In an ideal world you use radars on the ground and in air(like in an Akıncı) to detect them and use fast moving high performance jets with pilots that can make on the spot decisions to undertake kill missions.

EOTS show off here is more important than the munitions launches; great capability. Looks like the LGK might have missed the designated mark. American way of using APKWS on F-16s currently is the cheapest way to shoot down kamikaze drones before terminal phase. They can carry upwards of 14/28...

We have multiple drones with similar capabilities; and many of them were used in conflicts, but not by us. TAF is not really interested in them i think so far.

We shouldn't count things in a vacuum. Same Shaheds also force Ukraine to employ tens of thousands of TDF guys manning otherwise useless posts to wait for and defend against drones coming to cities, sometimes 1000kms away from the frontline. TAF is a NATO army. If TAF decides to employ these...

We also see a what looks to be an EW pod one of them. That's very interesting.

This is a weird design. It looks like an attritable TB2. Biggest cost item on the drone the EO sight is replaced with a much smaller unit. Still have many similarities to TB2, which does make sense, they built over 800 TB2s so it is easy to believe that they can churn out components on the...

Ohh, wasn't the air force one for a larger heavier one?

Per SIPRI, Spain already got the approval for the 30 F404s to be used on Hürjets.

"...According to SIPRI, approval has been granted for the engines of the T129 ATAK helicopters to be sold from the U.S. to Bangladesh." @Afif

I believe MKE has been building these fuzes for a long time, most our ships had a similar capability for years for 76 and 127mm. What Strales adds is the radar and the faster rate of fire.

That doesn't win them the war, and fucks the world economy after the retaliation. Probably because Ukraine needs those men more and they weren't on offer then. But Ukraine needs all the goodwill it can get so they are on offer when they are desperately needed.

We saw spent HIMARS cases in Kuwait in the desert and footage of them being used in Bahrain; yes.

Per what's released, most of the Iranian navy was indeed stationary.

Refer to page 108.

If that's true, then I don't think people understand the possible implications of this. If there are rogue elements in Iran that have their hands on BMs, we can't just sit still, in that case we have to invade or at least set up CAP and ISR over northern Iran where there are still many SAMs to...

Nothing solid so far. But pennant being painted etc is not a proof of anything as we've seen with Akhisar. She was all ready, had a pennant number, even her shield/crest was ready

4th Istif İçel, being fitted out.

There's no doubt that both BMs were fired from Iran. Second communique directly mentions Iran this time around as well. It's either elements in IRGC sending retaliations everywhere, rogue elements or Israelis on the ground inside Iran are aiming 1000km BMs at Turkey. What's certain is 2 BMs from...

And the target was Incirlik, sirens gone off.

They don't really have an equivalent to SM3 at this time.
