    Unlike many of our members here, I’m not an expert but as an observer of the Turkish defense industry, on and off, for the last four decades and I’ve seen that you need an authority, an agency to create a military roadmap of Bangladesh in close ties with the military! A scheme devised by it to...

    Very well put! Political stunts will happen as long as there is a national achievement. Such PR tricks don’t bother me much. As I’ve said earlier, you gotta start somewhere. The main thing to is not to loose will of keeping on. When such a venture is realized you don’t only gain technological...

    The twit doesn’t say it was finalized either. So, you think maybe they’re working on a different supply model of the system rather than the original purchase deal of 2021?

    Yeah, the major one, like I said. All I hope is that tracked AFV to carry a large caliber cannon. I am not really much concerned about they put manned or unmanned turrets as much as the gun now.

    Alright guys. I’m convinced and hope for better now. this will only be a dirt cheap stop gap solution with enhanced optical and electro optical capabilities - only to be replaced within a decade, though 😉

    According to the same source the negotiations will be held as a direct G2G (government to government) basis. Given their very complicated financial model structures, I wish a smooth ride all the way.

    I remember back then it was noted for its cost effectiveness. And indeed it’s dime a dozen. And I’m all for it. But these are the only tracked ACV units in our inventory and no matter how dirt cheap it might be, these will be the ones to be taken to the hot conflict zone and they still lack a...

    I know it was before the war in Ukraine but even back then 25mm was passé. How can any thinking mind of the Turkish Armed Forces see this as a viable tactical solution?

    I personally don’t approve such shows of grudge. Not when a nation’s flag or any other sacred symbols involved, like a holly book or flags and so on. It’s beneath us. It’s beneath Turkic nations. Early this year some provocateurs burned Quran in front of Turkish Embassy in Stockholm, Sweden...

    Why do they investigate it as a terror crime? Isn’t technologiCal espionage a crime in Turkey? PS: i didn’t raise this as rhetorical question to mind storm, btw. I really don’t know how it goes and just curious.

    Nooo! We Turks will never convert to cricket. Never will embrace cricket. Our “species” will never ‘evolve’ to cherish it. NEVEERR! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Seriously though, if I could find just a bit extra time, giving it a try is on my bucket list 😇

    Well before Altay it was “Milliler Panzerlere karşı” and always how giant of a team they are and how we stand up against them and fight against all odds. I don’t know how does one not relate such comparisons of David and Goliath narrative to some form of low self esteem. On the other hand, it...

    Again, it was a while ago and it was one of the items that were on the table. The exact numbers may have missed me. This was a meeting/series of meetings between two governments headed by their respective defense ministers and honestly don’t remember who offered what to whom.

    A while back, Typhoons were on the table by the British and they were simply eager to dump their T1 aircraft on us (about forty, iirc) without any upgrade or even selling them with upgrade kits, probably because the fear of a German veto. So, now are we gonna buy those forty T1? If we buy...
