Lovely close ups of Gökdeniz on the Filipino frigate BRP Miguel Malvar

And our first ever look into phase 2 of Aselsan's Chilean Leo2A4 mod program, ATS-65D commander's EO sight "It was predicted that ASELSAN would use the ATS-65 commander’s sights for the second phase of Leopard 2A4 modernisation for the Chilean Army. Previously, internal systems like radios...

"Following his visit to Chad yesterday, Chief of the LNA Ground Forces, Saddam Haftar is believed to have made a secret visit to Abu Dhabi today." - RSF base in Eastern Libya, making Egypt uneasy. The venn diagram of alliances, relationships and enemies in the Med and mainly around Libya...

Being TR based, currency is always an issue, but did my best anyhow. This is a good platform we love, need to keep it running.

First Indonesian A400M, seen with 2 underwing refueling pods. This is a capability we could also achieve relatively easy and cheaply, which would create some contingency to Typhoons being refueled. Drogue adapter for KC-135's boom is not a real solution and it's a workaround.

First test fire from the new Pusu Cirit against a low flying drone at 3k feet.

If we get 50 Kaans by 2030 we also won't need any foreign aircraft. There are things that are possible, and there are things that are nothing more than a birthday wish. Drones are not substitute for fighter aircraft, we need fighter aircraft.

"Turkish President RTErdogan expected to host 3lateral meeting on Friday with Italian PM GiorgiaMeloni & Libyan FM Dbeibeh in Istanbul, Türkiye. Exploitation of energy resources in the Mediterranean will top the meeting, incl. economic cooperation & migration flows."

Camo says they are.

Small boys like these make so much more sense with police than army.

Because we need to test both, as we need both.

They were focused on engine spares and servicing of such engines well before they were in the business of making shells.

"We have this offer from the Turkish partner and it is an offer that we do not want to miss, because we have a lack of capabilities, this is known, all the equipment is NATO interoperable.

I think it gets lost in translation and he's not talking about 120 months starting. If he is, that means they accepted paying very heavy fines in the long term to get a partner now; that'd be dumb. I think he's talking about solidifying the MoU to a contract in as little time as "1.5 months"...

We don't know when the contract starts.

I changed my mind. Hürjet will be a great stand in and a stopgap on the way to Kaan.

Integration to Kaan starting in 2032 means Kaan won't be delivered with TF35000 in 2032.

We should pool money to get what can be gathered for FDI BMS :)

Mainly Gezgin cruise missile. Both Atmaca and the longer land attack variant Kara Atmaca should be fine on regular tactical length VLS; they come at 5 and 6 meters. But that's just my guess, we haven't yet seen the vertical launched Atmaca, maybe it will have a longer booster.

Yes. Design change during class construction. There was no MIDLAS when Istif design was finalized and then updated about 7-8 years ago. It was supposed to be Mk41. It was first updated to MIDLAS and then updated to a larger height MIDLAS we unofficially dub the strike length because of Gezgin...
