As President Erdogan said second LHD that will be designed as a drone mothership is a go. The Navy wants additional OPVs. The OPV requirement involves a total of 10 Hisar class OPVs but those might be ordered in batches the first batch of 2 vessels are in construction second batch might be 4...

Well if it is guaranteed that we will get 35 F-16 Özgür with MURAD and Gökhan ready with full operational capability I think it is worth the wait. 36 months is not a long time.

Nope, no need to go there. Upgrading existing tanks and +250 new Altays will be enough for the foreseeable future. 250 Altays+300+ upgraded Leo2s+150+ existing M-60TM Sabra+ 300 M-60TR (national upgrade for M-60A3). Total 1000 frontline tanks with APS.

Hopefully after 250 tanks we completely stop the production other than possible exports and move on to a next-generation tank with hybrid propulsion and a 3-man crew.

This is an absurdly low amount of production capacity. Small gun workshops in the Blacksea region can reach better figures than this.

Other than Smart-S it looks good. We should have installed the required power generation/delivery systems and done EMI/ECM tests for the CENK-S. The Navy should have made plans to switch CENK-S from the SMART-S in a few years and install Smart-S on other platforms like TCG Bayraktar and some of...

The new president of Brazil is friendly to Turkiye and Erdogan so a deal might be reached if not it is already in motion.

The rumours about the Reis project are true but let's not get ahead of ourselves cancelling the Reis project is a big move and I doubt Germans will take that step so until Germany acts on its veiled threat we should not make it bigger than it seems. Having said that, Germans are acting like...

Germany is considering (nothing concrete yet) extending its arms embargo on land systems to cover the naval systems. This news is an answer to that. Israel is behind this. Israel is pushing Germany to cancel the Reis project. Israel acted after Erdo slammed Netanyahu and Israel over the Gaza...

I expect RR officials to make a new offer with their local partners but I doubt it will be accepted. It might though, depending on the offer.

This is mostly about engines. This means our engine project is on track and pesky Brits smelled it and they are trying to sweeten the deal.

Gökdemir is integrated into AIC. AIC has its own radar and most of the time AIC gets radar data from a Kalkan or Kalkan-II because they are most of the time part of the same air defense unit. Of course, AIC is connected to RADNET and HERIKSS therefore get data from those...

Kalkan II and AIC.

SpaceX Starship won't have any competition for a long time. Even the Falcon Heavy class reusable rocket is years away for the Chinese.

It seems like TOGG production is ramping up smoothly.

Don't be surprised if the unready Özgür upgrade achieves readiness faster than the ready Viper upgrade. We are dealing with the US here.

Sources mention two different ambushes one in Netzarim and the other one in Beyt Hanun.

It seems like Hamas took 40+ prisoners including 4 Delta Force soldiers. There are sources quoting 100+ dead. 109 dead, 70+ prisoners according to this account. Clash Report also reported "something".

Hamas scored a big blow. Hamas took hostages including the US Delta Force soldiers. At least 70 Israeli-US soldiers died in the ambush.
