If this is related to TAI's cancelled THY trainer project I will be a very happy man.

Argentina to buy 24 ex Danish F-16MLUs. Could be a nice customer for Özgür in the future unless US allows the Viper mod.

This has been the plan for good and for bad for the last 50 years. Yes, it did indeed increase in scope after 2000s. Current level of indigenization is very impressive but it also comes with lack of capabilities where we operate the oldest jet fighters in our region next to our rivals, for...

That's not an answer to my point. Yes, F-35 came with a lot of baggage. Yes, F-35 possibly had restrictions. I've been saying the same thing for more than 10 years in 3 forums. All this was known, well before Turkey opted to join the program 20 years ago. F-35 is the epitome of American...

Not 2 Atmacas but 4. Two each facing both sides.

"Multiple outlets reporting Turkish President Erdoğan expected to meet US President Biden in Washington on May 9"

Untrue. People genuinely believe in the thought experiment that we did all that, had ourselves removed from the program and got sanctioned under CAATSA because we actually "DIDN'T" want F-35s. This is dumb. There were other ways to remove ourselves from the program, like I don't know, changing...

Aselsan's first airborne AESA radar made its first flight onboard an F-16 Özgür. I thought Akıncı would be its first flying host. This radar and its iterations will fly aboard F-16s, Anka-3, Hürjet, Akıncı and KE.

So far, they did. Not sure about the next 20 years tbh.

Jupiters in Turkey(under Turkish control but with US keeping warhead keys) was enough to make Soviets anxious and it led to the Cuban Missile Crisis and possible nuclear war. It of course ended with US removing the missiles with Soviets deescalating. But in the end US still kept its promise and...

F-35 for Saudi and UAE was always iffy at best and required a huge leap of faith from Trump, with every other part of the state apparatus being against it. Even if Trump comes back next year, I think that ships has long sailed. I do think Saudi can be a customer for Kaan as well. Hopefully not...

Taking a quick glance at potential customers for F-35 and Kaan, I think there's not one country that can buy the F-35 in the current geopolitical climate but would choose Kaan instead of buying F-35. Together, maybe, instead of, nope.

And now we are down to 15 frigates from last year's 16 with Istanbul's inclusion this year. Constructing next 3 I class ships back to back now make much more sense. I demand a new TCG Yavuz asap... Hopefully one of the TF2000s are named after it.

The Shahba Meeting group refused to disband the group and unite with the National Army. HTS is on high alert in Aleppo western countryside. HTS is deploying troops to Qatmeh to support the Shahba Meeting faction. There will be blood.

Looks like the refugee deal with Greece is in effect. "What is happening to Afghans in Turkey? We have previously published about large groups of people, Afgan families, who have been taken from camps in coastal areas and transported across Turkey to the border to Iran. Now they are also...

Noraddin Zangi movement joined the SNA Second Corps. @Kartal1

Second prototype of TB3 made its first flight.

More details about Otokar's 4x4 bid to Romania. Max weight of the vehicle will be no more than 10.400kg(at least for some variants or all) and 278 vehicles are to be delivered within 1 year after contract signed. Very competitive tender, no wonder why no one else but Otokar made a bid. Cobra...
