Nice bit of detail.

"Funds of 2.4 billion of €, for the Air Force's new UCAVs program, with €242 million already this year. All the pieces are falling into place, with LBA System ready. Given the amount financed, i think it's the largest allocation founds in European Union on this regard."

It's like WW2 up in this!

People that buy military hardware don't use twitter much. Anyone that looks at it sees what this thing is and isn't.

Finally the high res photos from yesterday's test footage.

Akıncı number 117.

Qatar’s oldest aircraft is less than 10 years old and have all MK0 AESA radars. They are not old or outdated, by most metrics they are the most competent EFs flying today.

Spain looking at Roketsan ATGMs to replace their Spike order. https://www.infodefensa.com/texto-diario/mostrar/5455701/roketsan-opcion-turca-sustituir-misil-contracarro-spike-desconexion-israel

We don't have any sources to back any of these. Turkish Akıncı numbers were very low for years, maybe they are getting more now, but no numbers.

Akıncı number 112. Last official number we had was around 60 I believe in 2024. Italian Air Force and Army chiefs and navy vice chief visited Baykar today, along with a delegation from Leonardo and deputy PM. LBA is going to hit big. TB3, Akıncı and Kızılelma all showcased their...

Not necessarily a good thing, wish we had an idea on range.

Let's get an actual video on it. Wonder what the range was.

MAM-L on TB3 and a MAM-T on the Aksungur.

Seen more easily here. Front compartment and the main part of the hull are not flush.

An isolated rack is a whole module. Tank's internal design must be fitted to it. It's not an add-on or something that can be modernized into an existing design easily. Germans only did it with the Leo2 RC 3. Altay T1 doesn't have it, T2 will. It doesn't have it in T1 because our army saw Leo2...

Yes. This is how it looks on M1, though M1 carries most of its load on the turret: But still mostly up to date.

Ammo racks on the turret being isolated is a 60 year old design, that's not the point of the discussion. Photo was shared today by Güngör's twitter account during his visit to the factory. All of it. There's nothing to argue here. We knew for 6 years that T1 would come with open hull stowage...

917 if correct is a pretty special number. Would make it the most produced UCAV in history by far.

It's the same plan since 2018. Is it shit, very much so. Does it really matter when none of our tanks have protected hull racks? Not really.

Isolated hull racks are part of T2, been the same for nearly a decade now. Per last reports, first 85 tanks will be T1s.
