It's hardly the layman's fault if the government appointed bureaucrats and the government appointed GMs of the state owned companies are unable to explain very, very simple export control contracts to the governments. Meh. Anka-3 crashed. What happened? Nothing. A private firm had a mishap the...

You don't seriously believe this came as a surprise to people up top. Of course you can't, they are literally American toolkits given to Turkey and TEI for a specific purpose, to license build F110s to be put on to F-16s or other contracted aircraft; it's export control in the most basic terms...

We need production partners and customers, not development partners. We most certainly need customers who can be production partners to bear the brunt of production costs.

That's not all related to how the programs are run. Why would Germany fund development and pour billions into it to create a jet for French needs without answering German needs. This is the gist of the issue. They are supposed to be equal partners; why should France take the lead on a project...

Its location?

I wouldn't be surprised if the radar test from earlier today was linked to this as well. That's a whole kill chain on the cheap; spectacular.

Boom of course. Kaan is huge, need that faster rate of transfer.

It was never explicitly mentioned; but it'll be left as is tradition. 5 year old slide: -- Interestingly we see 2 side by side central bays here; which is interesting. Makes me think if they rejected the tandem or if it will have two huge ones; or 3 bays(2 front, one back) not counting the...

Yup. It was a bullshit smear attempt that didn't land.

Might be a way to fit the shoe to the foot, but Eastern Sentry is not about shadow fleet movements. It's mostly for airspace defence, aircraft and drones.

That won't happen.

I don't really agree with this. That process is long and have many layers. Air force by its nature is different than the navy. Air force will take drones into service; they will be IOC later. I also don't really think IWB is a necessity to take them into service. They will still have many...

Yes, FEWS is the Fighter Electronic Warfare System; it's being developed for Özgür. -U must mean Unmanned; so Fighter Electronic Warfare System-Unmanned

Well, that's interesting. Anadolu(and its task force?) to be deployed to the Baltic under Eastern sentry. This was not originally planned or announced. Unclear what's the duration is.

Baykar doesn't really share IP; and it would be vice versa.

Both Anka-3 and KE are developed using company funds, they are not SSB or MSB projects. Nothing wrong with incurring few of them each into service to fund further development and get to know the platforms during actual testing by the air force. Both platforms still need some more time to cook...

If this was navy or air force; i could see a future play. I actually do think that France and Turkey will get closer in the next decade. But this is army and army actually does have experience with French engines on attack helicopters from the first and second ATAK programs. They won't get...

Israel has more nukes than you.

Yup, Star just stole the news without giving a source. It's an article about what is Kaan for Spanish readers with a part about how one large Spanish company can directly contribute to it. There's no deal with ITP(yet.)

Italians love their AW101s and PPA is designed to be able to carry a single AW101 or 2 smaller NH90s. Its aviation capabilities are pretty good.
