    TR F-16 Özgür | Hürkuş - Fighter Trainer Aircraft Projects

    Unless they are thinking about employing Cs on for COIN, that's a big number. Big enough to think that maybe HvKK's beloved 40 KT-1Ts are goners. Re COIN and HvKK, in a country where police operates T129s and KKK operates TB2s, giving HvKK armed turboprops for overwatch and COIN is just dumb...

    TR Military Operations in Northern Iraq

    Much changed since 90s and most of of the retired generals either cannot see it or doesn't want to accept it. PKK employ hundreds of kilometers of tunnels inside mountains now. You can't enter, kill and exit from those places. You can't control what goes in and comes out of tunnels unless you're...

    Either the prototype was made with foreign components and stayed as a prototype or in the great minds of army cadre, they didn't like the performance enough on T129, postponed it to T629. So we have 60 T129s without any radars. That's the thing with prototypes. Having them doesn't mean shit if...

    TR Military Operations in Northern Iraq

    Almost an entire forward operating platoon. There will be many questions to be asked on Matin once this winter season ends. All that tech, hundreds of drones. And it still falls to our most modern jet available with a Sniper pod and a HGK-84 to rain fire.

    They're gonna have to eventually, we can't move on medium size helicopters with Mi-17 engines. Apart from being wholly different than what we are building with TS1400, TV3 engine is also ancient. T929 and T925 is a dead end without local 2400+ hp engines.

    Yup, Dost Class is a nice little ship, no way this monster fits that hangar. Not sure if the helipad can even accommodate it.

    HvKK procurement is a tad different. This is not the first time these missiles were tested, and i believe they were tested with live warheads before as well. In Idef 2023, first LRIP production was signed for 25 of each. I believe this test is part of the acceptance tests of this batch. If live...

    New video on possible T925 models. We know that Forestry Service model is already coming and it's the first one shown here as well. As well as the air ambulance and offshore support version. And given MTOW is now 12 tons, instead of 11. This thing gains weight faster than me. At this point, I'm...

    From a sailor's perspective where they plan 20-30 years ahead, I'd think medium would mean 15-20 years. I expect MilDen to be diesel electric with AIP as others, but after that...

    No, that's TAI's 12x FFAR rocket pod. Cirit is carried in insulated launchers of 2 or 4. Looking closer, Nigerian T129s are even more barebones than Filipino ones, no self defence equipment apart from the flare launchers and RWR receivers that I can see. Compared to a Filipino T129B And a...

I'm begging people, please always take these with few kilos of salt and always chase the actual piece. I'm trying to be lenient to Oğuzhan here, but it's hard...
