Otokar is to offer Arma to Argentina, Ecuador and Colombia as well, nothing concrete so far. Loving this Latin expansion.

Yes. A university from Chengdu working with PLA is passing knowledge and is expected. But when you make a list of these and a pattern starts to emerge where you see that an absolute majority of Chinese defence companies headhunt Chinese students that studied in US and European universities while...

That in itself is not an important issue. These are Government to Government(G2G) deals and are usually publicly shared. No issue with sharing these kind of stuff. As I've said in the past tho, subcomponents with foreign suppliers being made public is an issue. A subcomponent supplier of...

C-7s we use do have L16, no? Not sure if it's a two way datalink tho.

Near everyone was part of the Sevres, Japan was allied with UK and France in the war.

"Thales is supplying the S-Band telemetry telecommunication transponder equipment for AYAP-1, the module that will go to the Moon. The contract was signed a few days ago."

Then this must be something else and not PKK specific re how they view things. Maybe a new designation.

Looks like an M48 Patton with original 90mm gun.

Totally. For one, let's not talk tout selling Kaan to Pakistan before the damn thing is even flying. None of this is yet really clear tbh. No matter what is the outcome, TEI will be a big part of the development of the engine. Whether it's by itself or via TRMotor with Kale, which TEI now owns...

Created a real political crisis out of those marbles. This has been brewing for years. British point on this is clear, they don't let go of anything. Greeks are right on this. Parthenon marbles should return. This is actually one of few venues where Turkey and Greece both see eye to eye. Brits...

I was just coming here to post this too. Interesting layout on Milgem+. Bow mounted Levent? This indeed looks like an enlarged corvette or export. Taken by Xavier Vavasseur.

NLAW's top attack mode is different than Javelin. It's fired near the enemy vehicle, flies over it and detonates with a proximity sensor. It can also be used with a regular fuse for direct attack. Basically:

Prediction line of sight or PLOS NLAW uses falls somewhere in between tbh. It's not unguided, but it is also fire forget, you can't add deviations after fired like you can with SACLOS guidance. It's cheap too, 1/5th price of Javelin.

Only in Turkey you would see 2 local replacements for such a niche product. Good luck to both companies.

Not a possibility. 18 launchers with 118 missiles are to be delivered. https://defencesecurityasia.com/en/karaok-roketsan-missile-malaysia/

Altınay's ASIST replacement is dubbed the Kuşkapanı/Birdtrap. I like it. Its acceptance tests were completed aboard TCG Istanbul.

Akbaba also mentions Karaok sale to Poland being already signed. Haven't seen anything regarding this so just keeping it as a possibility for now.

Not sure. Serial production was to start already but those guys aren't army guys so doubt these are acceptance tests. We also don't know when was this shot, but Karaok is set to enter service in 2024.

Sunday candy. Karaok test, 3 in 1. Ohhh

I was thinking about researching about this for some time. Geopolitics and force posture of Bangladesh. Will take a look hopefully tomorrow.
