All this BS talk about onion vs national security. You can't have national security without the onions. TSK is probably at its worst funded time of the last 100 years. Billions worth of R&D budget doesn't account for the hole in the army's pocket.

Someone was asking about it over at TRMilitary the other day and now it got me curious. Of the 160+ M60Ts that underwent the M60TM package, nearly half of the tanks also got the telescopic periscope TEPES. Otokar's Altay AHT/AWT prototype also had a telescopic mount. Wonder why they didn't...

They're testing my resolve with these low-res leaks.

That's literally the same thing the guy's been saying for years. Ragıp is muddying the waters.

To be honest, I never really liked the pixel liveries. Someone gotta do a what if of the red white and black T-38 livery with 121 Sq markings on Hurjet. Now that, would be a sight to see.

So many tests. KTM-2 was delivered to 401st for flight tests more than 2 years ago.

Airbrake is very reminiscent to that of the F-16.

That doesn't translate, as the ugly camos are specifically designed to mislead people regarding how the car will actually look. Hürjet having its first flight with its factory paint is normal, nothing to get worked up about.

Agreed, no need for heavy mbts in Africa. Only Sub Saharan country I can see having a need for platform like Akrep 2 would be Nigerians and some minors to replace their ERCs as they can't afford the Jaguar and possibly don't want to do business with France. Kenya is another. Those would be...

I'd think they used one of the F-16s currently at TAI for works as a chase plane. Great to see. Both lovelies made by TAI.

Great that it will arrive as the guest of honor rather than be a static display.

It is kinda up to the government and directly their responsibility to stop all that. Wagnerites even having the gall to ask Turkey for arms is horrible. This is just as bad as US directly arming PKK and didn't even make the news in Turkey.

One another thing to consider for Baykar is after 10+ years, they still act like a startup. Sooner or later that will need to change as they grow larger.

Possible. This thing crab walks. Doubt it's cheap and can be offered to other African countries. It's a dedicated scout platform, needs a big army to work with. As far as I know, no interest has been shown by Turkey so far.

Wrong country if you're looking for sound foreign policy decisions.. We can never seem to find the balancing point.

Serial production for who?

As I understand it, STC is basically a UAE puppet controlling Aden and Southern part of Yemen. Must be part of the sale with TB2s.

That didn't stop us from selling TB2s to UAE tho.

I'll be starting a horon line the day T929N deploys aboard Anadolu and you're all invited. And I also decided on only calling TAI's helicopters by their product numbers from now on and want it to catch on.

Agreed. What I'm really interested in is how much that thing will cost. From open sources, we know that an MX-15 cost nearly as much as a single TB2 and losing a TB2 was acceptable but losing the EO was the real loss for that write off. One other thing to consider and going on a tangent here...
