And yet, its advantages still outweighed its disadvantages by a mile and every user keep giving more orders even if they have their own projects seperate from US as well. Can't overwrite history. Turkey didn't decide to not buy F-35. Turkey bought S-400 and thought US wouldn't dare to follow...

There was a talk of employing hovercrafts for the marines about 10 years ago, even LCAC for Anadolu which I believe can carry a single one instead of 4 LCMs. Didn't hear anything for ages. If there will be 2 LHDs and maybe even 6 LSTs, marine battalion will indeed need to be expanded, to a full...

Hear me out...

Engine is possible, doubt we can match PT6's 500 million flight hours tho :D 64.000 engines since 1963. "With more than 64,000 PT6 engines produced since its introduction in 1963, it powers over 155 different aviation applications. The PT6 is unmatched in engine performance, reliability and...

She will probably the last UN special envoy to Cyprus judging by the MFA communique.

We did sell/transfer Hürkuş to two very unfriendly to west countries, Chad and Niger. PT6 is not a strategic asset and Hürkuş is unimportant enough to fly under the radar. Converting TS1400 to just replace PT6 for Hürkuş doesn't make any fiscal sense. Couple it with drones and future twin engine...

TS1400 may be converted to turboprop in the future and used but PT6 is basically an industry standard with over 50000 built with a great safety record. We do need a turboprop at that range, mainly for drones, but it is a tough sell for trainer customers. Could be interesting for the combat variant.

I feel the need the add as many will not read the fine print, this is not new per Sünnetçi and is from 2021. It is not yet clear if plans changed and if the NGAC is Trakya or a third ship.

Nigeria's internal security project that has been going on for a while which saw Turkish drones from Asisguard be exported, will also include 13 Nurol NMS in a 35 million deal between Asisguard and Nigeria. "Drones from Turkish defense firms Havelsan and STM will also be sold to Nigeria, and...

I don't think we saw any image, CAD drawing or 3d etc for Hürkuş 2. Everything out there is from the original. Probably it won't be that much different from the outside though.

Kale's babies for munitions.

Changes continue. After Gürcan Okumuş, now head of BMC Murat Yalçıntaş resigns. https://www.turdef.com/article/bmc-ceo-yalcintas-resignes

Look at the coincidence, just 36 hours after SSİK and Istif class being increased to 8, Brits now think about scrapping two Type 23s. I had projected that if a deal was to happen, Argyll would be one of the ships we would be interested in acquiring.

Isparta and Iğdır(I instead of İ but still) probably would be chosen. Unless they plan to retire İskenderun it's taken. Same with İnebolu. Wonder what the other 2 would be called if they stick with I naming scheme.

As expected.

"Our exports may not have increased much on an annual and monthly basis, but our exports to some countries are experiencing large increases. For example ISRAEL... What did Trade Minister Ömer Bolat say? "Since October 7, our bilateral trade with Israel has decreased by more than 50 percent...

I don't see Buraks enter 2030 tbh. Those ships are ancient and bring nothing to the table in this day and are now also called patrol boats. Adas with their turbines are good little ships and maybe they can be upgraded a la Baburs with smaller, cold launch VLS.

Want to go off what i wrote back in april. In short to medium(10-15+/- years) term, from what we started with, which was 8 Gabyas, 4 Yavuz, 4 Barbaros=16 we are to be left with 4 Gabyas, 4 Barbaros+8 Istif Class ships. 8 Burak Class avisos are goners and hopefully will be replaced with Hisars...

It won't be the last. When we squeeze HTS in Idlib, bombs will go off in 81 cities.

Live young, die young? These are the guys that did the 2020 IED attack against a TSK convoy in Idlib on M4, no?
