I honestly don't think that the Air Force will be satisfied with such limited capacity in the tactical air cargo fleet in the next generation after 235s. There may be a joint development with a country or there may be an under-license production, but as a precedent, I believe that C-27J can be...

Tuzla boats(with ASW rockets), was a very good optimization for port and coastal safety, which are the main mission types of this patrol boats. For actual ASW warfare in inland waters, navy designed ADA class. What if Tuzla boats have more installed power and more powerful systems; if we think...

IMO, Qatar's EFs are hardly second-hand. They received their first jet in 2022 and as far as I know, full operational capability has not yet been declared. Deliveries have not been completed anyway. In fact, the Qatari Air Force has purchased more aircraft than its capacity, almost like filling...

Wait a minute, he talking about repackaging the TS1400 and turning it into a turboprop. Since the BAYKAR CTO is talking about they currently developing a heavier, possible HALE platform, the main specs of this prop engine should be finalized and at an advanced stage. Baykar's current situation...

Have we discussed this in any thread, I looked a bit but I couldn't find it? The reflex of SoloTurk's pilot is almost superhuman. At that angle and proximity, with the flight control computer malfunctioning, it was a great skill to prevent the accident. Aircraft narrowly saved from crashing in...

Congratulations on “the 15th Anniversary of the Nakhchivan Agreement on the establishment of the Organization of Turkic States” and “3 October – Turkic States Cooperation Day!”

Welcome to the invisible side of the Iceberg. -SANs' contractors! Under this 'subcontractors' group, there are hundreds of large and small engineering companies and a significant number of heavy industry facilities. The industrial infrastructure in the country is already known to almost everyone...

This is the Arrows' primary, maybe only mission, which is why I emphasized it. But if we look all theater you are right and moreover, based on the awareness in the US media during the day, it can probably be argued that the US air force was also on alert. Despite this, I think it is a very...

Since the Arrows intercept at longer ranges, it is difficult to tell how visually engaged they are, but against a ballistic missile trajectory that is estimated to come from about 600-800 km as the crow flies, such saturation of Israeli base areas with enemy fire is a serious questioning mark of...

In Turkish there is a saying; I am not familiar with the generation that does not understand irony.

Regarding Iran's legitimate(!) attack, the NYT posted hours ago almost a list of places to hit. In any case, the Iranian attack was not a sudden attack at any stage and part of the game was played as a war of declarations. I have the impression that Iran was very careful in adjusting the dosage...

It is a good exchange of ideas for frigates that may have a very limited number of cells, I follow it with interest. On the other hand, even if we consider that only the Hisar-D B2 will be quadpack capable as the system to be replacing ESSM and everything else will be loaded as a single missile...

Even more interesting is the Siper Product-3 missile, which we'll probably see its design in 2025. Press specs on the Product-2 suggest that it could almost be the equivalent of the SM-6. With the third batch of missiles, I wonder if efforts will expand to ICBM interception? I mean, you know...

Wasn't a significant part of the delays in TCG Istanbul the problems in system procurement? We couldn't get MK41 from LM for example. And if I'm not wrong, Hisar-D RF firing tests started towards the end of 2022. 76/62 mm naval gun, close-in defense systems... Not just weapon systems but also...

The start of project construction activities in calendar year 2024 is the product of a truly extraordinary effort. I would like to express my gratitude to all the unsung heroes behind the scenes. The vision and hardwork of our navy should be an example for all defense and national security...

If Baykar's social media activities during the AKINCI and TB-3 test processes continue, we will see more test footage being shared than we would like. So much so that after a while we won't even share some of them here :) The long and arduous journey of KE begins.

Great illustration. Thank you again for all of these great works @Kaan Azman . These brainstorms show us again and again that a little version of MIDLAS that allows peripheral installation would fulfill many needs, really well. It would be a system with a very serious export potential to other...

It will certainly be a milestone in our naval history. Producing a warship of this combat load and tonnage with an 85% localization rate with the very first ship must be more daunting than the ship itself. Program's total production target is speculated as 7 and 8 units, according to the...

The F35 project first became a major barrier against the idea of joint production of combat jets with Europe. Thanks to Americanist politicians. Years later, using the defense relationship with Russia(which is not a voluntary relationship but the result of US dragging) as an excuse and taking...
