If the navy is interested in using the Hürjet as part of an OKU/MUM-T, keeping the second seat could be preferable.

This is true. Percentage wise, we probably also have more of them than the Americans as well. One thing KKK really liked and use en masse. Some of the 12 SOVs had 2 on them. The ones on these photos are two of them.

Gotta say, i was actually surprised this didn't make worldwide news. Missing the other car is not good optics. hoping for the next time.

Seawolves don't have the VLS but I believe could launch TLAMs from the torpedo tubes.

Huh, seems i was wrong.

Let them, we've seen how this played out in US, a disaster. Navy must have the capabilities to maintain its own high value vessels. Smaller ships like coast guard corvettes, OPVs etc can be argued upon, but anything bigger than a frigate should be left to the navy. To move the point, Reis Class...

More shipyards is great and all, but is Aksaz the best place for such an installation for our most strategic vessels, being that close to Crete.

TurAF should first increase the ordered number of aircrafts to replace the T-38 before anything else, current order is to replace the NF-5s of Turkish Stars after all. Navy Design Office's carrier design clearly have Hürjets on it, so we know that the navy is interested in a combat variant even...

Sisi to visit Turkey as a president for the first time ever since he assumed office after the coup more than 10 years ago. He'll be in Ankara in Sept 4. They have much to discuss like Gaza, Israel, Iran, Gulf, Libya, Sudan, Ethiopia and Somalia. As well as further partnerships in energy and...

First time seeing that payload, wonder what it is. Actual tweet from the Poles:

T625 first flew in 2018. We didn't create the expectations, they were claimed by the company GM at the time.

2 Pars IV 6x6 SOV APCs of the special forces command was present in today's joint Turkish Russian patrol in northern Syria. Special Forces Command uses 12 Pars SOVs for these kinds of missions.

J-6001, first production T625 Gökbey for Gendarme is in Güvercinlik joint base, presumably for more trials and/or certification tests. J-6001 was rolled off in 2022 and is still not officially delivered to JnGK.

Finally! Pirireis is being officially inducted. On August 24, 2024, Aksaz Shipyard Command Opening and Naval Platforms Delivery Ceremony will be held with the presence of our President. Following the inauguration ceremony; PİRİREİS Submarine will enter service, HIZIRREİS Submarine will start...

Not jealous at all...

I think NG's main selling point for it apart from the corporate speak is the modularity of the design and its claimed low cost of build.

So the total T70 deliveries as of august 24 is currently standing at 14, good info to have. First delivery was to JnGK back in december 22, so that's 14 helicopters in 19 months. Hope the license is extended by the Americans or this will be one let down and joke of a program. - And to add, if...

I'm pretty sure the reasoning for that is OPSEC, throwing the attacker off and misleading them about the identity of the vehicle. Pretty smart, but units that attack SNA, also attack at our own as well, so not that big of a deal.

Maybe, maybe something related to that. But ESSI as I understand it is less about joint development and more about pooling together money to buy the set systems Germany operates for the members, like the Patriot, Arrow 3, Iris-T etc. Maybe ESSI funds part of our Steel Dome for use in Turkey...
