Got it.

It could be that it was the photo of final system they recieved. (3 aircrafts) Not all the systems together.

There was similar confusion about the deal with Tunisia. It was widely reported by most news agencies that they bought 3 ANKA UCAVs for $80 millions. However, one important detail was left out. They also bought 3 ground control system. (Which quite weird because you don't buy ground control...

I have been wondering if it is 12 ANKA systems or 12 ANKA aircrafts only. For example, each MQ-1 Predator system (similar in class to ANKA) cost around 30 millions per system (four aircraft, sensors and the ground control station) @Gary...

Which extra missiles?

I swear you guys are planning to start WW3. (And ROK is conspiring with you)

And I have been mourning all alone. It is very kind of you to join me!😡

@Bürküt it was my bad. We should not compare US systems with Turkish ones in the first place. There is something fundementally different here. Recently, US sold AGM-154 glide bomb to Morocco for $6 millions per unit. Or for example, they wanted to sell 6 Apache to Philippines for estimated...

I thought it was very cost effective. $33 millions for 180 missiles means $183000 for each unit. (Factoring in 30 launcher's cost of course) Consodering the fact that Finland is buying 350 Stinger for $380 millions for no reason.🤣 Usually, a mampad cost twice as much as a short to medium range...

It is actually more worse in BD. Sometimes you don't even know if the contract were signed or not, until the delivery starts. Edit- let's see if anybody else can get to worse than that.😅

Yes, Tripple A is the solution. Countries like BD (or even Indoensia) are very unlikely to develop adequate directed energy weapons in next 20 years and mass produce them in numbers. Again, in the near future you don't need that many Tripple A all over the place as every tank and IFVs likely...

Good news.

It would be very interesting to know the Polish army's organizational framework to deploy these extraordinarily large numbers of MLRS. These systems are usually deployed at a division level. Each Battalion (24x launchers) is assigned to each division in US army doctrine. And Polish army has 4...

@Gary the importance of modern triple A SHORAD complementing MRSAM batteries should not be underestimated. Otherwise you will risk loosing multi-million dollars AD systems to $35000-40000 cheap kamikaze drones.

Are you implying Turkey gave Russia the 'magic silver bullet' and then they used it on Ukrianian CV-90?

Just from a technical point of view, it is very unlikely to work. Turkey, nor India will give up all the relevant tech they developed to the other party. And neither of these two countries would want to be the junior partner in the program.

Well, if it becomes too 'less', they may turn toward PRC. (Which likely to offer J-35) Remember, nothing is final yet.

Thanks for the detailed answer. Just another question, what's the significance of ARDA when MAR-D is already in service ( and both are X band AESA sensor.) Will ARDA have longer range?

No ECM/electronic attack system? Also, it seems ESM only has four panels/receivers. On a side note, can this mast house Chenk-S if required?

What? What are we taking about here?
