Looks like Nigeria's second batch of 6 T129s are on track. That'd be boon for the production line.

To clarify, it looks like the one behind the P0 is the static test article, or the iron bird. One on the left is the P1. P2 is not out yet.

MOTHER OF GOD, WE EAT GOOD TODAY.

NEW: Turkish Aerospace General Manager Mehmet Demiroglu told Breaking Defense that the decision-making process for Saudi Arabia’s participation in the KAAN fighter program is in its final stages. The company aims to reach a significant milestone this year, potentially starting with a sale of...

Every large military have their own problems. Egyptians have a huge army, big air force(more AESA equipped fighters than us for example!) and a respectable navy; with issues of maintenance, like all others. They squashed ISIS in the desert, made some good bargains against us in Libya and are...

Akbaba claims TSK already ordered 5+ Gürz.

I was wondering about that heavy duty stand. Very nice show.

Gürz with new model. Göksur VLS, Sungur, Kangal jammer, more radars and EW.
