IIRC, back then, F35 was about to have two different designated cruise missiles within the internal weapon bay. One was the Norwegian missile and the other was SOM. Roketsan and LM had signed a deal for modifying it to fit within the internal weapon bay. After Turkey was given her marching...

No. Since the conformal tanks attached, they should be Block 50, the latest block in TuAF inventory. I’m not sure whether Özgür will include conformal tank upgrades, though.

Three TuAF F16s with conformal fuel tanks rolling out on the runway for a V formation flight. If it is the text you are asking about that reads “Not virtual reality but real”, I don’t understand what they’re referring to either.

If this is the case it’s bad because market economy, as we all know, suggests that individualism and private property are the main propellants behind such a model. Defense industry is the new rising star of Turkish economy and a very strong candidate for a leading role in country’s economy...

I wish our members and guests all around the world a happy new year.

So, if this is Panther mounted on truck, it’s a new system and called ARPAN. Then what happened to Yavuz?

well, every Turkish defense project according to national media, either is poor quality or the Turks are the only and first ones did the damn thing in whole wide world. I don’t care as they are a bunch ignoramus who don’t know jack. And similarly for foreign mainstream media, together with...

I guess everyone will agree here that it will be the legit next gen proper stealth flying wing or form UAV. It was highly expected, anticipated by defense circles anyways. Accordingly it is only normal to have some common features of the class, mainly flying wing form. Also must add that I do...

And not to mention, what, like around fifty percent of our annual imports?

@what I am one of those who oppose but as I said before I raise my objection for certain countries and also must emphasize that I’m not against arms sales to such countries. The buzzword here is dependent. And let’s face it, who could know this better than us, Turks, who countless times had to...

Thank you I was just gonna tell it looked quite far fetched

That’s great however as Afif pointed out there are few established brands dominating the market. Will ASELSAN go all the way and develop further in the future and maybe make itself a respectable place in the market? Maybe even offering stand alone units for different users in various fields, for...

For such such a small ship it certainly packs a heavy punch. I think this class definitely deserves the unofficial classification of “pocket“ frigate.

Finally! And of course at the moment we don’t know which yard and when, right?

By the nature of their craft, soldiers are doers unlike politicians and diplomats who tend to be ”able” guys. That’s what I like about them (don’t get me wrong, I love diplomats) and this gentleman is obviously a driven, calm, dedicated soldier. What strikes me most though, was his admission of...

Like many other Turkish defense projects, Altay is surrounded by too much misinformation (false or inaccurate or deceptive forms) and mishaps, failures, and wrong turns on its way only aggrandized this over time. Rarely, however, you hear a first hand account regarding the project with facts in...

It was just the way I wanted. A close game coming and going between two sides and stars giving their best performances on both sides of the turf. And Messi finishing on a high note. It was beautiful! (y)

And I grew up watching Maradona and only got older watching Messi and yeah, he is the best thing since Maradona :love: ¡Absolutamente señor! Vamos, vamos, Argentina :p

This is a European only list but in my day some of the brightest chemistry students studying in Europe (university students, not high school of course), Germany in particular, were Iranians. Nevertheless, Impressive results, considering how Turkish National education system eroded.

If my memory serves me well, it was planned to eliminate the manned turret and introduce 130mm gun on Altay Batch 3. Was it in the original road map or the batches were redesignated later, that I can’t remember. Sorry. At any rate, due to cumbersome size of 130mm gun, unmanned turrets are a...
