That is a bullshit source who acknowledged lying directly when it suited his needs. It's worse than a bad source. Japan is still yet to buy TB2s for army trials; I don't see TB3 for the navy yet. Wish they did.

We first saw it in Syria in 2023 or early 2024 I think. It's been used in Syria, Libya, Kashmir, Ukraine, Somalia, Sahel. Already exported to multiple countries, no less than 6. We don't know much about it.

Both TAIS and ASFAT bidding for Thailand's frigate procurement program, along with Hyundai, Hanwha, Navantia and ST. I'd expect a Korean win here, but let's see. https://www.nationthailand.com/news/general/40065357

AH-1s are navalized by their nature. TAI of 2010 is very different from TAI of 2026. This is nothing they can't handle themselves with support from Havelsan

Continuing from Malaysia, they also signed deals with Korean LIG Nex1 and Roketsan for the missiles for LMS2(3 Ada Class corvettes for Malaysian needs). Announced deal with Roketsan is 24 Atmaca ASMs for 79.5 million EUR or RM369.2 million "SHAH ALAM: The Defence Ministry announced the...

It should be ARES-2N ESM mast.

This design was shared around a few times on twitter today, probably will be shared here soon as well; so better to get ahead of it. This is Navtek's CATOBAR design from 2023. It's not new, and we don't know if DPO entertained the idea of a CATOBAR carrier in 2023.

There will be a full scale EF mockup at Saha Expo this year. Bare minimum tbh; let's see if it the presented loadout will be of Turkish buy or possible future Turkish loadout; or simply a regular sales demo.

It was officially signed for yesterday.

2 Istifs are not sold yet. And there's hardly a market for DDGs out there; countries usually make those themselves. Only ones I remember are the Chinese Sovremennys and the Taiwanese Kidds. If a country needs and can operate a DDG, they can usually simply make it themselves. No customer of ours...

In 15 years we can expect at least 4 DDGs; even 6-8 if they order them back to back like Istifs. On DPO's own drawings and models we saw Hürjet, KE and Anka-3. That wasn't a company presentation; it's the navy itself. All can be made available in 15 years.

No, it just looks like one. Like how Aselpod looks like Litening.

It's not a show per se. More complicated. But it is true that old units are being reclassed as commando units. Most of our active commando brigades are not actually "commandos"; they are light(er) infantry. No more motorized infantry in the ranks, they're all commando now. With 8x8 and tank...

Only missing the OGM T70 here. T70s of (left to right) army, gendarme and air force together.

Probably, that's what they usually do.

Secretary general's job isn't to create policy; it's to keep everyone on a near footing. His biggest job is keeping Trump happy, Erdoğan in check and Orban non relevant. He's honestly doing a great job so far. I applaud the guy.

Nazis lost and all those subs were sunk by superior air power and convoy tactics; and they lost the war because allies could simply build more than what nazis could sink. Lesson here isn't "build more subs", it's "don't be at war with a land superpower and US at the same time" --- None of what's...

Navy has been studying SSNs for a decade and have been writing about them openly for 3-4 years. Nükden was presented last year. You're aware that France!! is a UN security council permanent member and a nuclear triad owner for about 60 years, right?

It's Baykar's world. Interestingly K2s are numbered, PT1, PT2, PT3, S4 and S5.

There's no point to do all that without a carrier on top. Tepe Class is built around the radar suite. It was a 6500 ton ship 5-7 years ago with 48-64 cells. It grew more in size due to navy requirements. In a hot war 48 cells will be enough for a single engagement, they will burn through...
