2 of the Babur class ships were built in Istanbul, while the other 2 were built in Karachi. Khyber 2 months ago.

That's because it's a poor country, don't have a high income middle class and our new money millionaires find spending money on Mercedes a better pastime. Countries with a still existent GA sector are either rich and have tradition or ex soviet countries with tradition. A larger GA sector...

Why would it be old, Istanbul visits the shipyard every month. I think it's docked at the bosphorus now for tomorrow.

Certifying an engine and creating the campaigning and aftersales support for it are probably harder than building an engine, in a market like very light general aviation. Firstly, there are no current Turkish builders that would use it. If Baykar sees a possibility there, it will try to enter...

Why? Israel has nothing to earn with an EU membership.

Machine translation will never be as good as actual translation. Black electronic defense system :D "ASELSAN MİLKED-3A3, a land-based electronic support system, will be able to detect and identify the communication systems of hostile elements. The system also makes it possible to listen to the...

Interesting, is that an RPG warhead equivalent? Looks different than the real photo below.

US is in the red 3/1 to its budget for the last 20 years, that's not how finance works. Army is a government institution, it continues working just like any other continued to work. Central Bank being in the red doesn't mean we ran out of money. 89% of the budget comes from taxes, we work our...

Not true at all. Procurement budget is of course part of the yearly budget. About 43% of the 2024 budget was used to buy equipment and services of all kinds. There is also the separate defence industry support fund, in 2024 this was 165 billion liras or about 4 billion dollars. Which is less...

If we shoot 100 billion tomorrow to fund German businesses, have a nice working relationship with Israel and no issues with Greece on Greece's terms, I'm sure they will listen to us closely. We are not KSA. We can't afford to be KSA. Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and...

Expendable sonobuoys in question are very light, 10 kilos for Aselbuoy. The housing/launcher unit and say 6-8 buoys will still come at at least 150 kilos. Anything less than that number, it's not worth it. A drone can stay airborne for more than 15+ hours. It can work as the picket line with...

It will be, once it becomes a thing. Such a test would be a Baykar/Aselsan test, not a navy test. Still waiting on that sonobuoy launcher for Aksungur, TB3 I think is too small as a platform for it.

TR is in talks with US to assume the same anti-ISIS ops these RAF jets fly at the moment.

It's not Yaycı's place to announce a Baykar capability. And it is very possibly wrong as well.

Well yes, there are no other 2007 registry aircraft. 30(-1) Block 50+s with CFT and spines for Ds are all 2007-08. This small bird is among our most modern fighters. If I remember right, this might be the first ever photo of SOM with 50+. Possible that UBAS has had a hand in this SOM equation...

F-16 B50+ with SOM, nice catch.

Özbek claims US and Turkey are discussing continuing the stalled T70 program. https://tolgaozbek.com/savunma/t-70-projesinde-kalan-70-helikopter-icin-turkiye-ve-abd-masada/

Annan Plan gave everything Greek Cypriot leaders asked to GCs. Mind you, this was still the same group of people that murdered their ethnic minority neighbours a few decades ago. What's with this chasing equality when history of the island very clearly shows that when the majority had absolute...

Turkish concessions over the decades have been big. Turkish public always by and large supported the consecutive governments in regards to this. What the other side demands is more than an arm and a leg. A withdrawal of troops without a political solution in place with guarantees? What? When did...
