    Could the fact that the negotiations are based on the FGR4 indicate that we want to buy some of these aircraft ready-made or from a series already in production for another country at Lancashire facility? We urgently need a platform to replace the F4E Terminators. In other words, rather than a...

    At the very beginning of the process, the late Özdemir Bayraktar offered to transfer all know-how and these studies to the army and to support it to the end.

    Independently of the MİLGEM program, an alternative warship program in the range of 4-5 thousand displacement could have been initiated by the private sector, but this possibility has apparently never been included in the equation, despite the fact that some private shipyards are carrying out...

    If I am not mistaken, there are at least 30 more tb-2 fuselages waiting to be integrated on the final assembly line. (second photo) I think 2023 will be a record year for Baykar, with over 300 deliveries. Well, at least until 2024. lol

    Egypt's Currency Crisis!

    Aside from the rightness of the post, I think it's also worth discussing how the ToT issue you mention here has become a silly propaganda tool in defense circles. It's a marketing method that is often confused with off-set agreements and usually doesn't create any serious capability gains other...

    Avionics Central Control Computer, Platform Interface Management or Operator Interface Management may not be as critical a condition for EF procurement as one might think.

    I believe that a UAV that takes off vertically but cruises like a fixed-wing aircraft can meet a very important need for naval platforms. Of course, this requires major changes in the system, especially in the propulsion system for in terms of Fly Bvlos's Jackal, because of being able to...

    Ultimately: The Merlins (AW101s) for the Navy, and almost a swiss army knife C-130Js for the Air Force will ease the intensity of our systems in these classes and provide significant relief. I think that's where the most progress has been made. But the extent to which the other speculated...

    It is no secret that Turkiye has been seeking additional OHP frigates from the US since the mid-2000s. (If my memory serves me correctly, for 2 ships) This process, like the Patriot issue, has been protracted and protracted, at times by the US side and at times by the Turkish side. In fact, if...

    Yes, negotiations are ongoing on this issue as well. As you know, last year, the British announced that Project Mosquito, which was part of the "Light Affordable New Fighter Aircraft" program, had been halted (in more technical terms, put under review).

    Limited two-seat Tranche 1 supply for OCU purposes. And most probably 2 squadrons of T3/T4 (maybe with +1/2 option). The EFs in the combatant squadrons will be able to use the full range of indigenous ordnance just like the F-4s. In other words, in a sense, the EF/Turkiye variant will replace...

    How can a former 8-year member of the NSC be misinformed on this issue? More specifically, who are these informers? Who prepares Babacan's speech and who briefs him? He says that all resources are being transferred to a single company, but his advisors are even incapable of reading the...
