Aziz Başkan is currently changing Caspian dynamics and busy make Africa great again. lol. Jokes aside, Dearsan is a tremendous success story in the Turkish shipbuilding industry. Professionalism and patriotism have equal weight in this story. I would love to see an alternative program run by...

For a more accurate answer of your comparative question, the opinions of more competent people can give a healthier idea, while there is a naval expert like ANMDT in our forum who opens the horizons of all of us, what I have to say on this subject will not go beyond unnecessary speculation...

Aside from all the Navy's current areas of interest and risk zones, hydrocarbon exploration and extraction activities are starting in the Gulf of Libya this year and off the coast of Somalia next year. The logistics master plan for the strategic Welfare Road from the Basrah to Edirnekapı has...

Turkiye and Iraq signed a Memorandum of Understanding on Strategic Cooperation in the Defense Industry.

All of gulf countries like Kuwait, Qatar and KSA will also be stakeholders in this logistics system very soon. For the friendly states to the south of us, a secure and stable connection with Europe depends on the TAF guarantee. Everyone will realize this sooner or later.

I agree, if the third block will be officially requested, it can be accompanied by some changes in the configuration of the main mast etc. But I am personally satisfied with the decision to immediately building the second block production without wasting time. More generally, and as a projection...

I hope there will be a decision also on third block before 2028-2030 period. Especially after the construction of the second block, the I-class could become one of the fastest frigate building programs in the world, thanks to parallel-production capability. While the destroyer program can...

Turkiye should strengthen its autonomy within NATO, but this should not be in progress as Russia's interests. Turkiye has shown that it will remain neutral on this issue and this actually more than enough. This tension is basically a familiar form of power game in the region that benefits both...

So, without even needing a catapult, you can carry it in a case behind a pickup in a simple metal frame, set it up in minutes and launch it over the same pickup. Asymmetric loitering system :)

There are some cliques within the country, in a religious-looking and in ummahist idea, but they are stupid enough to be pawns of other countries' intelligence services... Also need to add, most of their opinion leaders also have a common characteristics, like all have same connections for some...

Turkish Airlines, which ordered another 350 airplanes last year, is making a trilateral agreement with Rolls Royce and Airbus to produce a significant part of this $70 billion order in Turkiye Turkish Airlines Chairman Ahmet Bolat: "We will open a $20 billion business door for Turkish...

I would say it is very difficult, practically impossible. Anyway, I don't think that Mr. Yazıcıoğlu will be in such a situation at least in the near future. As for the other issue, MHP, IYIP, Zafer etc., they formed nationalist block votes in various segments. Some of them appealed to the...

Mehmet Kemal Yazıcıoğlu, the son of the late Governor Recep Yazıcıoğlu, who was probably one of the most beloved civil servants in recent Turkish history and remains one of the symbols of the bureaucracy after all these years, was elected mayor of Tokat with 55% of the votes. If Recep Yazıcıoğlu...

Autonomous drones with AESA radar and IFF interrogators in their avionics package, capable of engaging in close air combat carrying air-to-air missiles, will radically change all doctrinal approaches in combat aviation.

The T-625 should have already started to be derived as a light-medium naval utility/ASW helicopter, similar to the AW159 Wildcat concept. It may not be as heavy-duty as the Seahawks, but we could have solved this by inducting it into the inventory in much larger numbers. Ministries can wait a...

The beauty that all women envy

The planned (or at least speculated) Turkish naval base in Qatar, which can be considered as the next big step after the Qatar Turkish Joint Joint Force Command, can also be seen as part of this grand vision. In time, the states of the Arabian peninsula will also be integrated into this railroad...

During the security conference in Baghdad, an agreement was reached to establish permanent joint committees in the fields of counter-terrorism, trade, finance, agriculture, energy, health and transportation. It was also announced that President Erdoğan will visit Iraq in April. Final decisions...

Due to the escort requirement of two LHDs (and one Carrier If all goes as hoped), I believe that by the mid-2030s, the combat fleet will need more than 24-25 destroyers and frigates. Not only by Carier task forces, but also the naval forces will expanding their footprint with other activities...
