Pretty simple overview from Morst, resident Turkish Libya follower. What's going on in Libya? After yesterday's developments, many people asked how things got to this point. Let's explain a little. 👇 With Türkiye's entry into the region, the GNU army supported by Turkey had reached the borders...

Although we don't have official figures at all, I'd be very surprised if it was more than 150. SOM had a very troublesome development between 2011-2022. Only now after localization of the engine can we expect a larger number, and even then, it's an expensive munition.

ASM placing. So it won't have 4x4 but 3x4. Maybe one more set could be installed just fore of the starboard one as the port one at the fore seems installed a bit more to the side?

Public campaign continues. We knew an Airbus Eurofighter was to be sent to Idef 25 this july for both static display and a flightshow. Per RAF Typhoon Display Team's 2025 schedule, they will come to SHG Airshow in Eskişehir in september as well. That should be a good one, hope it flies with the...

M-346 is a pretty less than average choice for a next generation trainer, it pretty much sucks kinematically and has a tiny engine that won't be able to generate enough power for any next gen features they want to simulate. Leonardo is of course pitching it, as they would like a bigger pie of...

We don't have any details but Eastern Libya also needs drones, to first track refugee waves from the south, which Italy will support, and to keep RSF and other militias in Sudan from crossing into Libya as they are losing badly. We don't have many details, but I think this is with the blessing...

Well, that was unexpected. By the looks of things, Netanyahu quite literally left empty handed.

Türkiye explores partnerships with Airbus Spain, with the Hürjet for the Air Force in its sights. "Turkish delegations have visited the company's facilities in recent weeks."...

I think he's also alluding to F-35s here. "Any problem that you have with Turkey, I think I can solve. I mean as long as you're reasonable, you have to be reasonable, we have to be reasonable."

I don't think a greater Turkish/American cooperation which will include F-35s as well will not come without a greater understanding regarding Iran between the two. F-35 is not the crux of the matter, but it's the most visible one.

Netanyahu is pushing Trump to bring US over to a reconciliatory role in Turkey/Israel spat. -We don't want Syria being used by anyone including Turkey as a base for attacking Israel -We don't want a conflict with Turkey in Syria -Turkey has a good relationship with President Trump -We have...

As we all expected. Israel's Netanyahu lobbying US against F-35 sale to Turkey, sources say "Netanyahu looks to maintain Israel's qualitative military edge over Turkey's air force with tensions in Syria rising Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has been lobbying US Secretary of State...

And now we come to this: "The Libyan National Army (Haftar's side) and Turkey reached a major agreement. It was agreed to start negotiations on the purchase of military equipment from Turkey in the field of weapons and UAVs and to provide training on their use. Development of some military...

What Aksungur requires is a sonobuoy launcher.

If you're going to retort a point, please do read the thing you send as a reply first. I did actually read that 2 weeks ago so I do know that it doesn't actually say what you think it says. It's a nothingburger "US should cancel the F-35" piece like hundreds of others in the last 20 years...

Unclear.

No single country reduced or cancelled their orders yet. We could still get share of work without purchasing F-35s. Presumably we will never get anything as I really doubt Turkey returning to the program as a manufacturer is in the cards at all at this stage.

Uzbek leaders are not beholden to Turkish ones, that's not how any of this works.

It's the camel story basically. His premise is wrong, for starters. Israel didn't just use ALBMs against Iran. They used everything from small drones to kill Haniyeh to cruise missiles and ALBMs. F-35s may or may not have flew all the way to Zagros mountains or not, we do not know. There is...

No, not at all. He's clueless.
