Ancient photo, at least 3 years old from when BMC showed off Leotay. No Vuran Sungur deliveries have been made afaik. Can’t see this being accepted into service as well with that height. Middles ones are not launchers.

Untrue.

Because they are fed up with bad governance, a population and economic crisis with no end in sight and ever growing number of others. They are not fascists, they are erdogan voters.

We have talked about the impossible situation we have been in the region for the last few years and it was always visible that it would end like this. There’s no easy solution. Men we trained and paid their salaries shot at, per claims even used RPGs against our units. As we always said they...

At least one good news from today. Turkey is working on creating a deal between Somalia and Ethiopia.

We lost in Syria 7-8 years ago. What happened since then was just delaying the inevitable.

Indonesian police special forces vehicles in the background with their signature red wheel covers, probably getting ready for a new batch of delivery. Looks like the delivery is delayed by few months tho. “ The first batch of the order of approximately 80 units was delivered to the user...

Disagree re this incident. Any location in the region in question(Crete-Rhodes-Cyprus triangle) is less than 300kms away from a Turkish naval base in the region. Even our FACs and ancient avisos can be and are used to exert our claims. Reason for the silence is economic woes and our hands being...

Biden won in 2020 because he’s not Trump. People are not voting for Biden but against Trump. People will still vote against Trump. This time around, I’m expecting voter apathy and lower turnout, which would increase Trump’s chances.

Both are foreign co owned, neither use or soon plan to use local powerpacks and both have been accepted in service in very small numbers for specialized roles(recovery vehicle built on Seyit by MPG and DROPS vehicles for Derman) by the army. They are good, but not i have in mind. Seyit 8x8...

Not being able to come out with a truck family like this will always be a pet peeve of mine. here’s a need for no less than 2000 5+ ton trucks for just the army needs in the next 20 years with older MAN HXs and BMCs reaching end of their lifespan. If they invested as needed, they could easily...

Simply sending out two TB3s to circle around is one thing. Actual sortie generation is another thing, if we’re talking about naval platforms.

I didn’t call them islamists. It wouldn’t be the first time leftist or general opposition figures got railroaded into becoming fifth columnists or little helpers. I’m old enough to remember 2008, 2011, 2013 and 2015. Makeup of the group’s members have no relevancy. A 15 year old can see that...

New future headache just dropped. IS has a new province, IS Caucasus/Georgia. They may be responsible for the Dagestan attacks today.

Turkey trusts TEI to develop Kaan’s engines. Turkey is already relying on GE engines to develop Kaan itself and for turbines on our ships. TEI is directly responsible for our most important engine project, as well as many others, namely the TS1400 re this topic.

No other TAI or TEI owned company have a relevant engine project as well. TRMotor existing doesn’t take away the TEI shares away from GE. What really matters is the IP rights. Everyone wants to make money and that far down the line for a subcomponent, unless there’s a blanket embargo(something...

Shitty twitter news practices.

I don’t think that was Mete but a foreign tube launched drone.

I dont disagree with the outlook but three points. Number of countries that need a helicopter of this caliber and ones that won’t just buy an Apache can be counted with five fingers. We don’t have a project to nationalize the engines for T925 and T929 and our first priority should be for our own...

For Italians, replacing their own A129s is the main goal with token European sales. African countries that need and can afford attack helicopters already do. Being a 10+ ton attack helicopter, I do not see T929 being an export success. If T629 was around, that’s another point and can find...
