Thinking about capabilities this would bring, doesn't ESSI use Patriot for long range, and Arrow 3 for ABM? How do we get into *that* ? This is not THAAD or SAMP-T that we may think about getting into with some back and forth.

I already wrote about it yesterday on this same forum, it's on the last page. Noone forced us to use 40 year old tanks against modern ATGMs and use horrible FSA militias as an infantry force to protect the tanks. There are no contemporaries to Leo2a4 that could survive Al Bab, it was hell on...

I mean, all arms procurements are political decisions. Still, Leo2 came out on top of all tests we ran and it was the best tank available for our needs. Original Altay was basically a Turkish Leopard 2A7. There were no other tanks we liked at the time, literally. K2 came much later and even...

Lol, maybe an anti-Starlink EMP for LEO. Now, that would be an interesting capability.

I mean, if they put nukes in space, it still doesn't change much. Be it for a first strike or a second strike, US doesn't have the ABM capability do shoot down all, even most warheads. No one does.

I think it's just a big whole smoke and mirrors.

A "Russian" capability.

And Turkey continues to not follow the international law as well as its own laws on actual political asylum seekers to be nice to Iran. Wonder how many Iranian political refugees we've sent to their deaths over the years.

New details on MILGEM warship exports to Malaysia Malaysia is preparing to procure three MILGEM ADA Class Corvettes from Turkey as part of the LMS Batch II Program, in the first phase and eight in the final phase. The contract could allegedly be signed in the first half of this year. As part...

There are no available after action reports to read about that day. What we know is that tanks were hit and immobilized, they had to be evacuated after tank borne SVBIEDs started coming from the fog, and later air force bombed them. We don't know if the damage they received earlier was...

After 10 years of bs.

This is the unofficial Turkish line as well. Tanks were left behind and then struck from air to stop their capture.

This is at least the 4th instance of a Turkish company helping set up munition production lines in another country.

Same ship btw.

MKKA(Pars IV 6x6 SOV for ÖKK) and ÖMTTZA(İzci for signal, command, radar+5 IFVs for gendarme) were different programs. I believe MKKA deliveries are complete. Which was a much more expensive(albeit produced in low numbers) and advanced vehicle. We are yet to see ÖMTTZA deliveries, 3 years later...

I love it when they don't overpromise and keep to their schedules!

By "design phase", I think they mean CDR is now complete for it and design is frozen. So second prototype can't be that far, we should see it soon. 27 consecutive flights with the first prototype is a great milestone.

I don't think preliminary MTOW figures for updated( after 2020] Kaan were made public by TAI. Correct me if i'm wrong. When that 27000 figure was first touted, then TFX was to have 2 20k lbs engines. Specs for the design changed after 2019.
