With Turkish subs

It is interesting to me that Japan is considering Mowag Eagle 5 (partnered with Marubeni) and Thales Hawkei(Mitsubishi) to replace its Komatsu LAV fleet. Non Japanese vehicles in Japanese army is interesting, and other interesting thing to me is that out of all the available Turkish ones, they...

Probably an incomplete list, but Turkish Ucav users per IISS Military Balance 2024. @Zafer you got a competitor...

Albania had placed their order back in december 22, 16 months ago. Baykar's order book is so full...

By the way, I might be reading too much into this and the missiles on the first test fire from last year had no guidance sections probably, but unlike those missiles with a supposed RF seeker, this Çakır has an IIR seeker. Çakır from May 2023: Çakır from February 24 with IIR seeker

Honey wake up, new Çakır test dropped!

Tolun is a conceptual twin to GBU-39 Small Diameter Bomb. It's a small(100kgs), highly precise bomb that can be carried in high numbers by small fighters. F-16 can carry 8 at a time. For high value targets like VIPs, aircraft and radar installations on an airbase, complete air defence complexes...

This is simply magnificent. Awesome capability that only so few have. Tolun will keep growing with what's learned from GBU-39s we get from US.

Özgür I is an avionics program to modernize and nationalize various avionics of the F-16 Block 30, including the mission computer, national IFF and new MFDs. I believe there is a separate program running at the same time for structural modifications to increase service life of the aircraft. And...

Two indigenous AESA Radars delivered Within the scope of the AESA Nose Radar Development Project, the first two AESA Nose Radars were delivered to the companies for the integration tests of the radar to AKINCI TİHA and F-16s By companies I'm assuming it's Baykar and TAI?

In a world where PoW is not mired with issues, it's near useless as a carrier without F-35B without major modifications.

Something most missed, according to 2023 SSB annual report, first three F-16 B30s that underwent Özgür-I were delivered! https://www.ssb.gov.tr/Images/Uploads/files/2023%20Y%C4%B1l%C4%B1%20Faaliyet%20Raporu(1).pdf

Great news! We were 7th last year.

I read that years ago, doesn't say much about Exocets. I'll take mission logs from both Argentinians and Brits over "he did this", "she did that". We have days, dates and effects of the missiles visible on the sea in the form of hulking wrecks. Falklands War lasted a little less than 2 months...

What Turkish air defence doing........

Just seeing this. What Exocet issue? Argentina used every Exocet they had available and depleted their miniscule stocks of ship and air launched Exocets and used them to great effect. We have 6 or 8(last two missiles that missed sometimes being attributed to Gabriels from Israel) Exocet launches...

"Canadian Ambassador to Turkey, Georgia and Azerbaijan Kevin HAMILTON shared an image of the Bombardier Global 6000 Business Jet with tail number 9871 and registration number TC-SJC, one of the four aircraft (9854, 9855, 9869 and 9871) purchased from Canadian Bombardier under the HAVA SOJ...

Turkish flights to and from Watiya are a pretty normal occurrence, I see at least one every month. No recent news I could see.

Turkey hasn't paid a single dollar for Akkuyu yet. I doubt the next plant will be built under the same build, operate, own scheme tho.

Wish Americans had added that technology to their helicopters they shot down in the past, about 3 times in the last 25 years. - Sachsen Class SM-2s, 3 launches, 3 fails lol.
