F-35 being a marvel of engineering and the best there in multiple aspects has no bearing on whether it's a strike fighter or not. It's a tad small deep strike fighter with capability to carry 2 MK-84s internally, unlike any air superiority fighters. For smaller air forces, ours included it could...

We don't know the details on Gezgin, but doubt we can use an F-4 to launch a Bora, centerline station is like 2000kg tops, unless you go for some extensive modifications to the 60 year old airframe. SOM also falls to the same category as the Rafales last month. With 250km range, you're too close...

There is no other connection to be made there. Air force planned to replace F-4s beginning from 2018 with F-35s, they planned all this, retired squadrons, modernized Malatya AFB for this exact reason beginning from early 2010s. In the original plan, last F-4 would have been retired years ago...

They were never modernized for BVR, they don't even carry AIM-120. Another big modernization would require another full replacing of cabling, modernizing the cockpit and so much more for a squadron worth of aircraft that is already outdated by 40 years, to be replaced in 5 years after they are...

Well, that's just funny. HvKK and Aselsan discussed further modernizations to F-4 2020s. F-4 2040 on the horizon?

They don't have such drones operational in numbers today as well. GUR works in mysterious ways.

It isn't. Same Olenya airbase was hit last year as well. Scope of the attack is much larger and sophisticated, but most of the airbases that were hit were also hit earlier during the war as well.

Uhh??

This wasn't expected!

Turkish Qatari Joint Squadron have completed 1000 flighthours. Sounds like some F-15QAs are also deployed there on top of the existing Rafale and Eurofighters. I bet the instructors from the 132. tactics squadron love the experience.

Untrue, it's an A.Ş. now. They are profit driven. I don't want to jump the gun and play the blame game before knowing reasons, but it's still fishy.

NSPA awards modular GBAD system architecture contracts to Airbus, ASELSAN, Lockheed Martin UK, Raytheon, and Thales The NATO Support and Procurement Agency (NSPA) has signed five Outline Agreements with Airbus Defence and Space GmbH, ASELSAN Elektronik Sanayi ve Ticaret A.Ş., Lockheed Martin UK...

Assan is given a 2 year ban from public tenders. Fishy.

"Speaking on condition of anonymity, three sources with knowledge of the matter, but without authorisation for official comment, said in late May that the airlifters would soon be arriving in the country, with two noting that this would happen “in early 2026”. Janes understands they were...

80 million USD worth of PGMs to Egypt, that's big.

First photo also shows a telemetry pod in an AIM-120 like casing, likely another pod. ACMI pod is different, different usecase.

It's much more complex than selling weapons to both sides. Over the last 24 hours: "Libya: Russia Wants to Install Missiles in Sabha and Aim Them at Europe ...The person familiar with the dossier explains: “Haftar, together with his son Saddam, is slowly advancing towards Tripoli to defeat...

I'm pretty sure you're all reading too much into it and that's a telemetry pod in an AIM-120 style casing to not effect aerodynamics.

Ahtapot EO director. FLIR for ships.

SNA groups are leaving Tripoli. And LNA soldiers joined the last Anatolian Phoenix? :D
