It's a choice, should be one or the other. Drones could be carried by one of the soldiers inside, larger ones can be launched from ships if it's a long range operation, from our side of the border if it's a shorter range one, supported by air force assets.

FNSS will show 2 new RCWS on ZAHA/MAV. ÇAKA 30/AT-O with 30mm gun and 2 OMTAS, ÇAKA AT-K with 50 cal and 2 Karaok This was a much needed upgrade to ZAHA and hopefully it's shown on other vehicles as well.

Again, SOM. Should be interesting to see what they've come up with. - ROKETSAN General Manager Murat Ikinci: IDEF 2025 Defense Industry Fair We will show ballistic, cruise, air defense and air-to-air missiles.

"On defense, the two sides vowed to "pursue joint export campaigns" to secure international orders for equipment they co-produce, including the Typhoon Eurofighter jet and the Boxer armored vehicle." https://www.dw.com/en/germany-and-uk-sign-historic-post-brexit-friendship-treaty/a-73313982...

"The total value for achieving operational capability is approximately 265 million Euros, excluding VAT, less the NSM ship-to-ship missile launch system. The estimated acquisition value of the ship from Turkey, in the current configuration, is approximately 223 million Euros, excluding VAT. The...

SOM used to be from SAGE as well. It changed a bit now after 2022 but SAGE is still mainly an R&D facility, not a manufacturing one. BVR long range missile with folding fins? Has to be for Kaan.

Have you met Güler? He's more politician than soldier, very easy to lie, bend the truth, mince words.

Romanian Heavy IFV tender with Tulpar as a participant. "Local manufacture starting from 27th vehicle Tech transfers like ballistic protection (incl add-on armor) Deciders: price, mobility stats, armor, ammo capacity Space - 8 seats It will come down to the most cost/performance. 35% cost 65%...

Should really congratulate the new government in making Hijris gangs the first semi official Israeli proxy in the country. They did it.

People easily forget of course that it wasn't UAE and Egypt that changed its policies, it was Turkey. Rapprochement started with Erdogan government changing its regional politics, not the other way around. Neither Egypt nor UAE changed their sides or leanings re Turkey; they stay as they are...

We don't know what A001 and A002 are. A013 was a Hürkuş 2 prototype. We also don't know how the numbering works.

Lovely shots of the two prototypes.

For starters, because there are no Israeli proxy groups in Syria.

How are we going to increase it to 3.5%? Two prongs here. One is meeting the goal, other is actually increasing capabilities. You can add in police budget and call it a "security" budget, but noone's buying that. The rate we are increasing capabilities is simply not enough. We have credit...

Trillion dollar economy, but 3 usually biggest areas of spending get less than 8% of GDP. Our endemic issues continue with no end in sight. How do we even plan to increase military spending to 5%? Not like we can cut from education and health spending like others plan to.

There are no guarantees. Engine supply is totally political and can be cut off at any point in time. Solidifying relations with US and not putting all eggs in basket is a must, I've been supporting the same for the last 5 years. We need F-16s to move forward to restart relations, F-35s to...

They are being liberal with the truth as their audience where they make these claims is not us, air force or the outsiders but the public. That's the reason for conflicting claims. I don't expect more than 20 B10s to be produced.

During the fighting, this is not a new development as I read the piece.

I think that's for FRP. We shouldn't expect more than 20 for B10. We won't see more than a squadron before 2032-33. Production until new engine arrives will be a very slow LRIP production to get the first units out, further develop, keep the lights on.

Özbek claims first 2 Hürkuş were delivered to Çiğli AFB, adding that because of the runway maintenance in Mürted, further tests(acceptance tests?) will be done in Çiğli. https://tolgaozbek.com/savunma/hava-kuvvetleri/hurkus-ii-icin-teslimat-basladi/
