As far as I understand it, it's a single vehicle with Yener mine detection system. Still a milestone tho.

I agree. They'll probably cut prices. And Otokar can be much more accommodating to light weight needs, like in the case of Estonia, Arma for Estonia is almost barebones. Unless Korea offers second hand K-21s, Tulpar has a chance i think. Let's see. Tulpar really needs a win at this point.

ASCOD, K-21 and Tulpar are participating in Latvia's IFV tender. Should have bought some Otokar stocks damn.

Our modern FACs are on the heavier side of FACs. If i remember right, Lürssen classifies the Kılıç Class as a light corvette. At 40 knots, they are also not the fastest FAC out there. Maybe due to low number of main combatants we have, over the years, FACs were also used for patrol duties, even...

We can't ascertain if that battery will be delivered to HvKK or even if it did if it will be used as a battery though. I can be wrong tho, that's happened plenty of times in the past. All the better if we are talking about 3 batteries total.

As far as i understand, nope. 2026 for delivery, 2027 for option. Presumably 1+1. Which is where i came to the 11 number for total deliveries for Hisar+Siper, which is of course not official, just a guess. Watching the ceremony, For KKK, original Hisar deliveries are to be completed on 2025...

Yup, seems there's an issue with plugins. I meant this graphic Defence Turk shared. It's not official, but if they took Siper's 1+1 delivery timeline as standard, it would mean 11 systems.

HvKK to probably use Hisar A+/O together in a single battery? https://x.com/Fatih_MehmetK/status/1736052454024732828 And going by the graphic, which is based on the graphic from the signature ceremony, TAF to induct 9 Hisar and 2 Siper batteries into the service in the next 6 years...

I mean, there's not much you can do about this. TN has its own ideas in its own future. MSB has the job of managing the budget they are allocated fully and to the best of its capabilities for all branches. SSB has the mission of maximizing defence sector participation and needs so that it can...

Wording is interesting. It's of course unofficial in its tone so maybe not smart to take a meaning from there but he says "a larger Anadolu" and "an aircraft carrier". Length itself doesn't mean much. America Class also come about at 260 meters. Kaga is about 250. Wish we knew about specifics...

Semi related. Polish are thinking about a SPAAG based on K9 hull.

Simply put, this is the case. This can be many things, from all over the world. It's impossible to ascertain which is which, what makes these figures. But almost four fifth's of Aselsan's workshare is in euros. Siper, nor Hisar, can exist without foreign parts. A system this complex cannot be...

Was gonna say, looked Syrian. Hamas also doesn't have TOWs. - Israeli foray into Lebanon in near future as a "preemptive strike"?

That's what i meant by other stuff. If such things happen, it won't be announced by TK.

TK announces the much awaited big Airbus purchase for 355 aircraft. In line with the growth targets set out in the Strategic Plan covering the years 2023-2033, the Incorporation continues to negotiate with aircraft and engine manufacturers. In this context, our Board of Directors - 60 A350-900...

Hisar and Siper serial production agreement finally signed! Aselsan's total share is about 580 million euros. Within the scope of Air Defense Systems, the Presidency of the Presidency of Defense Industries and ASELSAN signed a contract and contract amendment amounting to EUR 428,538,878.16 and...

In that vein, I wish we could have some idea on what percentage of internal security UCAV sorties do the drones land with their munitions still on their pylons. Carrying live ammo is always a gamble.

Chinese People's Liberation Army Daily newspaper: Türkiye attempts coordinated operations with drones and unmanned boats Not long ago, the Turkish Ministry of Defense announced that it had carried out the world’s first joint operation of unmanned surface ships and drones. It is reported that...

We lost what, 20 to 30 percent of our flyers in a year in 2016? Yes, every lost pilot is a monumental loss in experience as well as time and money in the drain. No one doubts that. We can't replace the aircraft we lose. In a time of war, we will lose pilots with their aircraft. Point of...

Yup, don't recall a single instance of Zaslon during the war.
