First of all, we have a huge and I mean gargantuan stock of 105mm shells this is by itself a huge parameter. There are budgetary constraints. Those tanks will not be first-liners. Sabras, Leo2A4s, and Altays will be the first-line MBTs. Upgraded M60A3 will be there to provide numbers and provide...

No. How do I know? We replaced the guns of many of the M-60Ts as the service life of the guns has expired. You can only fire a certain amount of shots with tank guns and our Sabras are extensively used in operations. We are now getting rid of all Israeli subsystems like FCS etc. as it is...

https://www.mke.gov.tr/Urunler/120-mm-44-kal-M60-Tanki-Silah-Sistemi/46 Turkiye bought the license of the gun with the M-60T Sabra project.

Turkiye is finished. There is no remedy against demographic warfare once it passes a certain point. It is a slow but insidious killer. No amount of Baykar UAVs can save us.

From what I know AN/ALQ 254 (V1) Viper Shield doesn't have pulse-to-pulse interoperability with AN/APG-83 SABR this is one of the reasons why USAF chose AN/ALQ 257 IVEWS over Viper Sheild. I was really surprised when I saw IVEWS in the DSCA note.

Given the chance he will.

IVEWS has 2 mostly underrated advantages. 1) It is an integrated system and the first of its kind for F-16 which means pylon number 5 allocated for ECM payload will be freed and we can load a 300-gallon fuel tank. For comparison, CFT carries 450 gallons of fuel. Our F-16s will reach even...

This is what I call state-of-the-art. Aselsan managed to fit 1152 T/R modules on the nose of an F-16 without any enlargement and from a transistor to a finished product with in-house design and production. Aselsan can easily scale this to 2x (2304 modules) and use it as the nose radar part of...

Pakistan successfully tested a ballistic missile capable of carrying MIRV warheads. A big strategic capability increase.

After the local elections, AKP might launch another peace process to push this "new" constitution. The new constitution shenanigans are mostly pushed to give Erdogan another 2-3 terms as president.

With the work carried out under the coordination of ASFAT, the submarine steel plates jointly produced nationally by Erdemir and Miilux OY companies operating within OYAK were delivered to Gölcük Shipyard Command. 36 steel plates with a weight of 96 tonnes are delivered. Turkish Lloyd will...

The higher you go, the faster you go and the more electrical power you draw from the engine high BPR engine provides less SCF advantage and at some point scale of trade-off is leaning to low BPR if you take into account other parameters. For example, the E-7T AWACS plane has CFM56-7 high BPR...

Yes, but the trend is backward due to high costs and new competitors.

It depends. It is not a simple calculation like that.

Anka-4, IHA-SOJ and IHA-AWACS are the usual suspects here. IHA-SOJ and IHA-AWACS have ambitious altitude targets on top of big power needs so an F-110 without an afterburner might be needed to reach those altitudes and TAI will probably replace F-110 with the national engine once it becomes...

Lets say there is. Who will buy drones from you when your drones start malfunctioning the moment they operate in Libya?

Wait until those drones hit GNA forces in Libya.

Nothing to say. FNSS created a piece of art with alpha.

Yeah Fatah 2 is a good system. Pakistan showing interest in a lot of Turkish products so offset deals will likely happen in the future.

True but Turkiye got Mushaks as an offset. Something similar might happen.
