Maybe, if the ship is going in reverse. -

That's basically the standard and will be the operating standard unless it's an emergency. -

She's a big girl now, has her own place! :D

We didn't talk about it much, but Anadolu was in the shipyard for the last 2-3 months and drydocked for about a month. I believe this was her first drydock since she was launched in 2019?

By Baykar posts of the last 3 days, after Anadolu's long visit to the shipyard was complete and she sailed again, in the last 3 days TB3 made at least 13 takeoffs from and landings to Anadolu.

Some nice high AOA maneuvers at 10 seconds mark but surprisingly still no footage of the supersonic flight. It shouldn't be that hard... A Samsung phone in an F-16D chase plane would be more than enough...

I thought we were done with this bullshit, it won't change anything. Law doesn't run backwards. No amount of recognition or non recognition won't mean anything. Just hoping that it won't be something that takes effort to keep it as is going forward, stealing spotlight from things that matter.

It's what we are left with at the top of the army after 20 years. Unserious yesmen. He wasn't ever supposed to be at this rank and should have retired as an unremarkable 2 star general from the mapping command.

KKK doesn't know what it wants.

Hürkuş can't take any role given to fighter aircraft already not filled by drones. We have 39 KT-1s in service, Hürkuş is set to complement and probably replace some of those aircraft, as well as some duties of T-38, which will later be complemented with Hürjet. If anything, 55 number seems...

We don't do shame in this country.

Answer is we need to have both. My possible solution is acoustic detectors coupled to the RCWS like shot finders. But APS also do need to have the option to counter FPVs. I think that's nothing more than something they're working on. In that video, actual Sarp used to shoot down drones was one...

Turkey lost its first soldier to a FPV drone attack the other day.

Per official TAI gazzette, TAI will deliver 15 Hürkuş IIs to HvKK this year, with remaining 40 to be delivered by 2027. https://www.tusas.com/medya-merkezi/Dergi?s=1&d=2025#4670 Pretty tight schedule of about 15-20 aircraft per year, hope they also get some export contracts, would be a loss...

TAI gazzette issue 140 confirms these cold weather tests in Kiruna, Sweden were for military/civilian certification process. TAI also received the Production Organization Approval (POA) from SHGM for civilian version of T625. They had applied in 2020, and received the POA on december 2024...

Still better than losing a tank to a drone though. RCWS are very light skinned, they won't survive long in an open war, so we can't expect them to take over the anti drone duties.

CCIP upgrade, purchase of source codes for block 30 and 40 and the purchase of 30 Block 50+s were signed in this government's term. Those remaining 29 B50+s are the only new fighters incurred into service for the last 30-35 years.

Nope. And Sarp anti drone capability is nothing more than a plan for now. Also no jammers and no anti drone capability for Akkor so far.

Was it? How?

That is either Khyber or one of the Ada class ships going maintenance.
