About 2 years ago, Otokar signed a cooperation agreement with Milrem Robotics for the development of unmanned and remotely controlled land systems. The system launched today appears to be a scaled MBT design with similar approaches to Milrem's Type-X concept. On the other hand, on the same day...

40 F-16 Block 70s with CFTs are targeted for acquisition, which will most likely enable the F 4E 2020Ts to be taken out of active service. In addition, 79 B-70 kits are targeted for procurement from the US. F-16s in the inventory -for reminding-: - 29 F-16 Block 50+ with CFTs - 71 F-16 Block...

After news, Aselsan shares went through the roof on the stock exchange today. Just when we were talking about 20 billion dollars, it felt like medicine. A total contract size of over 2 billion dollars indicates a large-scale F-16 modernization? If so, I think Murad-AESA for F-16s is now ready...

Some Akp MPs and even some former ministers (Varank for example) have announced that they will vote no for Sweden. At first, I likened it to the failed March 1 decree process, but it is more like a collusion. The impression is that the presidency is not putting up much resistance to the US...

Yes, but at what pace, at what rate? Please explain this $20 billion to me in such a way that I can be more hopeful about the future of a sophisticated modernization program arising from the OZGUR project. I don't know how we will squeeze ÖZGÜR into the same period when we are signing the...

Worse, if this $20 billion is only for the combatant fleets, there are other needs that could amount to about as much as this. Especially in logistics and some specific types, aircrafts, ground platforms etc. Unfortunately, our air force has been slow in acquiring new aircraft platforms for a...

I am just trying to put the developments in a logical framework. I don't claim to be right, and I could probably be wrong about a lot of things. Bahçeli's statement on the issue and his clear statement on the unacceptability of the situation is an important detail. He even went further and said...

The US had set the 2023 NATO leaders' summit as a deadline 3-4 months ago. So today. The US failed to achieve this, but TR announced that it would submit the decision to the parliament, that is, at the presidential level, it announced that it approved Sweden's membership under the conditions...

Why are you so surprised? When the cabinet was formed, it was already clear that the NATO process would somehow move forward. Time will tell what we got and what we didn't. The above statement is not mine, and as I wrote in the other thread, I think that most of these promised elements will not...

Ocean-going heavy frigates and destroyers, which realize area dominance, are probably the largest sources of electronic noise on the ocean. It is this warfare capability that makes these ships intimidating war machines and requires to stay out of scanning and engagement range from them. So there...

Just 3 days ago RTE stated that Ukraine deserves NATO membership and clearly supports them. There are less than a handful of NATO member states that can say this openly. So, TR's legitimate demands have nothing to do with undermining NATO interests, as is propagated against them. On the...

The refugee and Syria problem, visa-free travel, I don't have much hope on these issues. But fast steps can be taken on updating the customs union and fighter jet procurement. Because the preparations on these issues are almost complete.

Re-agreements were reached on the approval of F-16 B70s, lifting existing sanctions by US, the Customs Union update and visa-free travel to the EU. And on the EF T4s, which stand as an alternative to the B70, I think there were assurances about potential problems that could create procurement...

Turkish Navy: Hey komşi, no need to worry, it is just a patrol ship. :devilish:

There are currently 11 exploration wells in Kato, which will soon reach 100. The Bestler Dereler region, which was once frequently heard in news about the fight against terrorism, will now be known for oil.

Age distribution for the Manhattan Project: As far as I know, average age of the KAAN project workforce is also in the 28-32 range. Naturally, we focus on the output of the project as a product. But the real valuable breakthrough is not the aircraft itself.

A great in-depth analysis of the Zephyr (HAPS UAV) system from the Royal Aeronautical Society, you should definitely take the time to watch it. Why did I post this in our UAV thread? Because we need to create higher awareness in the Turkish aviation community about pseudo-satellite systems...

How much more effective 4 CIWSs can be than two CIWSs is an open question. I think a close air defense that would provide engagement in both directions in all types of maneuvers of the ship would be very good. But four, I don't know, I don't think there is an example of this in modern naval...

This silence could be FSB-related.

It's not unlikely. At least the basic logic may be correct. Because the developments indicate that the Russian deep state has split down the middle.
