Gabriele says per his sources "40 jets from UK" are to be 20 to be ordered and 20 options, with no ex-RAF frames. This makes more sense, because there's not enough T1s to go around, and more importantly, RAF is already shrunk enough for its size, they can't really afford to lose them as well...

In the past, one selling point of EF was that it was almost open source, users could handle integrating munitions they wanted to add themselves; all partner nations got a development prototype and these still fly today for testsi But in reality, because most of the users of EF are either...

While these are the largest munitions so far rated for its hardpoints, I was never able to find a max limit. It's obviously not higher than 2 tons per hardpoint, but we don't have a definitive number. Eurofighter is clearly designed for carrying multiple long sticks in a smaller form factor...

Jets that came to Turkey are not T1s. RAF only operates 4 T1s at the moment, all of them based in the Falklands.

And here I am with ANOTHER claim. "The two countries signed a provisional agreement in July for 40 jets and have since continued negotiations over technical specifications and pricing, which Ankara reportedly found relatively high. One source familiar with the matter said that of the 40 jets...

There are no RAF EFs in production, they didn't place any new orders. Only order that is currently on the BAE line are the 12 Qatari T4s. RAF is yet to order anything. They do not have any orders. Unless Oman or Qatar orders a follow up after we take theirs, only future order BAE is to see is...

Kızılelma with Luneburg lenses for the first time?

There are no viable 40 used aircraft to be had in the first place. It seems TurAF already ended any thoughts of T1s in numbers years ago. Maybe 1-5 test aircraft that won't be combat ready. There are some talks of Omanis having issues with maintaining their EFs; which is interesting; because...

Wind tunnel miniature. Looks like the vertical stabs moved to the sides?

"Sudanese Officials in Washington For Indirect Talks With RSF Following Meeting Between General Burhan and the U.S. in Cairo Despite yesterday’s denial, Sudan’s Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation Mohieddin Salem Ahmed and Sudanese intelligence officials are in Washington...

They for sure gutted Hezbollah and Lebanon is open to Israel like this first time since 82 but Iraq still stands and Iranian nuclear program looks to be mostly unhampered. Last IAEA report still gives the enriched uranium stocks same as before the war. Israel's adversaries have the time on...

Following an April meeting with Saddam Haftar, Turkey’s Defense Ministry announced that Basic Commando Training has begun for Libyan National Army since September 8, 2025.

End of good times? Turkey has issued a travel advisory for Mali, citing increased security risks following recent developments in the country.

Land based EW systems, 5th gen subsystems, avionics, some of the newest munitions and drone EW pods. Good nice grouping for East Asian market.

Erdoğan, few minutes ago: "Under the coordination of my Minister of National Defense, we have been discussing the purchase of Eurofighter fighter jets with our counterparts in Qatar and Oman for some time now. The negotiations we have been conducting on this matter, which involves many...

Some stuff were signed at highest level with no details. If they did get agreements with one or two countries for their jets; I think those would still be announced after actual deal is signed with EF consortium.

This is just categorically wrong; biggest names of anti zionist movement are Jewish, they have been for decades.

Of those retired, most are not in a flyable condition as far as we are aware; maybe like 15, not including the 4 jets in the Falklands, because they are not letting those go before 2027. They are still yet to order new aircraft. If this buy finally happens, there's also the training. I had...

Debatable, there have been cases of Baykar drones dropping without missile/gun damage over unfriendly territory; it's not a guarantee, probably 60 to 40. EW and counter EW is hard. There are no 30 RAF T1s. That number is like 18 at most, including the birds to be cannibalized.

Correction: Omani EFs still use mechanical CAPTOR-Ms. Still very good radars; but not AESA; but with a future idea to upgrade them to ECRS Mk0 I wonder how would the fleet composition be with both Captor-Ms and Mk0 Captor-Es. With more funding, T3As as well as RAF T3s can be upgraded to future...
