This previous news is now deleted from his website, and SSist says number is 12, again. Why do I even bother...

SDF is not PYD. We just did the same thing today.

Semi related: Vice President Yilmaz, who met with the UK Defense Minister: “We welcome the positive progress of the negotiations with the UK regarding the Eurofighter Typhoon procurement, and we share a common vision with the UK regarding the development of our cooperation in third countries...

Continuing to learn the wrong lessons from the war I see...

Latest update on the Typhoon buy. Not very different than the latest updates we received in the last month. Any other info on the specifics like numbers of aircraft, munition, specifics of the systems onboard, spares, training regimen, delivery timeline etc will be clear once the letter is...

"An agreement regarding the procurement of land vehicles payloads has been signed between ASELSAN and its local customer valuing EUR 296 Million. Deliveries will be made between the years 2027-2028." Aselsan's share of the 25 Pars Alpha deliveries? Cost seems a bit steep, but the Alpha variants...

They ordered 2A8 and also formed a joint company between Rheinmetall and Leonardo to build the next gen AFVs based on AF51 and AF41. That's at least a decade away.

Now that's a sales demo. Carbo's hand gestures read to me like "it just goes!"

Per latest infographics that spot is now reserved for Roketsan ASW rocket launcher and not Yalman.

True, but it doesn't end there. Even with its behemoth of a radar, Kaan will need external support to see the enemy very low visible aircraft first. All 5th gen aircraft do. It's more than just the engine, or just Kaan. Radar and SAM umbrella we need to build will probably just be hard and...

We will be the second ever to use E-7s with Typhoons. There'll be a lot to study together with the UK there. They have to, because they need to sell their products which lack the said very low observability features. No aircraft that carries its payload of 2 1000l tanks and 4 AAMs under its...

Akhisar with her crew compliment.

News regarding HvKK modernization. Writer didn't mention their source, so we do not know how good they are. Seems to usually track what's been officially mentioned in the last few months. "As previously reported, Türkiye will not receive the Tranche 1 model of the Eurofighter Typhoon fighter...

Estonian Arma 8x8 and NMS 4x4s during the independence day parade.

I don't agree with this. Arjun was delayed and was outdated. Altay is delayed but it is not outdated, if anything it is still very much modern. M60T1 have more modern electronics than Leo2A7 but in an obsolete layout. Carry them to Altay, and it is still modern with future upgradeability added in.

They did BMC's signing ceremony today in front of the still in construction factory.

A brand new delivery schedule to say that serial delivery is postponed another year and T1 is back in our lexicon. What a sham.

Aselsan's workshare for the 29 Altuğ IFVs is 3.3 million euros per vehicle. "A contract worth EUR 96,852,535 was signed between ASELSAN and BMC Otomotiv for the supply of Remote Controlled Weapon, Military Communication, Recognition and Identification, Self Protection and Navigation Systems...

"Modularity" is a buzzword. Alpha won't have mission modules that can be loaded and removed like on the Boxer, and this is a good thing. Boxer's mission modules only make sense for tiny armies that can't operate more than 50 vehicles at a time. It's a waste of time and manpower.

Giving support variants to Alpha, while giving the mainstay IFV variant to Altuğ must be a sick joke. BMC has literally no experience in IFVs and Altuğ is yet to prove itself in the export market. Vehicles have been in tests for more than 2-3 years now. Awarding this low number of vehicles for...
