How are we sure the STA deliveries are complete? This tweet just copy pastes MSB’s weekly briefing. I do agree that deliveries are going perfectly and most of the 300+ vehicles are delivered, but I don’t think the program is yet complete.

Every component of the İhtar system can be carried on S70.

I’m pretty sure now that we are also selling Tolun to Saudi and even Egypt.

Don’t even need kinetic countermeasures. FOBs are numbered, say 100 at most. We already have dazzler and radar combinations that would make quick work of any camera in the sky. They’re just not deployed in sufficient numbers. Today it was a camera, tomorrow it will be a mortar round.

Missed the livestream but watched Scott’s breakdown now. That was as exciting as an actual movie. What an awesome achievement. Give a house to the person who designed the hinges on those flaps.

Maybe I misremember but isn’t this the third iteration of these? Real time testing, love it.

SF-260 is a basic trainer, while Hürkuş can be considered an advanced trainer and can also be employed on Lead in Fighter Training(LIFT). Hürkuş is closer to an F-16 than SF-260.

Erdogan is one of the names that make up “Turkey”. And no, he didn’t, never in that tone.

I did write stuff that would be read that way in the past. But no, Turkey have never said such thing, neither did Saudi. No, it’s Saudi Arabia. None of those happened because we tried to covertly get a nuclear device or related material. Lots of words, half of which directly wrong. This is...

I don’t know what we wanted from the Russians but i do know on the deal we signed, Russia brings all the fuel and then returns every used material back, as operating the complex fully falls onto Rosatom. We don’t own anything re Akkuyu but the land it’s built on.

Poster of the photo in question literally says this tho: “ Before you ask, no, the USMC hasn't started using these. The photo was taken at a shooting competition hosted by the Czech Army.” Gun itself doesn’t say much. Our own SAT uses the Scorpion Evo as well. If we could listen to what they...

more than likely a shakedown flight after depot level maintenance on the airframe.

SF-260 crash in Kayseri. Presumably both pilots are dead, from how the aircraft looks. Edit. 2 pilots confirmed dead.

I don’t think this is anything more than a frame to test the “hybrid power pack”.

How is it too long? 5 years figure directly correlates with Erdogan’s own words re TF-6000 last year.

Claim of a Korkut SPAAG export was made today. Couldn’t see it on KAP, no details on the deal, including cost and the recipient. Interesting.

“ The tender for the external communication system of MİLGEM (National Ship), an I-Class Frigate exported to the Middle East, was won by ASELSAN. Thus, ÇBSMT marine radios, designed and produced nationally by ASELSAN, will be exported abroad for the first time. Factory acceptance testing...

Give it 3 more Efes exercises and it should be ready.

So that’s what happened to it. Mk46 is a venerable beast and is probably enough for our all needs. But in a world where Dzkk will operate in all seas and near oceans, and with the hopefully soon to be enlarged “fleet air arm” in more ASW helicopters, one thinks cutting the dependence on US in...

All Block 50+(29, 1 crashed) and 50 Block 40Ms will be upgraded to Viper for a total of 79. Remaining Block 40Ms(about 65) and all Block 50Ms(about 80) will be upgraded to Özgür II. I’m not sure if Block 30s will be upgraded to Özgür II as well. When both programs are completed, we should have...
