The twit doesn’t say it was finalized either. So, you think maybe they’re working on a different supply model of the system rather than the original purchase deal of 2021?

Yeah, the major one, like I said. All I hope is that tracked AFV to carry a large caliber cannon. I am not really much concerned about they put manned or unmanned turrets as much as the gun now.

I’d really like to see KAAN in DLC

Alright guys. I’m convinced and hope for better now. this will only be a dirt cheap stop gap solution with enhanced optical and electro optical capabilities - only to be replaced within a decade, though 😉

They added KAAN in DLC?

According to the same source the negotiations will be held as a direct G2G (government to government) basis. Given their very complicated financial model structures, I wish a smooth ride all the way.

I remember back then it was noted for its cost effectiveness. And indeed it’s dime a dozen. And I’m all for it. But these are the only tracked ACV units in our inventory and no matter how dirt cheap it might be, these will be the ones to be taken to the hot conflict zone and they still lack a...

I know it was before the war in Ukraine but even back then 25mm was passé. How can any thinking mind of the Turkish Armed Forces see this as a viable tactical solution?

I personally don’t approve such shows of grudge. Not when a nation’s flag or any other sacred symbols involved, like a holly book or flags and so on. It’s beneath us. It’s beneath Turkic nations. Early this year some provocateurs burned Quran in front of Turkish Embassy in Stockholm, Sweden...

Why do they investigate it as a terror crime? Isn’t technologiCal espionage a crime in Turkey? PS: i didn’t raise this as rhetorical question to mind storm, btw. I really don’t know how it goes and just curious.

Nooo! We Turks will never convert to cricket. Never will embrace cricket. Our “species” will never ‘evolve’ to cherish it. NEVEERR! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Seriously though, if I could find just a bit extra time, giving it a try is on my bucket list 😇

Since I don’t know what I’m exactly getting myself into, I’ll just pretend I’m understanding while I’m nervously laughing

Well before Altay it was “Milliler Panzerlere karşı” and always how giant of a team they are and how we stand up against them and fight against all odds. I don’t know how does one not relate such comparisons of David and Goliath narrative to some form of low self esteem. On the other hand, it...

Such lame comments really hurts. Our pathetic inferiority and low self esteem will never end ☹️

Again, it was a while ago and it was one of the items that were on the table. The exact numbers may have missed me. This was a meeting/series of meetings between two governments headed by their respective defense ministers and honestly don’t remember who offered what to whom.

A while back, Typhoons were on the table by the British and they were simply eager to dump their T1 aircraft on us (about forty, iirc) without any upgrade or even selling them with upgrade kits, probably because the fear of a German veto. So, now are we gonna buy those forty T1? If we buy...

Haud yer wheesht McTavish! Curse yaeerrr mouth 😂

Many Canadian friends here. Just saying 😁

I somehow feel that this is more than a courtesy visit from a 5th gen aircraft manufacturer. It’s more like an excuse to sit in the cockpit of a Hawker Hunter, an icon 😉

And Turkey has adopted its military doctrine in the Western line almost eight decades ago and is on the verge of creating and implementing its own within the next decade . So, there you go.
