Hard disagree. This didn't start with Gaza war, it's been going on slowly since Karabakh was liberated in 2020. Events around us may hasten or hamper it but end route remains the same.

Is it? Half of the job of a good GA aircraft is low costs, how can TAI as the giant that is build such a helicopter and make money doing it while they're building satellites 2 hangars down. It doesn't make sense. We are thinking it wrong. We have many startups here as zafer outlined, but nearly...

I wasn't expecting Pashinyan's visit. And the first state visit from an Armenian leader since the country was formed? It's not talked much but this is important.

We know what Garibaldi is. There's obviously some show here, but maybe this is a 1+1 deal for transfer of Garibaldi and a new ship.

Looks like it wasn't really related and Uçaksan is still unable to get a first flight license. Emre BALCI, Founder at Uçaksan Aircraft Systems Let me give you a brief summary of the video I shared in my previous post. First of all, institutions currently under state administration are in the...

It is a pretty nice photo. Pakistan did help us immensely after the 2016 coup attempt to retrain pilots, especially as instructors after US shafted us again by denying our requests to provide instructors and take in Turkish pilots, saying their own pilot shortage was worse and didn't have any...

Turkey needs those jets today, but won't have 120 Kaans by 2035 either.

I had figured it was a typo tbh but also possible.

Disagree on tweet. First, first Özgürs are already now in active use with units. Second, Daggers are based in Konya, so that's her home base. At the background, Qatari Eurofighters are already deployed for AE25.

France could really be considered the most unserious country in the western hemisphere.

You're buying me that patch by Erkmen if Pakistani JF-17s with recent killmarks show up in Konya 2 days later :P

That leaves out UAE, Pakistan and Oman. I really doubt Pakistan is not an active participant so their reporting must be wrong. or outdated. They don't have tankers, as far as I see, they usually join the regional exercises, maybe in the future.

Here we have the participants for Anatolian Eagle 25. 10 regional countries, good start. It'll be an F-16 and Eurofighter fest with hopefully Hungarian Gripens? https://www.instagram.com/p/DLGLpSSAa3J/?hl=en

First link is a pretty nice retelling of the events I mentioned. Horrible program if your idea is to arm your armed forces. It's pretty good if you plan to get rich though. We do know that Nurol can build and deliver, much much more quicker, see Estonia.

Knowing Hungarians, that factory in Hungary probably fumbled hard and unhappy with results, government updated the agreement to produce the vehicles in Turkey. This was signed years ago, should have been completed by now.

Multiple Ejder 6x6s at Kayseri 2. ABFM, including those with Georgian camo. We haven't saw any Georgian Ejders in years. I wonder if they are being serviced here or were returned and being refurbished to be sold to other countries. One on the left both have the Georgian camo and the more recent...

Italian armed forces chief visits Turkey. After Italy also started courting Haftar following our footsteps, potential issues between the two are being ironed out. Now only Israel and Greece/EU remains; two huge ones. But nice to see cooperation going forward in Africa, EastMed, Balkans.

It's all guesswork. Word sensitive could mean those things, but it could also mean one of the three owners of the program saying "no".

Re Turkish purchase of Eurofighters: "There are still some hurdles to be jumped over" for Turkey. One of them is "quite sensitive". Make of that what you will"

Having supply chain issues now doesn't mean that we won't also have them later on. We also don't know what supply chain issues apart from the titanium parts. If we are still unable to get the parts and equipment necessary from Russia for example, issues continue. Supply is lacking for all over...
