I'll be starting a horon line the day T929N deploys aboard Anadolu and you're all invited. And I also decided on only calling TAI's helicopters by their product numbers from now on and want it to catch on.

Agreed. What I'm really interested in is how much that thing will cost. From open sources, we know that an MX-15 cost nearly as much as a single TB2 and losing a TB2 was acceptable but losing the EO was the real loss for that write off. One other thing to consider and going on a tangent here...

That was kinda what i'm getting at tbh. We'll need hundreds of that thing, hope Aselsan can deliver.

Yes, but you are still left with the rails when you release the munitions and you can't realistically jettison the EO pod. It's not a deep strike platform when it's in the beast mode as they call it but a bomb truck. I LOVE bomb trucks, but do we need a bomb truck flying wing? Maybe we'll learn...

I like flying wings as much as the next guy, and of course as it's a scale model for national tv, displaying the payload outside makes sense for the laymen, but, what's the point of a flying wing that can carry 1500ks internally, if it will carry a AselPod(?) on the outside with two SOMs on the...

Any transfer would of course happen with Bangladesh's agreement.

One thing to note, looks like they installed the new engines to the first T625 prototype.

I wonder if T625 needed external modifications to install TS1400. Can we do a before after with T800 and TS1400?

It would, but elections.

One other funny anecdote is ambitious Greek kids defending Haftar and saying Turks support the other side and that's why elections can't be held in Libya. As I mentioned earlier re Libya and opposition parties however, this is not a clear cut case. Our goals are not about what Libyans to do...

They suggest that YPG areas being used for Ukrainian attacks on Russian positions would lead to a clash between Russians and YPG and possibly SAA. Russians hitting YPG while we just sat back and watch would certainly be worthwhile.

Agreed on the first two paragraphs. As per Zulu Cobra, we know from AH-1Ws that no blinding flashes occur when gun is used and Zulus have a fairly similar arrangement. I for one never came across Zulu gun footage over the internet tho. As for gun's FOV being blocked on Zulus, it's not an issue...

Turkey just chiming in, giving a heads up after saying "we know you're doing this" and asking them to do it from YPG areas instead of FSA areas is just funny to me :)

There was no issue with FLIR on the T129's gunner position, as the gunner already has full FOV from the AselFlir 300 with his TopOwl/Avcı. What did have as an issue was the weight of the Aselflir. Milgem's supposed ballast issues were teething problems of a new platform and were resolved years...

I actually thought of this, imagine a built-in terrain following radar. It would be freaky but would explain the nose. We'll learn more next month.

It was quite a spectacle and actually a mission completed as the goal was just for it to leave the pad.

A split result, one side holding the parliament while the other gets presidency, is really the worst possible outcome. We need a clear winner.

And they won't name it after Sabiha Gökçen, tho it would be interesting. I feel like it will be nationalistic in tone but very vanilla. I don't expect unknown old Turkish names and it will definitely have a bird of prey in its name.

Absolutely right. They gotta stop these “leaks”.
