Assumptions usually lead us astray. GCS/aircraft ratio would be based on Indonesian needs. That is a pretty big loadout, and Baykar would probably need to be a part of the design team for the carriers, I think. 4 drone carrier LHDs would be very expensive, but also a very big force multiplier.

I think "ready" means something very clear. Rocket science is easy enough to track. It's a big rocket that can be watched from land, air and space. When MSLS is ready, we will know that it's ready. They have plenty of test launches to conclude until then. And Fergani's satellite swarm is made...

Most large drones require very long runways. TB3 on the other hand is tailor made for STOL operations, either on a flattop ship or on a short runway on a small island base. Jawapos piece mentions "60 sets of TB3". It's unclear if that means 60 ground control stations and 60+ drones or 60 drones...

More details: Two deals were signed, Baykar and Roketsan will create two joint venture companies with the Indonesian state owned Republikorp. Baykar deal: "The first agreement was signed between Baykar Makina, a global leader in Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) technology, and Republikorp. The...

I really doubt Fergani's satellite swarm will be proprietary for Baykar drones. And I think your timeline is a bit too optimistic.

So are Akıncı and TB3.

Details of the design are lacking. Not clear if this is a Desan design or they will just build it. From Malaysian sources: "MPMS have a endurance of 30 days without resupply , will carried 4 Fast Interceptor Craft ( FIC ) , a heli deck , medical and prisoner facilities....Multi-Purpose...

Indonesia signed a 300 million deal for Anka-S back in 2023.

Indonesia "placed a large order" for Akıncı and TB3s.

New Gökdoğan test. No details on the scope of the test.

Desan to build a "Multi-Purpose Mission Ship" for Malaysian Coast Guard. Per the newspiece, program was allocated a budget of about 80 million dollars last year. No news so far on the options being activated for LMS batch 2...

Yalçıntaş left BMC a month after this presentation, to my knowledge BMC still doesn't have a CEO at the moment, a year later. Maybe Fuat Tosyalı himself is the acting CEO now, they certainly didn't announce it publicly. If a new batch of outside powerpacks are being ordered in the middle of an...

I think if anything this solidifies the claims that Utku is delayed. Fırtına-II deliveries have been continuing with this engine/transmission setup since 2023 already. If more transmissions are ordered, that could mean more engines are ordered as well.

Names for the next 4 Istif class ships currently in production finally revealed. F-519 TCG AKDENİZ F-520 TCG KARADENİZ F-521 TCG EGE F-522 TCG MARMARA They will be named after the 4 seas of Turkey: Mediterranean, Black Sea, Aegean and Marmara. This is also in line with tradition. Previous...

Disagree on this. They've shown that when they wanted to they are very much able to either directly stop or really slow down programs. ?. Countries don't have friends. They also don't have enemies. There's only money to be made, this is something the current government excels in. What Repkon...

I have to say, I don't really understand this point of view. Firstly, Germany was, presently is and will continue to be a large defence partner to Turkey in the future. We build our frigates and will build our destroyers with German engines, we build our submarines with German license, we built...

Erdoğan to visit Jakarta, Indonesia this week.

This Savaş Medya is on my radar for the last 3 or so days, it's a shitty non source.

They failed to stop the Meteor sale to Egypt. Egypt finally will have modern long range AAMs after 40 years. I don't know whether we'll eventually get Eurofighters or Meteors with them but it won't be down to Israeli protests.

"The American withdrawal will be partial and not comprehensive. as American forces will withdraw to the Al-Tanf base and the PKK will leave for Iraq or Iran. SDF leaders will submit asylum applications in Europe. There will be some clashes."
