As far as I could see this is from one of the closed meetings where government showed the civilian losses on Oct 7. I dont think this is WP. For Israel with US backing, cost of Tamirs is not an issue, build and delivery times are. Still not clear if Hezbollah will enter the fray. They have...

And visual confirmation. Project deadline is 2027. Makes me think they will be part of a greater retrofit for Gabya and Ada class ships. Probably not as extensive as Barbaros MLU but doubt Atmaca will be the only capability increase they will receive. Actually interesting that Kılıç I/II won’t...

E-2D is the best platform that can be at that size, it’s venerable. Just think that currently we have no need for such a design on our ships and possibly will never have. There’s a reason why the French just went ahead and bought E-2s for their own carriers and will now replace them with E-2Ds...

Not sure if this photo was posted here before. Hürjet from the cockpit of Hürkuş. No HUD yet, must be a few months old.

Suffice to say, that will be left to drones for the navy. Something like a Merlin Crowsnest could also be interesting for T929 in the future.

Russian missile part, found in Ukraine.

Per Mavivatan.net, Atmaca missiles will be integrated into 3 Ada(4th ship already have them), 4 Gabya and 4 Barbaros Class ships. https://x.com/mavivatannet/status/1720004284584968500?s=46&t=7tiosvwkaTbbgoSMbRgrzA

I said in the past that I don’t think this kind of venture was smart for TAI and it would pull too many resources. For an up and coming company like Uçaksan tho, it makes perfect sense. Love it.

Chile has also opened a 8x8 tender to replace their aging Mowag Piranhas. 40 vehicles are to be procured for 111.8 million $ in the first batch, part of a bigger 200 vehicle program. “Several companies, including the United States’ General Dynamics Land Systems, Italy’s IVECO, Finland’s Patria...

Peru is interested in buying 30 8x8 APCs for a sum of 60 million USD in the first phase of a program aimed at procuring some 178 8x8 and 123 4x4 vehicles. Arma 8x8 was apparently army’s choice beating opponents from Serbia, Poland, China, Canada, Korea and Pars 8x8...

And we thought Ukrainian War had bad press coverage. Most of the claims I’ve seen are pure bullshit of the most uncorroborated kind.

This is a multi billion dollar ship. Anadolu cost more than half a billion. Trieste costs 1+bn. Such a ship would cost at least 2-3 billions and noone’s going to give us EMALS tech as well so few more hundred millions there.

Also on a possible SSN or SSBN, look I will be the first one that will want the next Cerbe or Dumlupınar to be nuclear powered but is it really the first order of business when we need new surface combatants asap? Also thinking it out loud, would this be the first Milden class or a second type...

Erdogan said this as well tonight. “Hopefully with the Spaniards, we will build a higher version of this.”, referring to Anadolu. It’s not the first time he mentioned a possible bigger Trakya but first time mentioning Spanish I think Spaniards part here interests me. I’d think a bigger version...

Two thoughts. Is this why the talks with RR has been non ending for all this time? Is it smart to make this public and potentially get a torrent of bad pr for RR which may or may not force them a rethink?

The day history was rewritten, the day so few changed the destiny of so many. It has been a tumultuous century to say the least. We, the leaders, the infamous will all die. But this republic will live forever. Here’s to the second 100. Bayramımız kutlu olsun 🇹🇷🌹

No. Turkish ships in this graphic are part are part of UN mission UNIFIL for Lebanon and NATO SNMG-2. These task forces are not there to aid US CSGs. They are just NATO and UN affiliated task forces in the region. US’s possible actions in the region will not be under NATO as well.

Can you link me for the first one being delivered to JNGK? We know that one was sent to a JNGK base back in may for some tests but im not sure it was actually given to them. It was to be delivered in August.

Interesting that the third JNGK T625 is yet to see the sunlight. And 2 months left until end of the year.
