Lol, what a clown. The EU is a joke man.

We should buy retired British Hercules while this modernization continues.

Some countries can get different deals. For example, Malaysia can get hardware part of the onboard electronics, computers, or workshare from the AESA radar. This depends and negotiating parties what their capabilities are how much we are willing to give how much they can absorb with their...

Chakib is right we should get countries like Algeria on board but I don't think tech transfer is magic. Algeria and similar countries need years and investments in technology institutions, universities, competent workforce, and production capability to absorb the technology. You can't just start...

It is being produced/assembled right now. The first ignition will be done next year. If everything goes as expected we might see one of them on an unmanned system as early as 2025. TFX engine will be a scaled-up and modified version of TF-6000. Modifications will include RCS-optimized nozzles...

Alp Havacıık produces the gearbox of TS-1400. TS-1400 project is perfectly on track.

I don't think TEI should waste time with those accessories. TEI should outsource those accessories from companies like Alp Havacılık etc.

Extremely ambitious. It is probably "A" version without air-to-air capability. It is really difficult if not impossible to integrate AESA+AA missiles and gain the capability for air-to-air engagement in a year. Akıncı will carry the same AESA radar and has similar avionics as Kızılelma so any...

Atak-2 will use the Ukrainian engine TEI is also proposing a new turboshaft derived from the TF-6000 core as an alternative.

T2 should get modifications T3 should be a completely new design.

I think we should bombard the shit out of their infrastructure and use low-cost loitering drones to attack their personnel and attrition the shit out of them before committing to an op. Death by a thousand cuts.

Bulgarian Turks are doing fine since Bulgaria get rid of communism and entered the EU. Turks have a political party and they are getting more and more votes. As stated above selling weapons is the logical and best way to increase our influence in Bulgaria via soft power.

Yeah but still participated the meetings in the past.

It seems like the 76mm gun is installed and MIDLAS vertical launcher space is being prepared behind the 76mm gun.

There is good news about the BATU powerpack. The engine satisfied all of the requirements on the bench runs. Bench tests of the transmission progressed a lot and coupled tests are expected to start. This is the last step before integrating the powerpack prototype into the tank. It seems that the...

Bulgaria has a sizeable Turkish population we should do everything to sell them weapons.

That is wrong. The fire control system of Altay became outdated over years this is the next-gen version. 7 years passed after the qualification of the Altays first fire control system and technology moved on since 2016. Leo2A4, M-60TM, and some M60A3 will get the same next-gen FCS with slight...

Macron is getting bitchslapped left and right. Neither Morocco nor Algeria participated in the meeting of Francophone countries. Now Azerbaijan put France in its place. Macron becomes the laughingstock of Europe.

Altay T3 should be designed from the scratch as a 3-man tank with a hybrid powerpack. There should be a hard weight limit of 50 tonnes. It should have an unmanned turret and autoloader.

SSIK will be held before the end of the year if no unexpected development happens. The announcement of the winner of the 3x I class tender and the decisions about the first welding of Milden, and TF-2000 are expected.
