Any of the seven with the strike length MIDLAS.

We know that it's been undergoing land tests for some time. We won't actually see the Gezgin before new Istifs are delivered.

Otokar General Manager Özüner (Regarding the Approximately 4 Billion Lira Penalty Arising from the Romanian Tender): ▪️ “We anticipated potential payment demands (penalties) from the user.” ▪️ “We shared with the public that delays and disputes could lead to additional payment demands.” ▪️...

Kimon's Sylver A70 will probably by able to house 8 McDNs. 8 Exocets are in the quad launchers behind the bridge. It will have 3x8 A50s and probably 1x8 A70 but that's not yet certain. Below infographic is outdated but shows both quad launchers and the VLS.

All true, and it's not done by anyone else so far; but would be a huge boon. Kaan is big and has lots of fuel to go all the way to Libya and do CAP there. 6 long sticks will be needed for future.

I had and still do have my reservations on Kaan's IWB space. Too big of a jet, but until yesterday it probably couldn't carry 4 long range AAMs. Goal should be 6; but unsure if that's planned.

Kimon and the FDI are great ships. But they are also larger oceangoing ships. Istif is a faster ship and more suited for closed seas like Med. This a multidimensional issue. Firstly, we shouldn't expect frigates to take a big role between islands in southeast Aegean. We will see them in the...

Seeing Korhan and not Korkut on flatbed makes me think that this must be a test system and not a product. But, Aselsan indeed put these things on everything so let's see.

To me, most substantial change we have between P0 and P1 so far is the length increase between the two engines. No doubt IWB at the back is now larger, that's good.

Finally we have a great photo of TB3 on take off.

As there's no space center and no Turkish launch vehicle so far, we can safely assume it will be launched again either via Spacex or China.

Looks like Nigeria's second batch of 6 T129s are on track. That'd be boon for the production line.

To clarify, it looks like the one behind the P0 is the static test article, or the iron bird. One on the left is the P1. P2 is not out yet.

MOTHER OF GOD, WE EAT GOOD TODAY.

NEW: Turkish Aerospace General Manager Mehmet Demiroglu told Breaking Defense that the decision-making process for Saudi Arabia’s participation in the KAAN fighter program is in its final stages. The company aims to reach a significant milestone this year, potentially starting with a sale of...

Every large military have their own problems. Egyptians have a huge army, big air force(more AESA equipped fighters than us for example!) and a respectable navy; with issues of maintenance, like all others. They squashed ISIS in the desert, made some good bargains against us in Libya and are...

Times changed.

Kaan as a project is not in a state to be shared with other countries for joint development. To open this up, all the development milestones and future tech for Kaan B0, B10 and B20 are already set in stone. There is no tech to be worked on from beginning for Kaan, no tech we need from someone...

Navy still has the edge and will only widen gap in the next 5 years. Navy also operates more ISR assets, drones and will operate more shore batteries than Greece.

Navy chief will be aboard on Anadolu next week and TB3s will undertake firing drills during Steadfast Dart.
