This is pretty good, wish color grading was a bit more natural tho.

I'm 90% sure Şahin is just one of the fruits of Aselsan's 40mm Atom project for base defense based on Sarp, so that tracks. What I really mean is as you say, can we employ this on all our existing Sarps of which we have many(do give me a quote if able, I think it's no less than 700) and how...

Per Levent Kemal, yesterday's big man was apprehended and will be brought forward to a military court.

Welp I missed that.

Add 8-16 to 21, that's just 29-37 in target rich environment. Italians have everyone else beat in this. What we probably need is airburst rounds for our 76mm main guns. Greeks showed that even the 127mm can be effective against slow moving air targets. It's much cheaper and ships can carry not...

I know that it can operate it, there are photos of it, and even Pars SOV vehicles have them. I meant video of it using ATOM in C-UAS role. Aselsan have been working on this for years. Below images should be at least 5 years old. One other thing remains. How efficient Sarp with Atom can be...

There are multiple limitations here. Navies don't have endless stocks on bases. Ships have limits on spare munitions they can carry. Reloading missiles, even as small as RIM-116 is not that easy. You fight with what you have, it's not even guaranteed you will be able to return to your base to...

By my understanding, this is not just about adding Mk19 with Atom on a SARP but a software addition to Sarp consoles, maybe a separate C-UAS mode the operator can activate and use easily. I would very like to see a Mk19 on Sarp in video though. I wonder how it is different than Şahin directly.

Turkey originally got 125 missiles for 4 Ada Class ships. There was also a DSCA notice from 2016 for 150 more for I Class and Anadolu but as far as I remember, that sale never happened. So this is actually about an 80% increase in the missile stock. And now Turkey only asked for more missiles...

There's really no self defence system for drones like these except for DIRCM and actual lasers. Chaff and flare is used in conjunction with defensive flying. Aksungur or any other MALE drone cannot fly defensively. A simple barrel roll is not a defensive maneuver as well. DIRCM and lasers are...

Excalibur will be the local partner of Nexter for Czechia's 62 Caesar 155mm gun order. I'm hereby petitioning to transfer MKE's 49% ownership to CSG Group. Maybe that's what we need to get some truck mounted guns delivered in this decade.

Another Aksungur down, bringing the number to 3 in the last year. No matter the politics with Iraqi army being fractured and it being strengthened with modern SAMs and aircraft from Korea and France, it is possible we will see similar events repeat in the future.

Middle section looks slimmer, probably due to image quality, but the given full weight is unchanged, so should be 96 still. We probably will see a new model in Saha Expo in October and we'll have plenty of photos. Last model we've seen with 16 ASMs behind the funnel is very outdated now. That...

As expected :) Seems COs of Wasp, 4th amphip group and the 24th MEU also visited Anadolu. We haven't seen much about it in the media, but this was a pretty big occasion. Less so for the training but the diplomacy part...

With the speed Poland is arming itself, it was expected that the TB2 wouldn't be the only point of partnership between two countries. Let's see if we'll see any action in MSPO next week. We could expect more drones, USVs, munitions. Seems Tulpar is also up for contention for Poland's new heavy...

Most of these should be in relation to the new frigate class they’ve started building few years ago. It’s Babcock’s AH140. Most of the subsystems will be Turkish.

Seems this was from last year when it visited there and not recent. Sad, we are passing another claimed delivery date, which was August 2024 for 2 T625s.

Double rack? It's carrying a DB-110 recce pod in the middle and 2 empty pylons at the wings.

Training part is interesting, as the possible Hürjet-N will probably be the most powerful naval aircraft they will use anyway. Which brings a operational question. To train naval attack pilots, you also need a Hürjet-N trainer that is different than the LCA squadron. That's at least 20-25...

I think it is wrong to say Çafrad is the heart of TF-2000 anymore. Design changed considerably and that tweet line is outdated. ÇFR is now tasked with surface detection, EW and IFF, not anti air warfare, which is the main task of the TF-2000. "Since the S-Band UMR, which was designed for early...
