We have been waiting patiently for such a long time. Hopefully, more major announcements will be made within the next 12 months leading up to summer 2025. We are in great need of both replacing our older C-130, as well as adding more transport aircraft to the Air Force fleet. The same applies to...

Give it 2 years ;)

The Tata Whap will be a new addition to our ground forces, and not meant to replace our M113. Our M113 is served for transport use, as well and some of them are converted to different mission profiles for use in the Sahara desert. It will replace the Ratel IFV, and "maybe" the VAB. The Whap will...

TATA Advanced Systems Maroc (TASM), has entered into a strategic partnership for the local production of the WhAP 8x8. Your wish was answered! What was expected, and was finalized has officially been published! This deal is a deal that falls naturally for Morocco due to the growing of ties...

Is there any chance that we will see a heavier turret on the Zaha vehicles?

India's defence body approves proposals worth $17 bln to buy military assets India's Defence Acquisition Council approved on Tuesday 10 proposals worth 1.45 trillion rupees ($17.3 billion) to buy military assets including combat vehicles, aircraft, and patrol vessels. The government said in a...

Expecting the Organization of Turkic States to have one defined foreign policy is too early to demand. There are common core values that can be agreed upon, but the relations need to be strengthened further between the Turkic states at the political, economic, and military levels.

I guess the satellite is the NEONSAT-1 Satellite right? It's a very impressive program that involves the production of 11 microsatellites which weigh less than 100 kg, and have a resolution of 1 meter! Do we have more information in regards to the cost of the satellite bus, as well as the name...

None of the countries that have expressed their interest in the KAAN can contribute to the development of the Burfis AESA radar, the TF-35000 engine, or any critical part of the fighter jet that Turkey is still developing. Being a partner does not necessarily mean that they will be developing...

It's not the first time Indonesia has been linked to the KAAN. It will be healthy for Turkiye to get partners on board the KAAN program. The critical stages of the project have been accomplished, or are near completion. However, as we know the leverage and the offers that Turkiye made at the...

Morocco seeks to be a leader in command and communications, situational awareness, and the ability to detect and deal with high-value threats, which are on the rise in the world today. The next generation of warfare will be more about precision, rapid data processing, and the use of artificial...

Haftar is supported by Wagner, as well as Russia+UAE+ Egypt. The reason for the deployment is unknown, and this is not the first time that Haftar has made such a proactive step against Algeria. An interview from 2021 features President Abdelmajid Tedboune where he says "Who are Haftar to...

I see, but how does this play out for Algeria? Do you think the Russians have the need, and aspiration to circle Algeria? Its main ally, and biggest arm importer in Africa? Interesting development! The Sahel countries are increasing their cooperation with the Wagner, and we know that Haftar is...

Early this year some reports were claiming that Algeria is discontent with Wagner around its border, but that the issue was mainly discussed between Algeria, and Russia. Now we see that Wagner has strengthened its presence and is basically surrounding Algeria from Mali, and Niger in the south...

I have to agree that relations between Algeria, and Europe in particular are pretty good. Especially the gas agreements between Algeria, and Italy. However, Algeria seems to be discontent with Spain and France regarding its recognition of the Moroccan Sahara. There is not much Algeria can do at...

It was claimed that Tuareg forces in Libya were on their way to Mali to support Azawad forces against the junta rule, and Wagner. The question arises! How will they be able to enter northern Mali? The Prime Minister of Niger sent a strong message to the Algerian government, stressing...

Everyone can throw a little "sentence", but the situation is interesting for those interested in MENA affairs. This topic has been discussed in other "arab" forums as well. The situation in Libya is indeed not part of the internal situation, but I find it very interesting that an internal crisis...

I have never made a claim that Algeria has a big internal problem. I have just documented sabotage operations, and gun exchanges that have been taking place a month ago. How small, or big it is depends on the way we look at it, and if the development will be intensified. This thread was created...

Move the whole thread or part of it?

Good question. The internal crisis- the events with Azawad in northern Mali, and the mobilization of Haftars forces to the borders of Algeria took place in a timespan of two weeks. Is that not interesting, and does that not deserve to be discussed?
