Kaan as a project is not in a state to be shared with other countries for joint development. To open this up, all the development milestones and future tech for Kaan B0, B10 and B20 are already set in stone. There is no tech to be worked on from beginning for Kaan, no tech we need from someone...

Navy still has the edge and will only widen gap in the next 5 years. Navy also operates more ISR assets, drones and will operate more shore batteries than Greece.

Navy chief will be aboard on Anadolu next week and TB3s will undertake firing drills during Steadfast Dart.

Istanbul and Oruçreis together in Kiel. Two most modern ships in our navy. To add, two of them have 24 VLS cells in total. Currently our navy have 96 cells placed in a total of 9 ships so with two ships in the North Sea, 1/4 of our total VLS count is 3000 kms away. And we are selling two new...

He's probably referring to the new kamikaze drone they've been slowly getting ready to announce.

Nice to see 162 out there after so many years. From yesterday's joint training with 161st.

Akbaba claims TSK already ordered 5+ Gürz.

I was wondering about that heavy duty stand. Very nice show.

Gürz with new model. Göksur VLS, Sungur, Kangal jammer, more radars and EW.

Shape of things to come?

Agreed, some return to normalcy would be good and they would also be a very nice anchor in the region both in Turkey and Iraq / Syria. YBŞ in Iraq should also be dismantled in the meanwhile.

Bey Class ships are ancient; they could only do transport work behind the lines in a modern war. 2 new modern ships with increased USV/UAV capability would be nice to have. They wouldn't be too expensive either. This isn't the first time this is mentioned either. I do remember an option or a...

While good to have, Assyrians online are nothing more than larpers and diaspora in very small numbers. They don't really exist on the ground. State did some good after 2016, doing some small work to invite back diaspora Assyrians...

Semi related, thought it's interesting. Everyone moved further right, but non EU US partners like Australia, New Zealand, Canada show the largest shifts.

2028 actually, 2029 was wrong. Per law, next general elections should be had no later than May 2028. But noone gives a shit about laws anymore so we'll see. People shouldn't have to bear the burden of increased costs for at least a decade for one party's election campaigns.

Of course it is. Government have an election to win in 2029 at the latest. Lead up to the 2023 election was a dagger in the heart of the economy. Defence sector is not huge, Turkey spends less than 3% of its GDP on defence.

It is literally law of the land.

They didn't have a consensus since 1986. These are major works worth tens of billions; basically a new plane like the Super Hornet, there's no possible political capital to go forward with any of these. They barely keep the lights on. Final British Typhoon was delivered to RAF in 2019 for...

Possibly, but Germany is set to be the only user for it for now. And it really is a show of what German led development can be like. Testing phase for this program was finalized 10 years ago. Signed today.

Some nice photos of the newly delivered İzci 8x8 CBRN variant.
