I don't like this kind of reporting. While we would expect the next two corvettes being Adas due to commonality, due to budgeting, financing and other reasons they very well maybe from other builders as well. There's nothing certain if the two possible future ships will be Turkish built or...

It's the same with any country with great past and successes. What's true on the ground however Turkish Spanish defence cooperation over the last decade just kept growing and getting more lucrative for both sides under multiple Spanish governments whether it's left or right. Political will seems...

Yup. I think people should understand this as it is. This is not a sale of "Hürjet" to Spain. This is Hürjet going international and becoming a European trainer. Spaniards are very well connected to rest of the continent re aerospace and will push it heavily. At this time, there are no advanced...

Projected Spanish requirement is about 55 trainer aircraft to replace their trainers, aggressor aircraft and the acroteam aircraft like we plan to do. These are lovely, welcome news. As far as I understand it, it's not a sale and it's not close to a sale yet, but a MOU to develop the aircraft...

I think that's just ceremonial to show that it will happen and the political and bureaucratic backing is there. Preliminary design has just ended, there's nothing to build yet. I'm not sure if the above piece is correct about the construction schedule, but MUGEM won't start actual construction...

We finally have a brochure for Murad 100-A. Machine translated via Google.

Meaning not much? 1bn is basically peanuts. If anything this shows they still don't see it.

"Possible Start Date for the Construction of MUGEM is 2029" "The National Aircraft Carrier Project (MUGEM) started this year with the Preliminary and Contract Design Directive given by the Turkish Naval Forces Command to the Design Project Office Directorate within the Naval Technical Command...

I don't think this ramp is fit for amphibious ops, too high, unsure though. Very interesting solution however, I agree.

Water tank on the FMTV and a fuel tanker. They are setting up a new small base wherever that convoy is headed.

Derya is a beast, one of the largest in the NATO. Portuguese Navy is much smaller and don't have flattops to support. STM's similar PNS Moawin is 17k, while Yzb Güngör Durmuş Class ships come at 9k. Checking the specsheets, Durmuş Class carries a similar load of diesel and JP-5 to the Portuguese...

And it's confirmed. 2 AORs will be built for Portuguese Navy. First high tonnage naval vessel export to a EU and NATO country. Both ships will be built by a private shipyard in Turkey, under STM. Ships will have 137 meter length at 11000 tonnes, capable for sailing for up to 90 days without...

Spanish have been talking about industrial cooperation for a while. If a sale happens, this can be as low as some Spanish subsystems in the Spanish version(other than what they already have) to as high as a joint production of the aircraft under a system where TAI still holds the IP. Hürjet's...

"Gökhan Uçar, Vice President of SSB: We are currently discussing a very big project with Spain. They want to participate in a very big project of ours. Serbia also wants to participate in a very big project of ours. The British want to work with us a lot." These don't mean anything by...

Doubt it for now.

Per MoD Güler's latest words last week, 2 RAF Typhoons will visit Turkey on Dec 18, after joining a joint exercise in Qatar and land directly at Mürted/Akıncı. https://tolgaozbek.com/savunma/iki-eurofighter-18-aralikta-ankaraya-geliyor/ Reading into this a bit more, I'm puzzled and this visit...

A deal was also signed by Anadolu with an "unnamed African country" to supply to 2 LCTs in 2 years in 2023. https://www.defenceturk.net/anadolu-tersanesi-afrika-ulkesiyle-ihracat-anlasmasi-imzaladi

Meanwhile, second Istif class frigate TCG İzmir's construction continues. And I believe one of the new LCT's can be seen on the right. Unsure if it's for export or DzKK use.

I hadn't noticed that, see Istanbul's light ASM load. Presumably only 8 in a 4x2 configuration instead of 4x4. And judging by the safety circle/rectangle around the gun on Hisar, are we sure if the gun make a full 360 degree traverse when on standby position and not hit the emplacement behind...

Göker uses a single MKE GDF-003(single version of Korkut basically), so fire rate should be similar to that, 550-600 RPM. Unsure if Korhan comes with MKE's 35mm revolver gun or not so can't comment. Takes less space, but I fear even with ATOM its fire rate is too slow for quick bursts. Makes...
