We cannot be certain whether that's the same aircraft.

Nose mounted Flir on the new Akıncı test. A two gimbal mounted version would be very interesting for ISR missions.

Aerobatics variant have been ordered for Turkish Stars, not the trainer. So far air force have not ordered the trainer version.

Meanwhile our own air force have not even ordered the trainer variant yet and literally no official interest for the LCA.

No details on composition. Might be 2 or 3 per GCS. They have a big coastline as well.

Add one more to the list. "Croatia signs a $91 million deal to purchase six Bayraktar TB2 drones from Turkey"

Lol, hardly.

Prevalent thinking is that some very older Block 30s may be retired with just Özgür I, after 2030s, this should be less than 30 jets. With the structural modernization those aircraft received in the last few years, they will be online for about 6-10 more years. Development of Özgür II package is...

While this is a pretty nice infographic, it is very outdated. For one if I remember right, targeting pod on the inner pylons instead of a Meteor never worked, EF-2000 still carries its targeting pod on the center pylon, in place of the centerline tank. So this is how its loadout actually looks...

I think this is a mistranslation and misinterpretation of his words and we are not any closer to the EF-2000 sale than we were a month ago with the start of preliminary technical talks. Let's wait a bit for some updates from outside. There still needs to be political approval from German...

Naval Insider claims some of the Istif Class frigates will have the DÜFAS towed sonar array.

Apologizing for my bluntness but who are you for China to even think about transferring two of their most prized technologies with you? These are not old B611 SRBMs. No one is sharing tech for naval nuclear reactors to be used for power projection save for their closest allies. We are not allies...

Per news, Moroccan Royal Air Force is expecting its first Akıncı to be delivered in February 2025. https://fr.hespress.com/395595-le-maroc-se-renforce-efficacement-avec-les-drones-bayraktar-akinci.html

Looks like this actually went ahead. @Knowledgeseeker "Morocco is actively pursuing its policy of military modernization with the upcoming delivery (February 2025) of Turkish Bayraktar Akıncı combat drones, manufactured by the Baykar company."...

Largely agree but, just like in US, in Turkey too foreign politics cannot be read separately from internal politics. There's a thread there we're not seeing yet. It'll become clearer in the coming months as it unfolds. For now it's anyone's guess. I just know that I don't like the possible...

Indeed, and by per the tweet, this is just training for the presidential guard so nothing changes. This I believe will be too little too late. A private company can't give the kind of training you are thinking about. Somali model with the Gorgor commandos is confirmed to be working. If you...

Don't follow him but I can say he's not the only one saying that.

Strike was less than 5 kilometers away from multiple Turkish bases in the area. KIAs confirmed IRGC. I wonder who gave the intel.

Repkon gets another contract from US Army. $435 million deal to build a TNT factory in Kentucky, US. This will be the first TNT production line in US after decades. They had mostly moved on to RDX and other expensive and powerful explosives, but wartime requires old school.
