"During the signing ceremony, Türkiye joined Finland, France, Poland, and Spain as participants in the Cooperative Airborne Early Warning Initiative. The initiative aims to enhance Allied airborne early warning capabilities through multinational cooperation in procurement, training, operations...

Unsure, probably Maritime Launch Services. It's a Canadian space launch company. These videos are from the "look Trump, we are spending money for NATO" campaign of Rutte. They bundle up any and all deals that are being signed in the past and future 2 months and show a big shiny number.

Give me a quote on that.

Your cope on F-35 is honestly at insane levels man. Leiter is a soft spoken historian, he's being diplomatic in tone. And tbh he's one of the few in Bibi's main circle that have been "middling" re Turkish relations. Netenyahu on the other hand repeated the same stuff he's been saying for a...

Majority of USD spent will be spent by countries on other countries. But surely we'll hear some big ones for us as well.

Gezgin is subsonic.

Salihreis MLU probably started a few months later, november-december. She had an MRO first for 1-2 months.

No, it hasn't.

Great shots of Oruçreis in New York for the US' 250th birthday fleet review.

Still no sign of Vuran Sungur 5 years later.

Just saw Evren Mercan quote this cover of Navy Magazine issue 570 from 1997. Headline reads "Towards the Open Seas". It's always been clear that navy staff envisioned a true blue water navy. Give them budget and political backing, and they will want carriers and more power projection...

Per what was last released, Mk-84 will be carried externally. AFAIK, F-35 is the only fighter that can carry a 2000lbs bomb internally.

İçel, F-518 really have been the fastest of the three sisters. Already flagged up, continuing her sea tests. Should be delivered in a few months, surely before 2027.

There's this too. Now there are 3 attempts at different phases and levels. Tübitak, Baykar and IC. There's also the MoU between RR and energy ministry.

HGK-84 kits are really not that hard to build compared to HGK-82 or say Teber kits. We should remember that Mk-84s are more specific weapons and like all weapons it has its advantages and disadvantages. If TurAF is ordering them in lower numbers, it's not because supplychain but doctrine.

That's literally how North Syria became a hotbed for PKK.

Bursa based HVS Aviation ordered 2 P180s. They recently got their air taxi certification and operate 2 G4s and a helicopter. @Zafer https://tolgaozbek.com/haberler/genel-havacilik/bursali-hvs-havacilik-2-piaggio-p180-siparisi-verdi/

We should add, they also chose their fight as F-35 and not engines. Greek publications that are linked to FDD and Hellenic Leaders like Kathimerini were quick to release reports saying "engines and F-35 are not linked".

Great point after 22:00 mark. Vance did mention a certification process already being underway regarding legality of transferring F-35s to Turkey(S400). And a sale notice was made to the congress for F110 engines. Engines will be delivered to TAI; and the project belongs to SSB, which is under...

Oh boy. S400 second system is also in the cards for sure 🤭
