictator it is none of our business. Erdogan should refrain from picking sides when it comes to internal problems of countries.

AKP is over. Everyone knows it. Young people hate AKP to the bone. I expect AKP votes to fall even more in the following years. AKP will try to remedy this before the elections. Although the economic situation doesn't allow such moves, I expect Erdogan to spend every last lira he has at his...

No, because he is a young political scientist. Tubitak-SAGE is a hardcore research and development institute. Do you know how many hardcore veteran engineers at SAGE were waiting to be appointed to the office? Expect a lot of resignations from the institution. ASML can expect a surge in...

This must be a fucking joke!

What exactly did we give to Egypt? And does Egypt have the capability to receive what we gave to them? We talked about ToT in the past. It is not magic. Let's assume an alien civilization visited Earth and decided to transfer the technology of UFOs to us. Do you think we can successfully produce...

Egypt is interested in Hürjet, UAVs, OPVs/corvettes from ASFAT, modernization of armored vehicles. Egypt is also interested in Kaan.
