Not really, Aselsan is a big subcontractor; many stuff are license built and sold. These NSPA tenders are open to every NATO country company; anyone can enter.

Or not. "According to information obtained by Naval News at the exhibition, the sixth and eighth frigates of the program—corresponding to the second and fourth I-class frigates—will be exported to Indonesia. Within the MILGEM program, the first four vessels are ADA-class corvettes, while the...

It's called the Jones Act. No possible way to build an American ship here; and as they did not visit any private shipyards that might want to do it, doubtful. But still, naval shipyard can share knowhow.

USN NAVSEA delegation visited Istanbul Shipyard Command. I don't think this ever happened before, maybe during transfer of OHPs or earlier. Interesting to say the least; but navy did show the world that it can handle so many things all at once, sharing workload between state and private...

There will be many more delays in aircraft and engine production and development. Let's just say that finalization of EFs for the air force was a huge boon.

More F/A-50s apparently.

It definitely won't kinematically, but Hurjet will still have a very potent AESA radar and will be teamed up with KE, as well as AWACS drones from the carrier group. I think it makes sense in our usecase; at worst it will be used to command the drones. I think the first iteration we will see...

Both prototypes were in Erzurum for cold weather tests. Per AA, 3 aircraft per month is expected instead of the original 2. There are now at "about 400" sorties. Flight tests are going spectacularly so far...

Not at all, his timelines moved like lines in the sand all the time. There is a delay, there will be many more delays. We should accept that there will be delays and also demand explanation for the delays. It is billions of our taxpayer money and the most important and hardest undertaking of...

Production of four more Hürjet prototypes, which will be the first group of 12 ordered by the Turkish Air Force for training and light attack configurations, is ongoing." With the order from Spain and the expectation of additional orders from the Turkish Air Force and the Turkish Navy, we have...

P0 TC-HLP in high altitude flights.

Knowing RAF, it's probably at most 4 planes from 12th Sq. It can be read vis a vis many things; Iran, more defence coop between two; or even the TurAF/RAF joint training. Turdef piece also mentioned keeping aircraft in Qatar for a while until things are ready in Eskişehir probably so that...

We don't know the delivery timeline of Mk2s for RAF T3s. Mk2 is touted as being IOC ready by 2030, not 2028. UK still looks at all this as firstly a jobs program; lengthening the timelines work in their favor. MK2 is in testing, LTE is being studied, Phase 4 is still just a thing that exists but...

We don't know if it's going to be ready for delivery; we also don't know the procurement details; nothing is guaranteed. Last week we were getting 12 Omani jets, today we don't know if we do.

Air force will run hundreds of flights for every single thing. This is another world's first. There are no UCAVs like this in service in anywhere in the world. Maybe Russians' S-70, which didn't fare great in Ukraine.

How? As I understand these are for the 40 T3s that are currently in service; as RAF still doesn't have new aircraft on order. There's no info on the delivery timetable for them. We hope that it will be 2030, but that's not certain. Timeline looks interesting on this. Omani T3As with PESA...

Simple detail, both prototypes were in air. Wonder what's the latest sortie number for the program is. They were on flight 300 back on October 10.

They are not. Looks like this is not an export to Qatar but financing for the 2 Indonesian Istifs. Barzan has a subsidiary in Indonesia. https://www.trhaber.com/savunma/milyar-dolarlik-anlasma-tcg-istanbul-un-aynisindan-2-adet-istediler-milgem-firkateyni-ilk-kez-ihrac-ediliyor-h954638.html

Can't realistically do that either. Turkey is a force of stability, stability and order are two things Turkey always follows. Countries that support those don't go pushing statelessness. Regardless, it's just a way to lose your leverage as a state. Enes Kanter is a gulenist; his passport was...

They are Turkish citizens, can't deport your own citizens.
