A-10 was nice but is history now, highly obsolete

It looks like a cross between Harpy and Harop drone, most likely Kargi

I hope it stays that way. Burrying billions in a nonsense project is just crazy

Thanx!

Total contract value is 3bln euro (makes 1bln per ship)

1bln euro per ship and you get this. Each I-class is better equipped and about a third of that price. Well done Komsi! PS in 2027 our first TF2000 is scheduled to be commissioned

M60 has undergone 20 upgrades (I'm exaggerating a bit) and BMC has yet to upgrade a Leopard. I really lost confidence in SSB in regard of tanks while she is still remaining one of the most trusted institutions we have (thanks to all the other projects)

This is the chicken and the egg question. What comes first the chicken or the egg? What did we produce 10 years ago that needed an engine? Nothing! So nobody produced engines: no demand = no production But things have changed, we are starting now to produce helicopters, fighter planes, drones...

PG115 is the spitting image of the Rotax engine, probably reverse engineered. Rotax 914 is more than 30 years old and does not fall under patenting rights anymore (everyone who wants can in principle reverse engineer and use it, just like what MKE does with many other cannon systems)

I think we should read these type of announcements like a reminder to US address as: "we keep our options open in case you get funny ideas on the engine supply".

LOL, it does indeed look like the kizkulesi

The tender is not been hold yet and you guys know how much it cost, bravo!

classic reply to this BS: would you be more happy if the money had gone to Otokar. Or would Otokar do better with the German engine embargo. Criticize BMC and you get immediately a politicized defending with Otokar (as if not all our companies are proud Turkish companies). BMC is making kick...

So BMC is going to do the Aselsan Leopard 2A4 NG upgrade from 2011 And no one is questioning why the Aselsan upgrade has been ignored for 11 years, no one questioning to what happened to the BMC upgrade contract that BMC got in 2020? What a country, nobody is responsible of anything. SSB is...

Thanks for the info, interesting. So AMCA started prototyping alread in october 2021 but will have rollout in 2023? In that respect the aim of TFx is faster, rollout is expected in March 2023 while prototype assembly has yet to start. Parts productions are ongoing though.

This is one of those information pollution news, do you really believe all those negotiations go public? To have the real overview one has to await the contract outcome.

We can't dismiss Tejas and T-50 which are our biggest contenders. Hurjet is indeed a bit in disadvantage as it is still in development. But Hurjet has on the other side also the advantage to offer inclusion of Malaysia into the TFx project. Korea has the KFx project. Does India have a 5th gen...

There is already confusion between the Greek members of this forum, like said there is too much information pollution that many Greeks hope for super FDI for the lowest price. Foulgrim says: "2 × Sylver A50 8-cell VLS for MBDA Aster 30 and anti-submarine" (= 16 cell A50, can contain max 16...

I think Greeks are over optimistic and wishful. Sign first the contract and we will see on which the agreements are made, there is too much information rubbish produced by Greek forums and twitter accounts that many Greeks start to believe things like super FTDI for the lowest price. Nice...
