Aselsan is a state company and if SSB says that’s the way forward that will be the way forward. Aselsan may also want to decouple from some works in a bid to cut costs and manhours. What we know is that Altınay have photos of Sadak 4T on its website now with the Aselsan labeling removed. It’s...

Anything we can read up on that? Altınay literally shows images of Sadak with Aselsan wording removed on its website. It looks more possible that Altınay will produce the Sadak series and not Aselsan.

No, they will as they usually do. 1 billion is pocket change for those people. No lobbying group is enough when the entirety of the establishment is against you from dems to reps.

While the future “upgradeability” is nice to have, it comes with additional costs. QE was also to be modular like that, but projected costs from before the ships were built were tiny and they decided to not follow up on a CATOBAR retrofit after having a second look. US did hundreds to maybe...

Kınalıada is not being deployed to Somalia as part of the martime deal with Somalia. She’s on her voyage to Japan with port visits to nearby countries. Mogadishu is one such stop. Next stop is Maldives.

Istif Class being so lacking in AA department is sad. In a world where we envision them with 16 AShMs, enemies soon will have the same number of AShMs as well. We plan on expanding our foot print all over the region, going as far as western Indian Ocean. Adding to AShMs, there will be drone and...

Can’t remember the exact number right now but at least 10-20(?) T625s will use foreign engines. This was announced last year.

Gendarme’s first batch of helicopters won’t use TS1400. Delays still apparent and now the revised delivery timeline is “this year”. good that KKK, HvKK and police have joined the fray as well.

Common fallacy in our circles. Weapons systems don’t win wars. Doctrines, training, CONOPS and logistics do. There’s also nothing preventing from what happened over Israel last week occurring again over Aegean where multiple countries shoot down our ballistic missiles and drones in air. US did...

Well that’s not going anywhere. The European Council has tied any progress with Turkey to the resolution of Cyprus talks • Considering past failed attempts like the Annan plan and Crans Montana. Ankara remains skeptical about Greek (Cypriot) willingness to make concessions to find middle...
