I have said this many times in the Turkish defense forum. RAFALE is not a cutting-edge 4.5th gen fighter. It has a very small (838 T/R module) GaAs AESA radar, and it can't take full advantage of the Meteor missile. Other than the SPECTRA EW system, it doesn't have any shining features. F-16V is...

Turkish Technic and Rolls-Royce are setting up an engine maintenance center at Istanbul Airport. The facility will do the maintenance of Trent XWB-97, Trent XWB-84, and Trent 7000 engines starting from 2027.

There will be a turbofan engine for one of the variants of Gezgin.

Gezgin will be in blocks. The first block is a joint cruise missile that both land, air, and naval forces will use. There is a length and weight limit due to air launch capability.

Note that Atak has both an integrated jammer and a jammer pod.

He hinted IDEF. I hope SSB gives permission to speak

New measures from CB to support the Turkish lira. Basically, capital control policies.

Permanent magnet or any kind of electrical motor is child's play for the Turkish industry. The real problem is a compact nuclear reactor that will fit inside the submarine. We should cooperate with Pakistan and any willing third party. Pakistan has valuable nuclear reactor know-how. Pakistan has...

Yes, but it might be kept secret.

AF-600 will fly soon, according to Ahmet Akyol. He compared AF600 to a telescope, which emphasizes the expected range.

Yeah, that is probably all of the A and O batteries and 1 battery of Siper produced up to now

Net FX reserves in billion $. 50+ billion $ evaporated in 1 month.

According to Aselsan General Manager Ahmet Akyol, the number of platforms on which the MURAD 100-A AESA radar has been flown increased to 5 Those platforms are probably F-16 Özgür Akıncı Hürjet Kızılelma Global 6000 test bed. This also shows there is an ongoing LRIP production for MURAD AESA.

They are good, but their usefulness will be limited once DIRCM systems are integrated into big platforms like Akıncı.

President Erdoğan: “Let's see how many more CHP members will perish on their way to the presidency.” There is nothing to say anymore... We are in a de facto dictatorship.

There is serious degeneration at the high command of the Turkish Armed Forces/MoD. We have an unremarkable yesman as MoD right now. Before that, we had a muppet who has been taken prisoner at his own HQ by his own hand-picked men and slept on the job while some officers plotting a coup...

Hürjet and Hürkuş should be produced by TOMTAŞ. This will free many hands at TUSAŞ and will keep TOMTAŞ alive.

I think TB3 is getting closer to taking off and landing with a full mission load. Of course, munitions will probably be training versions or dummies with the same weight and geometry

The Turkish Navy has a strict policy to maintain and gain maintenance capability for its own ships and boats. The Navy probably invested in capabilities to do the maintenance work for the TCG Anadolu.
