I'm expecting a Spanish local participation and development award to be signed rather than a deal between TAI and Spanish MoD. They will probably develop a Spanish Hürjet which will then enter its tests to be given the award. Let's see. Reading the article: "This event will mark the signing of...

No way to know that before an extensive look.

Turkey heavily relies on its partners for development of arms and for its security, and plans to do so continuing forward.

Otokar isn't present at Feindef-25. But Arma II with an EM&E 105mm turret and Indra radars is shown on the Indra stand next to a Dragon VCR. I don't expect much to arrive from it, especially after yesterday's news about Indra looking to buy Iveco's military division. With good moves, a joint...

I don't get it.

Sevres was better. We wouldn't have kept fighting and lose innocent people, there would be no issues with the foreign countries as we were to become a rump state in a tiny portion of Anatolia.

No. That's an Arma with a Chinese turret on top with an other name written on top. Otokar will give every single expertise to build them in house if they finally win it, they don't have any. Otokar is happy to do business and doesn't care what do they call Arma in countries they sell, doesn't...

It has never been about skill but political will.

This the old, original mockup.

They are doing those negotiations for the last 5 years almost. Arma was the clear winner of the tests over 2 years ago.

Turkiye will have the second-largest international presence at Spain's major defence and aviation fair FEINDEF, showcasing its strength with key firms. TUSAŞ, Roketsan, Havelsan, MKE, FNSS, Nurol Makina, Canik, SDT, Savronik, CES, and Sarsılmaz will prominently represent Turkiye. Turkiye is set...

Do we have a link to this, I don't think this looks like what would CNN make.

Leaked photos from before Feindef-25. Fair will start on the tomorrow on the 12th. https://theaviationist.com/2025/05/11/first-look-hurjet-spanish-markings/

PT-3 and PT-4 deployed to Anadolu again For Denizkurdu-II-25. We can see PT-3 armed with 2 inert MAM-Ls. There will be live firing against land targets from UAVs on the 14th, this is presumably a test for that. Using live MAMs on drones aboard Anadolu will be a first, looking forward to that.

Rafale is not superior to J-10C. Turkey opting for Chinese or Chinese tech aircraft is unlikely as we have our own commitments and issues that require a NATO hand at play. And CAATSA still exists.

It's not a new squadron per se. It was formed last year from aircraft and crews being sent over to Dalaman, some of them were 401 squadron aircraft, but probably not all. https://www.aa.com.tr/tr/gundem/gok-vatanin-demir-kartallari-yeni-yila-nobette-giriyor/3439113 Brings the new total to 10...

Soldiers like real food, very simple. Will never beat fresh produce with MREs filled with additives.

Also one has to wonder Indian strikes this evening was about stopping the retaliation or trying to incur as much as damage as possible before it starts. Should be interesting.

Retired army generals are idiots everywhere, hardly a topic for this thread. Let's not derail the thread please.
