Two images have nothing to do with each other. Top one is a placeholder design to showcase Kalkan 050G radars, below one is Altuğ with Korhan turret.

What a lovely day, what a lovely boat with a lovely name.

Tuna engined Vurans have been delivered since 2023 in batches. News is that first Kirpis with the same engine were delivered this week.

While it's not talked about much, I think guys at TAI and SSB over the years grown out of their relationship with the Italians, call it growing apart from each other after 15 years of marriage. And army guys are the most conservative people I know. We have no direct need for any tiltrotor or...

Tells you all need to know about this clown. I'll be seriously considering removing posts based on claims made by this guy unless they have other sources backing it up. Useless drivel.

Interestingly she only carries 3x4 Atmaca ASMs, missing the second portside looking quadruple launcher.

They use HEAT warheads for anti armor duties. Speed of the projectile is near meaningless for that kind of warhead. We've seen hundreds of footage over the years, if an AFV is hit by a MAM-L it's either dead or mission killed. Using UMTAS on drones in place of MAM-L opens up possibilities for...

Still no news about the continuation of building further hulls after 2024, right?

Atmaca launchers of Oruçreis, seen for the first time up close. They have a sleeve like overlay on the middle section, covering most of the electronics and cabling possibly against corrosion from salt water. Checking old photos, I see that ones on Istanbul also have them, but not on Kınalıada...

After a decade, finally!

More than likely they originally wanted to mean a new card that uses 5nm chips. Why would FLYBVLOS, a small drone company would enter the chip business like this otherwise. Let's wait for better sources to have an opinion.

I believe these are the Suleiman Shah and Hamza groups that make up SNA's "joint forces". One of the most trained and one of the better armed groups in SNA, mostly made up of Turkmens, and trained by Turkey. I honestly can't believe we couldn't make an actual fighting force out of them after...

Latest model shown is implied to have VLS.

Interesting news. Aspilsan's Hydrogen Unit manager announced his departure from the unit/company. Said unit was part of navy's AIP project for Reis Class and Milden submarines. "Just a few days ago, we were rejoicing that the first welds for the first MİLDEN Submarine had been laid, but the...

TCG Oruçreis will join the Mavi Vatan-2025 exercise, most of her new equipment after the MLU will be used for the first time.

TF-2000 will be a real behemoth...

That's very interesting. Wish we had some more clarity on construction and on the loadout. Let's see if the shipyards announce a contract with Roketsan soon.

Akbaba claims Dearsan will build two while Desan and Özata will build one each. All in all, this brings the shipyards that have built/will build a Ada hull ship to I believe 10? TAIS, Istanbul, Istanbul Naval, RMK, Dearsan, Desan, Özata and KSEW in Pakistan. What a design.

Turkish Navy is now the world’s 10th largest navy by aggregate tonnage as of January 2025, replacing Indonesian Navy from last year.

From what's put out I think Dearsan handles the MCMV by itself, unlike the Hisars with "Dearsan-Desan-Özata". Contract announcement would likely mention it separately.
