Problem to be managed and threat are not the same things. All our main projects in land, sea and air are dependent on American and European subcomponents. Current government has cost us a full decade in foreign policy in all the theaters we are active, maybe save for Somalia. That's a decade...

CG, but looks very nice. - Looks like an Egyptian pilot took the Hürjet for a spin over the pyramids with an Egyptian F-16 in tow. Funnily enough, there's a not so small chance both of these aircraft were built by TAI. TAI was contracted to build 45 F-16s for Egyptian Air Force in 90s, out...

We are determined to strengthen our consultations with Egypt, with whom we share similar positions and objectives on many issues. During our meetings, we agreed to establish regular consultations to resolve regional issues, particularly Gaza. In addition to Gaza, we also discussed regional...

Nope, just a bad model.

More movement by US Navy drones north of Tripoli and Benghazi.

Looks like no delays or last minute cancellations. Sisi is set to visit Turkey for the first time since 2014. Multiple topics on agenda from energy, security, trade and a possible big weapons sale.

Even with embargo in place, customers would order the EOs from Wescam and have it attached by Baykar technicians in the host country. So I doubt that.

Doubt, it adds unnecessary complexity to the design. Maybe with Kaan in the future.

EO is hard, building them in numbers for the cheap is harder. Looks like Turkey bought 25 million worth of "Optical devices, appliances and instruments" from Canada in June 2024 alone. Surely there are some smaller articles in the total number for medical and recreational use, but suffice to...

Boran is not a niche product, it's a 105mm gun built to replace hundreds of 70 year old M101 and M116s in service. If anything, 76mm gun is the niche product that will maybe see 50-60 built during its production cycle discounting spare barrels, if we're lucky. Boran was exported to Macedonia...

3 years passed, where is it? This is the same MKE that boasts with delivering 7 Borans a year so I'd prefer seeing them in real life first.

For some reason, I really doubt it. Really hope the gun is not what delays the deliveries in the future, huge possible bottleneck. To add, we don't know if the navy is interested in the 76mm gun for CIWS duty, just that it would be great to have it as option. But it won't be an option unless...

Google Translate failed me...

Göktuğ tests continue. GÖKDOĞAN, our first indigenous and national air-to-air BVR missile developed by TÜBİTAK Defense Industry R&D Institute @SageTubitak, hit the target aircraft with pinpoint accuracy during the capability demonstration firing test activities conducted with the Air Force Command.

"According to the information I have received, the acceptance of the first three serial production T625J GÖKBEY Helicopters has not been completed in time for August 30, as the ongoing Military Certification activities of GÖKBEY Helicopters have not yet been completed. However, pilots...

Don't remember seeing it before. What a weird relationship we have with US. Can't get the more basic stuff but underwater insertion vehicles for frogmen is apparently okay. Should be the Stidd DPD-XT. Nevermind, HI Sutton article from 2018 shows SAT as a user, so should be an old procurement.

Catch up :) JnGK is a civilian agency now.

"No such thing", clarifies Levent Kemal.

Looks great! Still not delivered though. Another wasted promised delivery date, but at least we get an eye candy this time. Delivery should be soon.

Talk is cheap. "One of the most important tests for the Organization of Turkic States as a regional power was to develop a common strategy in foreign policy. Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, and now Uzbekistan do not want to give up the relationships they have developed with Israel."
