Not with the flighthours training squadrons incur over time. They start sorties in early morning, fly until 4-5. spend a day close to Çiğli, you'll see at least 50-70 sorties a day every weekday, KT-1s and T-38s. Combat squadrons don't make one third of the sorties training squadrons make. No...

We already do training on "final" aircraft. That's what F-16Ds are mostly used for. Please have a read on initial training made on simple Cessnas, basic training done on KT-1s, advanced training done on simple configuration advanced trainers, LIFT training done on complex configuration advanced...

Our best look to Anka-3's belly yet. Credit to Kayra Duyan.

Speaking of Argentina, they've been using Aselsan's İhasavar anti drone devices with their armored units. That is an Austrian SK-105, very interesting photo.

To lower the costs and to mainly give them a platform that is more forgiving than high performance combat aircraft. Hürjet and T-7 are next gen trainers. There's no realistic reason to make a trainer jet harder to control, which is what you will achieve with a stealthy body design. Another...

More talks of something brewing. KKK chief also visited some bases in the region yesterday.

In their squadrons with their new stealth fighters, not the training squadrons.

Romania is a pretty important country for Turkey. And these are very simple armored vehicles. It's also a great way for the company to enter the EU market for future tenders. Nurol did the same in Hungary for the exact reason.

Pretty much market prices for base vehicles, nearly 1 million apiece. Nurol signed for 100 vehicles with Estonia last year for 70 million, 700k apiece. Nurol NMS was also a contender in Romania's tender but pulled out along with all the others, leaving Cobra II as the sole entrant. To add, "we"...

And finally, Otokar announced to KAP that they've won the Romanian 4x4 tender. 32 billion liras or 932 million dollars. "Following the completion of the technical evaluation, field tests and commercial evaluation processes, the official invitation letter for contract negotiations was sent to...

As it was announced and as I thought, 2 Gabyas, and the 9000 tons TCG Ütğm Arif Ekmekçi will be accompanying Oruçreis to Somalia, forming the "Somalia Naval Task Group". No announcement on the route, but I'm still thinking they will traverse the cape. Both Gediz and Gökova are Genesis ships and...

There's no planned replacement for the American F404 for Hürjet, at least on the public space. F404 is an old, reliable engine that is used by most of the world, have no cutting edge features and some alternatives for it exist, so thinking must be that we don't think Americans will stop its...

Not correct. TF-10000 is a TF-6000 with afterburner, and will not be used on Hürjet as it's too small. We can expect it to be used on new versions of Kızılelma.

Seems to me people don't really get the situation TurAF is in. TurAF is NATO's second largest air force and the third largest air force in the region. Some of its capabilities can only be matched by countries like France and Israel. But, unlike 10 or 20 years ago Turkey now ensures this...

Erdoğan himself said 5 years last year.

Maybe a land component for something, I don't know. Other articles directly lead to a naval platform and they do say so. Maybe a shot detector for riverine patrol boats? Just guessing.

Koluman is a Mercedes distributor. They were part of most Mercedes vehicle acquisitions in the past, old trucks, thousands of Unimogs etc. In the commercial vehicle sector they mostly specialize variant creation like tankers, dump trucks. They however also build trucks in house as well as far as...

New tactical truck, Kısrak from Koluman. Looks to be based on Unimog. BMC Efe production was ended few years ago. Although no deal was announced, we can expect Kısrak to enter service in the near future as some early model Unimogs were retired beginning from 2022.

This is expected but very interesting. IDF has been using VBIEDs based on old M-113 APCs in Gaza for months, but this is the first example from Lebanon (Kfar Kila) I’ve seen. They are used to demine intersections/buildings instead of lineclearing charges & are pulled into place by D9 dozers...
