Baykar has a different view on what a prototype is. Mass production is misleading by standard wording I agree but I think they now consider the flying platform to be mature enough for LRIP. In this post truth world of fighter jets, even F-35 still has not reached FRP with almost a thousand...

That is a spectacular explosion. I think it's safe to say that the entire complex is out of commission with that much debris flying around.

So it's confirmed that it's a single unit. They have a small marine detachment, i believe for them.

HSL still looks to be the lead, which was TAIS' partner. https://government.economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/defence/navys-rs-20000-cr-fleet-support-ship-project-cleared-5-ships-to-be-built-by-hindustan-shipyard/102793273?redirect=1 Tho with this much delay, wouldn't be surprising if they...

Germans will, maybe.

Isn't that a Paramount Mbombe? Figures. Sitution with Indian MIC and its export market is certainly should be a topic of discussion and we can learn a lot, but not the thread for it.

Libya Update claims civilian traffic on the port was also stopped. Nevermind.

Welp, anything is possible when you want it a lot :D Sending (at least) 3 frigates, 1/5th of our fleet is a strong message. Tho makes me think, if they expect the threat level rising soon. Meko is armed with ESSMs, Gabyas with SM-1s. So interesting.

My brother in Allah, we can't even clear Tal Rıfat from terrorists. Our economy is not closed off and is fully dependent on imports and exports. Turkey literally going rogue with a nuclear program is one way to lose at least 50% of your economy in a year. We can't afford to go nuclear before a...

When is P2 on Hürjet?

I'm not saying what should happen. I'm saying what will happen. Turkey won't go for nukes before Iran reaches missile quality nukes. I don't have any idea on a possible Turkish program. Also don't know if there are guarantees by others or anything. Just that if need be they will spend %10 of GDP...

Turkey won't get nukes until the day a nuclear power threatens Turkish sovereignty. US is not that because they don't go flailing around screaming nukes a la 50s. Russia is not that because NATO. Israel also isn't because their posture is wholly defensive or actively defensive, and even at his...

And to add, do correct me if i'm wrong but Toros and Sakarya/Mızrak programs are also unrelated. Sakarya was Roketsan's own undertaking, in which I believed they used knowhow they got from the captured Iranian Type-63(T-107) clone which they got from an interned ship.

Unlike Akıncı, Tapas is twin Rotax powered, similar to Aksungur. Though it does indeed look similar to Anka per payload capacity. It's pretty much wrong this was its 2nd test flight though. In june, they announced its 200th test flight.

Not necessarily but comparing a 50 year old product to a 2020 model one will bring out a lopsided comparison, no matter which product. Korkut was tested in Libya, we can expect the same for Hisar. But i don't think that sat image is proof.

And now a Meko, specifically a Barbaros class. well well well.

Yes, but tbh that sat image doesn't really confirm them being Hisars. Though I agree Libya would be the ideal place to test the Hisar complex.

This was refuted.

And injured soldiers were 3 Brits and one Slovak I think.

Apparently Dearsan built and exported a mid size hovercraft(s?) to Turkmen Navy??
