You still need firepower to help move the wedge forward, and lots of it. And nothing has been able to replace a dart flying at Mach 5 or a 120mm HE round being fired at Mach 4. And best way to carry the gun that can fire these at those speeds is a tracked vehicle, and you want it armored so that...

Armor have been attacked by weapons it can't resist since the first Mark I tanks rolled over at Somme in 1916. Never ending battle between armor and anti armor is still inconclusive. In 2024, you still need tanks to advance past enemy positions.

It's coming. I wonder what Sisi thinks about it.

Roketsan working on the laser guided L-OMTAS. Maybe they will finally replace all cold war era atgms. With some work, they could even update the TOW launchers to fire OMTAS tbh. https://www.savunmasanayist.com/roketsandan-dusuk-maliyetli-yeni-tank-avcisi-lomtas/

Well within Akıncı's capabilities tho. From 2021: "The AKINCI Attack Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) flew for 13 hours and 24 minutes with a payload of 1,360 kilograms. It was also noted that the AKINCI TİHA carried a penetrating bomb (NEB) developed locally by TÜBİTAK SAGE under the fuselage...

Moved most of the new info and discussion on the new carrier program to a new thread. From now on, this is the new general thread for carrier, LHD(including Anadolu), LPD, LST, LCT and every other amphibious ship vessel news, programs and discussion for Turkish Navy. Thank you.

F-4 near Zap. Where Akıncı?

And you always miss Occam's razor. Is there anything you can say that this crash wasn't a crash but an assassination? 2 experienced pilots from an American charter airline with thousands of hours of flight time between them, a fully loaded helicopter, at night time with bad visibility. Please do...

Exactly. Doesn't mean shit. Germany is building 10500 ton frigates.

Project started its life as a frigate. Tonnage increase doesn't mean much in itself. At the end of the day, Navy will just slap the F prefix in front of it like all others.

It was never called a destroyer. TF, Turkish Frigate. So many British lines from QE. Don't know how much sense that makes when Brits are thinking about modifying QE heavily. https://ukdefencejournal.org.uk/project-ark-royal-plans-for-angled-decks-and-drones/ And I'll point the elephant. Kaan...

Erdogan's top aide colonel Ali Yazıcı is currently in prison for being a FETO member.

Nothing except the CGI video from last month which was rare for TAI, they don't usually make videos like that.

I will kindly ask you to please refrain from low effort posting. 6 billionaires didn't die, 2 businessmen, wife and child of Wigwe and two pilots of the aircraft died. Event was pretty well reported on and I also followed the news. Crash is of course under investigation by NTSB and Airbus as...

I do. If you think such a huge thing can be kept secret in Turkey of all places where we have gulenists, other cults and dumbass 3rd degree officials that spout any info they have on live tv, be my guest. Back to exports pls.

Former Hürkuş test pilot and TAI test flight chief Hüseyin Fazla says TAI spent 600 million dollars from its own resources on T929 Atak II. No other sources for the figure aside from his own words, but this is a very rare figure we got on development costs of a national project. "According to...

"The company that established the 155 mm artillery ammunition production line in the USA and the companies that will establish the light ammunition factory I wrote about do not want their names to be made public yet. Let me add one more thing: Soon you will hear news about a Turkish company...

In my ideal scenario, we get kits and license, TAI builds the aircraft and HvKK applies the kits if possible, and TAI takes some of the backlog from LM, building jets for other customers, bringing in sweet cash to fund other projects. But as I said, nothing is certain as of yet. Maybe first TAI...

It isn't. Nothing is certain until deal is signed. We don't even know if TAI can accommodate building the new aircraft with a whole new production line, or if LM would be interested in license production, or if US is even interested in such a thing. I think modernization kits can be applied by...

Interesting wording from Güler. "This initiative, led by Germany, is an important step towards the fulfillment of NATO's requirements while ensuring interoperability and integration of allies. Turkey is ready to contribute to this initiative with a wide range of national capabilities. I would...
