This list is not official, take it with salt.

In the same vein, Aselsan signed a deal worth €210 million contract for "Electronic Warfare, Radar, Communication, Navigation, Weapon, Electro-Optic and Underwater Systems for naval platforms", with Dearsan-Desan-Özata shipyards, who I believe are responsible for this program. "Deliveries will...

Per Naval Insider claim, next 4 Hisar Class OPVs are to be named as followed: "Sultanhisar (P-1222/TBMC), Yarhisar (P-1223/TBMD), Demirhisar (P-1224/TBME), Sivrihisar (P-1225/TBMF)" All 6 names are 1/1 lifted from the 1960s Hisar Class patrol ships, and of course previous ships beforehand.

Per the weekly briefings, first steel cut and welding activities of TF-2000, MilDen and MUGEM were completed.

SAGE is back from its long sleep. https://www.sage.tubitak.gov.tr/hava-hava-fuzeleri/gokhan/ "The "National Ramjet Powered Air-Air Missile (GÖKHAN) Development Project" contract was signed between the Ministry of National Defense and TÜBİTAK SAGE on May 21, 2021, and activities were initiated...

They are, shared by BMC today.

I thought airframe would have more composites. The yellow primer Hürkuş we argued whether it was the Hürkuş 2 few months ago is still in the video acting as the chase plane for the actual Hürkuş 2.

First footage is great, pretty low minimum arm distance. If budget wasn't an issue, it could be a great mix between NLAW and Javelin.

This is a joke design, not real.

Another slide previously unseen showing the mission loadout of the MCMV. Multiple types of UUVs, ability to carry 2 USVs as well as 2 RHIBs. Also an infographic detailing the weapon loadout for the Hisar Class OPVs, which have some very interesting changes, which does make me curious. First...

Per Sünnetçi, for Portugal's AOR tender for two ships, STM and Damen were the two finalists where STM's bid was chosen. Great success against a very important competitor. https://www.linkedin.com/in/ibrahim-s%C3%BCnnetci-b2951544/ - And a nicer side view of Dearsan's FAC design for Qatari Navy...

US law and the relevant NDAA is clear on the requirements for Turkey receiving F-35s, Turkey "should no longer have" the S-400.

Baykar to purchase Italian aircraft builder Piaggio Aerospace, most known for their P.180 Avanti. Very interesting news. Seems there was a tender made by the Italian state, and Baykar won. Piaggio had financial troubles for the last few decades with few bankruptcies and its board was made up...

What UAE really wanted was the defence agreement with US and being labeled a "Major Non-NATO Ally", not necessarily just the F-35s. Few months ago they were labeled a "Major Defense Partner", not yet where they want to be. Both Saudi and UAE are still on track to receive it under Trump. If we...

Technically speaking there's no "6th gen fighter", and definitely there's no such thing as a "6th gen aircraft". They are all marketing gimmicks. Chinese don't even use the same American system for fighter generations. Better low observability and better integrated avionics don't make an...

There's a second one as well. That's how you do christmas gifts.

If I had to guess, because noone else in the world has the need for such an engine. All of the competitors of Aksungur and even Anka use turboprop engines. 358 uses a small jet engine. A killer drone with this engine would be too short of breathe.

Aselsan announced a €50 million sale of "land weapon systems" to a EU country.

Look at to the outer pylon, one of Aselsan's Antidote EW pods. They also added the target being hit. Wonder if some electronic warfare was part of the test.
