Aselsan touted modular structure for Şahin in the past so a more comprehensive C-UAS package they can offer to Gulf(as we'll never pay for such a thing) can be made.

Aselsan's Şahin pedestal mounted 40mm gun with ATOM, made specifically against drones, would have a lower range against drones compared to a 50 cal on paper, at I believe about 600 meters. But in reality a hand cranked quad 50 cal turret without any real optics will be effective at 500 meters at...

I don't think this is the win you think it is.

Certainly. But when the 65 year old M113 decides to throw a fit and breaks down when the base is under attack or if the FPVs are too fast for the hand cranked 80 year old turret, questions arise. We are not Ukraine being invaded by Russia. Number of bases we actively defend on the contact line...

Grandpa in action. :)

I don't confuse.. Saffet Uyanık twit I linked mentions it.

Possible Gökbey sale to Saudi? "At the World Defense Show held in Riyadh, we signed a memorandum of understanding with the National Industrial Development Center (NIDC) in the presence of our President of Defense Industries and the Minister of Industry of Saudi Arabia. We wish it to be...

Some news on KKK's own YNZMA NGAFV project. I remember people asking why do we even modernize old ACV AFVs and APCs when YNZMA was just on the horizon. We now have our answer. "The total requirement of the Turkish Armed Forces in the New Generation Armored Combat Vehicles project was around...

"The ground tests of the Murad AESA radar on AKINCI have been successfully completed. Flight tests are expected to begin in the coming days."

Lovely collage from the introduction video on possible options on Pars Alpha. From https://twitter.com/rmalpsoy

I mean not really. By all accounts, those 6 fighters are Turkish property, paid for and delivered to Turkish air force. Them being confiscated would be akin to UK confiscating the Ottoman dreadnoughts in 1914. US broke the contract on F-35 and they are stuck with our F-35s. They can't deliver...

ÖMTTZA(100 vehicles. 95 sensor, radar, CBRN and command vehicles, 5 IFVs for gendarme) was signed in Dec 2019 and had a project length of 36 months. All deliveries were to be completed from 24th to 36th months. At this point, no deliveries have been made and program is 2 years behind the...

Nope. This has to be the second project Otokar with Rabdan is also taking part in. FNSS and Otokar managed to be direct competitors again. Unlike the leak, no mention of removable mission modules tho :( And also no mention of a hybrid drivetrain or powerpack. Alpha looks to be built for Saudi...

Per the leaks from few months back, yes. https://defencehub.live/threads/land-vehicle-programs.154/page-105#post-299376

And here it is. FNSS Pars Alpha with Teber 35 with 1x OMTAS ATGM on both sides of the turret!

As I thought, this was from World Defense Show Riyadh preparations. Expect nice quality images starting from tomorrow. Let's see if Saudis are interested in it.

RQ-170 like never seen before.

Uuu great news. Wonder if a modernization of the old birds is planned. AF300 is... old.

Even if we did none of that, size of the brigade needs to be increased. We used to have 4 LSTs and 30 landing ships. We now have an LHD that can carry a full battalion and all of its support group itself. Only 27 MAVs for marines is a crime.

Do we have figures to compare vs others? I don't think we do.
