It's one of the Mekos. It shows where the starboard quarter Sea Zenith would be. This is a CGI Levent model added on a real photo.

Fidan is in Egypt today. His plane landed in Arish in the Sinai and will presumably visit Rafah first.

"Turkey blocks Gaza Flotilla from departing Istanbul, the organisers say" Thank god. This is the same group from the 2010 incident with IHH being a big part of it still.

Literally more subclasses than any other contemporary. Ufuk needs siblings :sneaky:

True true, all 7 are to be built private. Can't be the F-516 from Anadolu as well, first block was delivered in november 23, probably outline is just now becoming visible. Navy deserves and needs a tall ship to go along with Savarona, won't change my mind... Could probably employ something like...

Wasn't Khaibar launched in 2022? I remember seeing her much more "ready" than this. Bridge design also looks like Istif. But also true that 3 Istifs shouldn't be here as they are built by TAIS. Could it be the 5th Istif perchance :love: Isn't TCG Akar still in service? Maybe A581 to replace...

And a video. TCG Istanbul saluting the Savarona s such a proud scene for me. And second Hisar Class P1221 Koçhisar is being fitted out at the background. Can't see P1220, we haven't seen much of her since her main gun was fitted back in april. Behind Koçhisar, another Istif class is in...

Look at this beaut. Savarona, under navy command since 2019, she was renovated beginning from last year and made its first sea trials this week. Per navy, she will be used for training first and then as a museum ship under its own power, visiting various ports around the country. Looks like she...

Engine is usually one of the biggest parts of forcing a design to look a certain way. I really doubt Baykar is thinking about building a manned aircraft in the future. It's different that everything they know and are used to with much, much thinner margins for error, harder to make money with...

More than likely piece is not great either. Spain ordered 27 A400Ms, received 13 so far with 1 more on the way and wants to offload the remaining 13 which are yet to be produced and are slated to be delivered from 2025 onwards. That six number should be in relation to Turkey's request.

Very likely people themselves are compromised. We saw this before the Ukraine invasion, every single thing US intelligence said became true.

Spain currently does not have plans to build a second, larger carrier. They had made plans more than a decade ago for a second LHD but they went nowhere. There is currently some external push from pundits or two (both articles talk about Turkish programs as well for the interested) for a second...

It's a doctrinal usage of the wording, not tactical. Nothing put out there over the last decade suggests Hisar A can fire while moving, not yet at least. Hisar A is not TOR.

Can it? Nope. It can ford through a meter of water. Korkut with its waterjets is amphibious, Hisar A isn't. It wasn't a requirement and doubt it can being that top heavy.

Nomads also have a radar. It is also much more mobile, can fire on the move and I bet much less maintenance intensive than Hisar-A with its swivel mount for its launchers. What Hisar have in its advantage is the EO suite however.

ACV-30 like carrier with 4 IRIS-Ts from Kongsberg. Pretty sure it's much more "autonomous" than Hisar-A+

There goes another. An Anka-S was shot down after the latest Aksungur that was damaged/shot down less than a month ago. Need countermeasures for existing ones, a new HALE drone a la RQ-4 and a political option to force Iranians to cut the supply off.

Autogyro is a German company. Skyolympos is their Turkish partner and handle sale, training and maintenance of Autogyros and Sirius aircraft, as well as some ultralights in Turkey. No info on unit costs but they use a simple 100hp Rotax engine like on TB2, so must be pretty cheap to run. Also...

Showcase on JNGK's autogyros. Looks like they are equipped with Aselsan radios and Lapis Aerospace EOs.

Milgem was a great thing when it was started 20 years ago with Heybeliada, now it's a family of many vessels. "National Ship" doesn't hold the same meaning when we will have 17/25+ of them in service in 2030. Sadly the naming is now outdated, no one nowadays doubts we can build our own warship...
