A big YPG convoy entered Tal Rifat from the regime territory. IMHO hell will break loose in Tal Rifat. We will see the decision after the Astana talks. Tomorrow is the last day of Astana talks.

What he wants is to remove the word "Türk". Turkish is translated as Türk. Türkiye is translated as Turkey(old)/Turkiye(new). He believes Turk refers to ethnicity and is harmful to the ummah. Since Turkiye refers to the land it is less harmful. In the second phase, Turkiye will also be changed...

That is an R&D project. Prototypes will be produced and tested. If it is deemed satisfactory then land forces will consider purchasing it.

Yeah, usual Erdogan backtracking. He tested the waters and this time it is too cold to swim. There was a really huge backlash against him. It is not a good time to push ummah bullshit while the nationalist feelings are strong. Religious sentiment in Turkiye has seen its peak and it is slowly...

Gökdoğan Block I 70km+ Gökdoğan Block II 100km+ Bozdoğan 30km+ Akdoğan no info as of today.

Neither the US nor Russia approves of a possible Turkish military op. Some experts expect the operation to be postponed. Turkiye wants Tal Rifat, Manbij, Ain Issa, Darbasiyah, and Tall Tamr from Russia and offers to open and secure the Aleppo-Idlib road. There are no agreements after the...

Yes. Ford, Koç Holding, and SK On are partners in that project.

Do you know what happened to a friend of mine because of that? He served in prison. No joke. He beat the man who slapped his wife or girlfriend I don't remember. The guy fainted and is hospitalized with a broken nose and one of his front teeth broken. His wife/GF witnessed against my friend in...

There are rumors that the R&D center of BMC in Ankara is closed down. 1000hp powerpack is progressing without problems. The R&D project will likely finish in 2023. Vehicle integration and mobility tests will start after that. 1500hp powerpack has problems with the transmission part. Engine and...

If we bring every university project here as defense news we can't stop talking 7/24.

There is a chance but I highly doubt that.

M-60TM is a further upgrade of the SABRA Tank. Basically, an up-to-date upgrade of M-60T SABRAs. On top of that we are replacing every fire control system on SABRA tanks. https://www.defenceturk.net/m60t-tanklarina-yerli-ve-milli-atis-kontrol-sistemi-volkan-m If we upgrade M-60A3 with...

No. I'm talking about something like Tulpar with add-on armor. That is over 40 tonnes in weight. A real tracked heavy IFV. A part of the 2900+ vehicles will consist of tracked heavy IFVs I don't know how many. Those will be similar to German Puma...

We are not talking about old M-60s here. We are talking about a SABRA level upgrade. Sabra can withstand hits from ATGMs. SABRA protected its crew many times with its add-on armor. I don't think a medium tank can take a hit from an ATGM and its crew survives to tell the tale.

No decision on that yet and I don't think upgrading all M-60s is logical .M-60TM weighs 56 tonnes while medium tanks weigh 35-40tonnes. M-60TM can be classified as a heavy tank. We also need to design a new turret for the medium tank because Cockerill doesn't sell us their turrets. Turret of the...

A life lesson for all. Don't try to interfere or break up a street fight or a fight between a husband and a wife.

AKP wants to turn Turkiye into a multicultural ummah with a light sharia rule governed by a Caliph. Things were going really well on that front until PKK wanted independence (PKK was emboldened by the peace process, AKP accepted PKK autonomy in peace process talks but PKK wanted everything just...

Well, the references section speaks for itself. It seems like HST will be responsible for the production of the power pack or at least the transmission part. X1100-5A4 transmission can be coupled with engines up to 1500HP and can be used for vehicles up to 63.5 tonnes.

Or this might be a good propaganda method to villainize the Turks.
