Aselsan İhasavar man portable anti uav system with Argentine soldiers, during a recent exercise.

If this was indeed negligence on his part, retiring the general would be the way forward indeed. Rest is up to the courts to find if he was related to the act directly.

Unsure about the organization but Selçuk is its CEO.

OSINT does love private contractors. It’s a simple ramp, should be ready by now.

Taliban became a regular military and government within 2 days of achieving complete rule. HTS can refrain from all that because they know they’ll never get the recognition. Bigger question is, what will we and Russia do about them.

Disagree on the use of word clone there tbh. Kaan is very different than what the Chinese are doing because we did not steal or retrieve any secret data like the Chinese did from F-22 and F-35. Stealing in defence is very much fine, so is copying(no rules in war), but that’s not what we’re...

That vision started in late 70s, exacerbated after 2004 SSIK and continuously went forward. Turkey placed first F-35 order in 2014. In 2015, it ordered 4 more. By 2018, ordered aircraft had risen to 30. We had already started payments for those aircraft and first F-35s were to be delivered to...

Turkey did not decide against F-35. Turkish gov tried to get both the S-400 and the F-35 and then got booted from the F-35 program. Turkey still wants to receive the F-35s it helped build and already paid for. Rewriting history is counterproductive and is basically lying. You can’t “clone”...

This was one of the most interesting incidents of the last few years. Rip to the pilot. Indeed looking forward to any results of an investigation.

Not any one of the mainstream Turkish makers. Looks like an IAG, unsure tho.

Checking open sources, nope… building of the other vessels are continuing but if the original 62 months building to delivery timeframe for each vessel is still valid, Pirireis is behind the schedule by 6 months from revised delivery timeframe and about 3-4 years behind schedule from original...

French Foreign Legion with more steps. Not the worst idea if it could be used efficiently tbh.

Existing multiple Cirit launchers are anything but small tho. Cirit is not a small missile, nearly 2 meters long and each missile weighs 15kg. A man portable double Cirit launcher would weigh at least 40-50 kilos. Cirit was never designed to be man portable. A Karaok for example weighs 16 kilos...

Sage is not in the business of making money and they’ve made several systems they later gave to Roketsan for production over the years already. Sage’s Bozok and Kayı munitions were developed as Roketsan had problems building enough MAMs back in the day.

We probably are, but do we? I don’t see it in Syria or in Iraq. Tears have nothing to do with it. Iran is already enforcing its will over the region in Syria, Iraq, gulf and even Caucasus. Over the last 15 years, we’ve sat back and watched as the Shia Crescent was formed near our borders. More...

To add, Güler has a more soft spoken rhetoric. He uses that wording a lot. Said “our American friends” this week as well.

I don’t think it’s about the needs. From the most basic point, STAMP is probably used by a higher rank NCO while a deck pedestal mount could be manned by a lowly private. Don’t think navy expects a seaborn VBIED attack in a port in Malaysia.

We will never have a “complete” umbrella against Iranian ABM and drone threat. And this “lowkey” approach to Iran is not just related to IRGC standoff capabilities. Iran can be a pain in the butt for us without ever firing a shot over the border or on our bases in Iraq. Like that one time few...

Ada Class ships already have 2 STAMPs. That pedestal is for something else.

NEW: Japan's Embassy in Ankara has posted this message on its website saying: - the PKK has been recognised as a terrorist group since 2002 - but it's now been added to Japan's Public Security Intelligence Agency's (PSIA) list of terrorist groups —— Furthermore, Mitsotakis will visit Erdogan...
