Joint Pakistani-Baykar-Roketsan kamikaze munition over in Ukraine?

In a war scenario where we lose 100-500 men a day, we are bound to lose some pilots as well, that's why we have CSAR birds. It's not about the inherent value of the human life, plain and simple, they will die.

Why? Better UAE than Israel, no? Someone will HAVE to supply them at the end :D

I'm going to tattoo A T T R I T A B I L I T Y on my arm. Ukraine's invasion showed us. Tech alone doesn't cut it. If we are to have wars in this century, our cutting edge weapons need to be cheap. If an advanced Kızılelma costs 50 million apiece, it's not very different than losing an F-16 in war.

Well, we did. Naval News piece on Hai Kun did mention Taiwanese creating a local substitute. "Originally, the IDS would feature a license-produced ZOKA Torpedo Countermeasure System from ASELSAN, a Turkish defense contractor; however, as the Turkish government was tied by political factors...

Otokar just announced a 136 million $ sale of 4x4 armored vehicles to an unnamed country. Cobra 2 is riding high this year. https://www.kap.org.tr/tr/Bildirim/1225911

Plenty of TB2S models on this still with Satcoms. None of them have Turkish flags. I wonder TB2S make what percentage of TB2 exports.

Price we pay for security.

That looks less like an explosion and more like a fire. Wonder if it's an EV :D

Oh wait, this is wrong. Figure i used was 100k barrels a year. Current TPAO production is 30k barrels a day. If we could do 30k barels every day of the year, it would mean 11 million barrels a year.

Piece is from November 7, around the time we discussed it. So nothing new. https://www.infodefensa.com/texto-diario/mostrar/4521733/turquia-negocia-espana-segundo-portaaviones-basado-juan-carlos-i

Nice advertisement. Where are the ÖMTTZA deliveries tho

Sloooowly getting there.

"...On December 27th, we will watch the flight of KAAN together." https://www.ekonomim.com/gundem/bakan-gulerden-almanyaya-boyle-muttefiklik-olmaz-haberi-719838 This is from today, per ekonomim.com from an NTV live interview.

More than Umtas, a Yalman launcher. Add 4 Umtas-GMs on it, would be a great NLOS weapons platform for shallow seas against anything smaller than a corvette. TBH I never liked that location for Yalmans. Would steal from Gökdeniz's operating angle. Maybe at the back, behind RCWS? Or maybe it's...

No Umtas launchers on the sides of Gökdeniz, but there will be diver detection dipping sonars?

We don't know the extent of the tests, nor the reason for the delay if it is delayed. A successful test could mean lots of things. SSST directly copy pasted Flugrueve's piece from the 8th without giving credit to it. They are not a fully reliable source. Let's see what comes up. If it flies on...

Flugrueve piece came out on the 8th, and not clear when was it recorded. Habertürk piece mentions weekend tests presumably from 9th and 10th. If there is a delay, it is due to these test results. We should hear more within the week.
