    He's being cryptic on purpose as nothing is official for now but I also think we will also see some fantastical MoUs before during and after the NATO summit. "The Germans have some very interesting requests from Turkey in the defense industry sector. They’re acting as if they weren’t the ones...

    EU is not a unitary state, it's also not a state and its bodies make differing, clashing decisions all the time. Government itself is also very happy with this decompartmentalized relationship. Business is business and rest is just noise for the government.

    There will be an Akar class replacement sooner or later. Hopefully we'll see two sisters to complement Derya after 2030s. Hopefully 1+ Derya and 1 more Durmuş.

    Welp. If I didn't know better I'd say this is a textbook example of "throwing one under the bus"

    Indonesia already got Trisula. Trident is the export version of Trisula; Trisula means Trident. Doesn't look that different. Czech trucks, "Czech" radars, Roketsan missiles.

    No, Istifs carry 4x4 ASMs. It's one thing going for the design.

    An Italian Samp-T will be deployed to Konya AFB under NATO defense. Surprisingly this is not the first time an Italian Samp-T was deployed to Turkey. I don't think there's much connection to the claimed Samp-T/Aster-30 buy of Turkey. Konya is a large base and is home to Nato E-3s.

    Süper Şimşek is a LO drone and it was maneuvering for these tests. And all the personnell in the video that I can see is from the air force, not from companies.

    They signed a G2G contract, it's not yet clear which design will be supplied by which company. Just that it will be built in Turkey.

    Every single C919 order save for about 20 Singaporean and about 3 Laotian aircraft are from Chinese airlines and leasing firms, about half of all total orders are from Chinese banks. They bet on financing and then leasing the aircraft abroad once the certification outside is done. It still has...

    Of course, E-Jets use PW engines. To be clear I don't think this is about a new or joint IP for a new project but TAI taking part in some part(from built to spec to print to build, maybe even license building) of E-Jet production; with possible future dealings in military sector. Political will...

    Looks like the long mentioned Embraer E-Jet partnership with TAI might also come together with a THY buy of E-Jets if it happens. I don't really see how that really would work unless it's for AJet, but let's see. "What makes this matter significant is not just Turkish Airlines’ search for...

    This was quick. Before new LSTs are even awarded, one of the Bey Class LSTs was reclassed as a cargo ship along with old 140 class LCTs instead of a landing ship and other is removed from service altogether.

    Our last entry into WC was 2002, before that it was 1958. We never had that magic honestly save for individual talent and greater camaraderie in 2002. Lineup was shit for this match and Montella is out of his depth. Australians used a very simple tactic of all hands on deck defending trusting...

    Sea Launch used a modified oil rig to send out many successful missions using Zenit rockets over a decade. There was one explosion aboard during a launch about 20 years ago but noone was injured as all launches were done remotely. Using an active duty ship as a space launch vehicle would make...
