It might be Altay. A total of 71 Altay will be delivered in 2027-28 (41+30). It is too expensive for the IFV deal.

Production and testing of gimbaled electro-optical systems and vision systems are carried out at the Akyurt campus. In this context, production processes for CATS, Aselflir-300T, Aselflir-400/410, Aselflir-500, ASELPOD, Ahtapot, Piri-100, Akrep, Kırlangıç, Martı EO systems and sub-assemblies are...

The Rotax engine doesn't have high-altitude capability. It is not possible to climb to 30000+ feet with a Rotax engine. Prototypes of the BM-100 engine were produced in 2024 and Baykar wants to deliver the first TB2 with BM100 engine in 2025. There is a problem though BM100 uses a lot of COTS...

BTW, the FNSS contract value is 65 million $ so 2.6 million $ for each vehicle. Cost-effectiveness is off the charts for such a good platform.

Currently, the best IFV we have is Pars Alpha with an overall slight edge over Arma II. Those two are close and Altuğ is behind with a big margin. Arma II is expensive so Pars Alpha also offers the best price-to-performance ratio.

The problem is that Altuğ scored very low on field performance tests and it is also not cheap so it doesn't win on that front either. This 25-vehicle order is like giving BMC another 2 years to patch up Altuğ. The real order is postponed to 2027-2028.

T2 will compete against AbramsX, KF51 Panter, K3 etc. Good luck competing against those with T2 in the 2030s.

The small winglets on the tail are fixed and they are both aerodynamic parts and antennas. The engine is a turbocharged ICE engine. It is very likely to be Baykar BM-100 engine. Baykar is probably flight-testing both the engine and the new TB2T-AI.

Deploying Kaan on MUGEM is very problematic. Current KAAN has to be redesigned from scratch for STOBAR configuration (ramp+arresting gear without catapult) It might be possible to use KAAN with heavy modifications in the CATOBAR (catapult+arresting gear) configuration. The problem is we need an...

One of the terrorists blew himself up after getting shot by the soldiers.

Hybrid rocket technology from DeltaV made its way to the military industry. This is a big development. As far as I know, Turkiye is the first country to use hybrid rockets for military purposes.

Vertical launch tests will be done later. There is nothing surprising about launching it diagonally first before testing it vertically.

Serbia has a really strong armed forces and decent military industry compared to its size.

Bozdoğan is not a small missile and its canister can't be small either. It has double the weight of Levent missile and 30kg heavier than MBDA VL Mica missile. It should be compared to VL Mica.

TEI General Manager Mahmut Faruk Akşit: Domestic engines developed for UAV and helicopter engines started mass production (He is talking about PD series and T700) We can make the TF6000 flight-ready immediately, but the need is for the TF10000. Work is progressing faster than expected (Very...

Yeah, it is guesswork. Even at sea level, I think the missile will have a higher speed than Mach 2. Even the ramjet cruise missiles fly over Mach 2 at sea level.

The latest schedule of the national engine for KAAN The first engine delivery for integration Q4 2028- Q2 2029 (integration prototype) The first flight with the national engine Q4 2029-Q2 2030. (flight prototype) The flight testing is expected to take 2 years so we will likely see the first KAAN...

Taking refugees in is one thing they are delivering Gaza on a silver plate to Israel.

The real scandal is that there are no political parties in Turkiye other than the Zafer party and some small political parties that are against the renewed peace process. MHP, AKP, CHP, YRP, DEVA, and GELECEK all agreed on that.

He is against the renewed peace process. That is why he is jailed.
