I don't think navy ever directly mentioned an Ada batch II in the last decade. A littoral ASW corvette with not much to show for ASW equipment was always an interesting prospect. I think we can expect even TF-2000 to be better armed in that regard. I'm really looking forward to Ada MLU/upgrade.

TBH, I would expect Indonesia to initially go with Turkish OPVs and Italian destroyers, and this is uncharted waters now. TF-2000 is a great prospect, but the design itself is not finalized yet. First hull is not yet in production and suffice to say it will take at least 3-4 years for the...

This is different than Merah Putih with Turkish subsystems and will be a Turkish designed ship, correct? Interesting.

8 cell Kuzgun-KY launcher.

Really not true. American Iraqi relations were never good and after the Iran invasion started, even then they armed them via 3rd parties like France, which at the time was not a good American ally at all.

It is worst of the worst, take anything from that account with a tencere of salt.

Korkut is too expensive to be given as aid.

After 22 years as the leader and almost 50 years in politics, all he still has is his very on the line rule that he needs external support from ideological adversaries to keep it going. I'd think he'd use this next 5 years to solidify his legacy and be remembered as a leader that in the end...

Not necessarily, we don't know how much Emirati Block 60s were modified to accept the CARTS. Block 60 is a special aircraft developed for UAE, not directly related to Block 70 Viper.

Yes. As mentioned above, CARTS is not a regular CFT. And A330 MRTT can already be configured with a regular boom. In fact, most MRTT users have it with a boom, including France.

Doubt that, project is already greenlit by a bipartisan majority of the senate, there are no more decisions to be made at the presidential level. Do post a source if sure.

RMK basically transfering Ares' chief is interesting to me. What should we expect?

If there's a truth to that, we'll first learn about it from Reuters, as was the case with previous deals.

Yes but this only supports my point.

I had missed this video. Looks like two different V-22s landed on Anadolu during the exercise.

On the contrary, we rarely ever hear about that kind of stuff re US. Plenty of nonsense talk about congress, DSCA, will they won't they, but never anything about actual development, funding, details. Senate okayed the F-16 deal, who here knows anything about the specifics which are yet to be...

Emirati Block 60s don't have regular CFTs but CARTS, Conformal Air Refueling Tank System that feeds fuel directly to the main tanks, not the CFTs. It's one way to refuel F-16s with probe and drogue. I doubt we'd either procure or make our own equivalent just so that they could be tanker UAV...

Polish AP-Flyer with their Maddos VTOL UAV uses Istanbul based Blitz Tech's homegrown small EO solutions. While Havelsan uses Chinese cameras.
