Within the scope of the Hürjet program, the platform is aimed to have highly competent qualifications. Thus, in addition to AJT and LIFT as NVG compatible, it will have state of the art HMI, High AoA, HUD and Helmet mounted Display, fully digital FCS, wet and dry Aerial refuelling, AESA radar...

Finding a Turk, in the vast mountains of Pakistan. It's a bit old vlog but it's really fun to watch and makes you think deep thoughts.

If this is a variant of MIDLAS that will allow for a peripheral installation, it is likely that the proposed missiles will also be of Turkish defense industry origin in the first place. Btw, If what is shown is a scale model of the ADA class, then this structural block containing the peripheral...

I have been following Turkish defense forums maybe more than 15 years. I know or can guess most of the members here from two or three previous forums. And I also know the periods when many people, who are now considered experts in the defense industry media today, and who are now editors of...

If these structure blocks can be added to existing ADA-class corvettes and if the ships have the appropriate infrastructure, this is great news. I wonder if there is a possibility of an earlier MLU process for Ada class corvettes. 16 medium-altitude air defense missiles could significantly...

We have a handful of good journalists/editors, one or two print and digital magazines, a few online media, and of course a few forums like defencehub, trmilitary, etc. Maybe one or two youtube channels, maybe not... And that's all there is. News ethics, news responsibility and credibility are...

It is very difficult to comment on this tweet below and probably if I make a comment it will be racist. It's not just Tb-3 or anything like that, there is a general situation with the Turkish interest and perspectives of the boys in this country lately.

Could be talks for approximately 30-40 military aircraft, including for MRTT conversion kits, additional A400Ms and perhaps even long-range MPA and AEWs. These are already in the scope of needs, some urgent and some medium term. If you add THY's mega purchase to this, there seems to be...

The defense minister says in part of the interview that they will acquire additional A400Ms. (26:30)

The defense ministry's interest in navalized aircraft with vertical landing capability is very big news, but I think the real punch line in this statement is the other, 'TAF needs everything.' The development of indigenous capacity will encourage the defense bureaucracy more and more every day...

It can also play a fighter role against low maneuver but long endurance high-altitude drones. Almost every air force in the world tends to solve ISTAR roles as well as some armed air support roles with UAVs more and more. While these systems offer significant advantages in terms of sustainment...

Does it mean that country X, which builds a brand new navy with a budget of 30-40 billion from various supplier western countries, has reached the same capacity as the supplier country with the same number of frigates or surface main combat platforms? What I am underlining is the tradition and...

The Turkish naval forces are currently the most prepared force command for the breakthrough phase against foreign embargoes and political barriers, thanks to the military naval industrial infrastructure and ecosystem that it has pioneered with its effective policies. Even now, the navy has...

A friend of ours asked us on the back page how the naval forces have achieved these strategic gains and are ahead of other force commands. Admirals like Özden Örnek were the Turkish intellectuals and sailors who made this difference. History often writes about admirals who won great naval...

Diyarbakır Bar Association filed a lawsuit for the cancellation of oil exploration activities planned in Bismil, Ergani, Çermik, Silvan, Hazro. All of these regions are high potential exploration areas with high surface finds.

There is another important detail in the draft drawing: both aircraft elevators are shown in huuge dimensions. To emphasize this, it is even shown that it can carry 2 aircrafts to the deck at once. These details, and especially the optional retention of CATOBAR in the main design, make me think...

Additional notes: In the first phase, the National Aircraft Carrier will not include a catapult system since there is still no national/indigenous capability in this field, but the ship design will include a Modular Ramp System, and if it is possible to produce a domestic catapult in the future...

It seems 1 angled landing deck and 3 take-off lines. Even in this STOBAR configuration, showing that high sortie density is targeted. Definitely not a flag display ship, but a strategic force multiplier ship is coming. The article envisages a capacity of around 50 manned and unmanned combat...
