Turkish perspective of Maghreb is don't delve into the local disputes and concentrate on the big game which means denying any post-colonial imperialist influence over the region. We don't want French, Israeli, Russian, or American influence to dominate the region. We don't really care about the...

Block III comes with an antijamming GPS, improved warhead, and improved INS performance(by %70)

Damn multistatic radar era is close. By the end of this decade, TR will be a monster in the defense industry.

Why not carry it in pieces and assemble it in space. Thanks to Elon Musk this can be a reality. Starship has insane cargo capacity and magnitudes cheaper compared to earlier spacecraft.

Stay strong guys it seems like you are the next target in the Maghreb. Do you think a UAE-backed coup is possible in Algeria? How is the political situation there?

Kargu will be a menace on the battlefield. That RPG warhead can make short work of armored vehicles with top attack and capability to select the point of impact. Kargu-RF will look for V/UHF signal sources. Kargu RPG will hunt armored vehicles and Kargu Claymore will hunt soft targets. They all...

Otokar is very close to signing a deal for Tulpar heavy IFVs with an undisclosed customer, probably with Kazakstan.

I heard that Seyit is really expensive though.

We can get it. 275 million $ per ship is a lot of money. If political reasons don't affect the decision there is no way other bidders could beat us. We can offer a lot more than the others.

Our tank protection capability expands. Akkor (premium level active protection/hitting a missile with another missile) Akkor Pulat (Affordable hard kill ) Meteksan (Good against Saclos and older Russian tech which still constitute overwhelmingly major part of the ATGM threat) Aselsan KAMA ( It...

I agree hating Qatar is meaningless. It is blind hatred.

Yeah sure. Germany and France will send their kids to die for Greece in the war against Türkiye. All you will get is political support and maybe some second-hand military hardware. As for HAF. Airforce is good when you have strategic depth. %70 of the HAF airbases are 300km away from the...

We can't sell T-129 after 2028. Our license deal will expire by that time. We can't sell it right now without LHTEC engines if the US denies an export license and there is no Turkish engine in sight, no deal is signed as of now. IMHO a militarized engine can be delivered in 2-3 years if it is...

I mean things will be faster. We don't need to wait again for 5 years. T-629 will use the T-625s transmission so this is also another bonus.

T-629 will replace T-129. TS-1400 can power T-629 after 2028. Military derivative of the TS-1400 doesn't need to get the civilian EASA certification so it won't be certified it will be qualified.

Yes, a shell made of fiberglass, carbon fiber, RAM coating, and RAM paint is covered on top of the submarine. It also decreases the acoustic signature of the submarine. It is top secret and national. Aselsan developed it with Hacettepe University and produced it at Aselsan facilities.

Yes, but we are applying our own RAM blocks on top of it.

Maintenance is not a big issue for ships "compared to" fighters. TN ships undergo routine maintenance activities every year. 30000 hours for overhauls is adequate. As I said in normal conditions those ships rarely turn on gas turbines. They will use diesel engines and a travel speed of 15-16...

Ukrainian aero-derivative marine engines are a viable alternative. LM2500 and LM500 are no doubt the best but it is not critical as in the aircraft development. Aircraft have limited space and you are flying and should achieve a certain aerodynamic performance. You want the best performance...

Hydropneumatic suspensions, not shock absorbers. TR is on its way to producing non-magnetic submarine steel. The first national non-magnetic steel will be used on the Turkish FAC project(because the strength of the steel doesn't need to be as much as the steel that is used on a submarine)...
