Let's gooo

Özgür-1 is national mission computer, IFF and other avionics. Özgür-2 is new radar, Aselpod, national EW hardware, T-Link and new weapons including Gökdoğan AAM. Özgür-1 is for block 30s only, while Özgür-2 is for B30, 40 and 50s.

I knew that warhead was too small to be PG-7.

Interesting, to say the least... - You can increase commonality with running gear and cockpit to some degree but it is still added cost on the base design. And more importantly, I think navy still wants a larger helicopter more similar to AW-101, so this doesn't really answer their needs. -...

First one took ages due to planning and subsystem embargoes that required almost all weapons and radar systems to be changed. Next ones were ordered in 2023 and second ship is expected for 2026 with other 2 to follow very closely.

Turkey is currently building 3 Istif class ships. While it is not impossible for one or two of them to be transferred to Indonesia, I don't see it happening because navy is growing at a nearly exponential rate and they need ships to replace old ones. Maybe transfer one and one new build, could...

Please read the above replies and the last page, no need to post the same thing multiple times, discussions can move forward as quotes :)

oh no. 🤭 Hope it fares better than our Altay.

Much confusion still. -- There's nothing to suggest so far that "a longer range Air-to-Air Missile than GÖKDOĞAN", isn't Gökhan.

Of course. You are as valuable as your word. We said we wouldn't, and we didn't. All our old stocks are also under NATO books, there's nothing to suggest Turkey produced cluster munitions after 90s, although it has shown the capability to develop them with Demet years ago. Ones we sent to...

It isn’t, but had stated in the past that it would no longer produce cluster munitions. New realities necessitate a change in that policy.

Tolga Özbek instead claims first delivery date is not 2027 but 2026. "Following today's news that the HÜRJET will be delivered in 2027, I spoke to TAI sources. Although the SSB reports indicated that the delivery date was 2027, this date was brought forward to 2026. TAI attaches great...

If the B-0 delivery date to AF is being updated from 2025 to 2027, can we safely say it's maturing at the indicated rate?

TF-10000 is too small for Hürjet, F404 gives nearly 40% more dry and 80% more wet thrust.

Tower? Horrible translation.

Things aren't going well for UAE as well. "UAE defense ministry announces the deaths of 4 soldiers and injuries to 9 soldiers. They "were carrying out their duty in the country." Military sources say Emiratis were killed in the attack by Sudan's air force on Nyala airport on Tuesday."

Hürjet program update: "Delivery of 4 Block-0 aircraft in 2027 and 12 Block-1 aircraft with the same configuration in 2028-2029" Original announced calendar was 4 Block-0 aircraft for air force testing in by the end of 2025 and 12 Block-1s until end of 2028. 2 year delay, which will inevitably...

Agreed, but the real life construction, as in design mostly leaving the desk and lab test phase to real world starting is something we have been waiting for nearly 2 decades now. Let us have our fun 🤪

Well, here we go! Tomorrow the first steel cutting ceremony for TF-2000 will be held at Istanbul Shipyard Command. TCG Savarona will be (officially) delivered at the same ceremony. --------- False Alarm, ceremony was postponed to next week due to Erdogan's scheduling conflicts...

Apart from keeping RIM-116; I think jury is still out on which CIWS system is more viable: Gun or missile based. Americans are going with RAMs and SeaRAMs on their new ships for example. Navy is going for missiles in front, gun at the back on TF-2000. They must have more data then we do.
