Azerbaijan is on its way to breaking free from Russian chains and we are literally overseeing that process. Turkish general is an advisor to the chief of staff of Azerbaijani armed forces. A lot of Russian agents and Russophiles are cleared from the state apparatus of Azerbaijan. Azerbaijan will...

FLIR business is big. Aselsan sold 100 CATS this year. Even at half the price, this is still 50 million $. Next year Aselsan will probably produce 200+ cameras. This is big.

Video shows Russian Pantsir engaging GMLRS rockets. Pantsir fires some missiles and changes location. This is effective against GPS/INS guided artillery rockets and this is where TRLG-230 comes in with the capability to hit moving targets.

Kızılelma won't be ready for air-to-air duties before 2025. I expect Kızılelma B to be ready with its radar and weapons fully integrated in 2025.

The first welding decision for Milden and TF-2000 will be taken in the first half of 2023 probably in the next SSIK.

4.2 billion is important because it means our defense industry is self-sufficient and doesn't need state subsidies to survive. From this point on there will be a snowball effect. Our companies won't need state funds to develop products. Baykar, TAI, Aselsan, and several other companies are...

Total yearly defense exports reached 4.2 billion $. I expect double the amount next year.

According to savunmasanayist names of the 3 i class frigates are F516 TCG İZMİR F517 TCG İZMİT F518 TCG İÇEL

There is no Kızılelma 2. Kızılelma A and B are in the pipeline. C is still in the design.

Akıncı requirement is low. A few dozen Akıncıs will be delivered. Don't expect to see a hundred Akıncı in the TAF inventory. There are 2 Baykar UAVs flying on Thrace. https://fr24.com/BYKR07/2e990c83 https://fr24.com/KAYI02/2e992142

As far as I know, 12 Akıncı delivered so far.

Anyway, Turkish boron carbide tiles are not the basic tiles, you can't buy similar tiles from Alibaba. Only a handful of countries can produce such armor tiles but the "only 3 countries" part of the news probably is an exaggeration or misleading.

Don't expect big numbers. The first order will come in small numbers like the Akıncı. The First 3 Kızılelma-As might be delivered by the end of 2023 or sometime in 2024. I expect a big order of Kızılelma-B in 2025. BTW Baykar is now a big company and Baykar will be a giant company in 2023. I...
