Anka-S can stay airborne for 50+hours with this amount of fuel consumption.

According to some reports TAF hit the Lafarge cement factory which provides cement to the YPG and provided cement to the ISIS in the past.

HPV is the future. We should have 76mm and 127mm fire support vehicles and 155mm SPA with HPV capability. Mechanized companies should have 3x 76mm IFVs while mechanized battalions have 6-9x127mm this will add another layer to the armored warfare. Those guns can provide air defense as well as...

Too early to say that. The size of the reservoir might not be worth investing.

Phase I of the operation is a go. Tal Rifat and Manbij is loading. Tal Rifat and Manbij has Arab population. People of Manbij held demonstrations several times against YPG.

https://www.trthaber.com/haber/turkiye/manisadaki-siyah-sivi-cok-kaliteli-petrol-cikti-684584.html An olive farmer drilled a water well in Manisa and found oil by chance. TPAO will drill to learn how big is the reservoir and if it is worth to invest. The depth of the water well is 208m.

Sure we will have 250 T2 Altays in our hands by 2031. Akkor APS is not cheap but we are not talking about millions of euros here. Lol, we are nowhere near that amount.

This is extremely bad for us and the Turkish economy. Higher energy prices mean a wider trade deficit. We should buy the Russian oil if Russia is willing to sell it at a discount. We are not in the EU so we are not bound by their rules. That will be an advantage for us. We should also use rubles...

Germany can spend whatever it likes. Germany will probably pay 30 million euros for a UAV like TB2 if Germans companies develop it.

So no factory till 2026. What can I say, great?

Özgür project is %100 successful. I have listened to several sources about this including the pilot that flew it so a big no for the first one. Structural modernization is going on I heard from several sources that Özgür serial modernization won't start before structural modernization finishes...

We are dependent on foreign EO targeting systems for such a big production capacity. Currently, Aselsan can only produce 72 CATS per year it will be raised to 120 in the short term and 144 short to middle term.

BTW we can kiss goodbye to the Altay factory and tank excellence center. As the new admin of BMC made clear they won't be investing in a new factory. BMC is demolishing the Karasu tank factory construction field.

The unit cost of Altay is 13 to 14 million euros. Even at 12 million euros (3billion total for 250 Altay) it is still expensive and I doubt the remaining terms of the contract will cost more than 1 billion.

Vanilla Altay will be outdated when it achieves operational capability. It is delayed so much that subsystems of Altay is being redesigned to keep them up to date. Altay brings no substantial capability increase over a modernized M-60 or Leo-2A4. Altay costs 14 million euros per unit. It was...

SNA got orders for mobilization. A big SNA convoy entered the Al-Bab area.

Russian fighters from Hmeimim airbase can down TB2s or bomb Turkish troops.

The Turkish side of the Thrace is mostly flat which is a disadvantage for us. There are a lot of rivers crossing and some urban areas that act as natural barriers. Supplying the Turkish side of the Thrace is easy as it has good infrastructure and is close to supply hubs. It can also be safely...

Altay is a fiasco because of its 14 million euro price tag.

Partially stealth or won't be true 5th gen argument revolves around because of the F-110 engine. It has nothing to do with geometry and ram paint and coatings, sensors, etc. TFX is a truly 5th gen stealth fighter.
