No TB3 deployment. Unless they bring something out of the hat in two days, claimed september deployment of TB3s on Anadolu is one other failed claim.

Orko mentions where we are clearly. If there is CAATSA against SSB in Turkey, US by law cannot export F110s to Turkey to be used on Kaan. This has been known for years. There's no Kaan by its current form as long as CAATSA is in place. I think this new explanation by Fidan on engines in not...

This bid wasn't chosen. TAEC is defunct before it ever took off the ground as far as i'm aware. They used to have a website, that too is gone. Per public info, Turkey wanting to push Qatari involvement in the ownership of the company ultimately led RR to pull out from TRMotor as well.

Noone in the electorate cares whether Kaan flies with F110s or TF35000s. Kaan existing and flying is enough for a win. I think the discussions continue and nothing is certain so far. Nothing has changed compared to last week officially. It was probably a step in the right direction re relations.

Security is good.

Siper 1-D(N) launch from MIDLAS.

Under the deal, 2 would be built in France and other 2 would be built in Russia with French support.

I think "being built" is a rather generous term for those two. I don't think they went more than keel laying. They aren't building anything by themselves and DCNS cooperation ended a decade ago.

I don't think this is as big of a leverage as it's made out to be. TK for decades have run a dual fleet of European and American aircraft. It's a doubling of the fleet to get better deals from manufacturers and to make sure in the event of a crisis, portion of the fleet can run regardless, be it...

If it can come, that is.

Spanish document mentions aircraft being built in Turkey and then being modified to Spanish needs, rather than different blocks having different equipment. One thing I like is that 45 number probably means Spanish acroteam Patrulla Aguila will be returning with Hürjets. They were finally...

US didn't lie. They clearly told us what would happen. Erdogan government thought they were bluffing so they called the bluff and we were met with CAATSA and being booted from F-35. We never asked for Rafales. We never asked for Gripens either. But they did help get TF-X start off in 2013...

Aircraft will be built by TAI in Turkey and modified by Airbus in Spain. Deliveries will start in 2028 with first units being ready for 2029-30 training period.

Spain is planning to buy up to 45 Hürjets. Not clear if some of it will be options or not.

At least 1 Cougar and Seahawk now visible. And those green structures look a lot like TB3 FCS.

Turkey rejecting demands to use Turkey as a launchbed for the 2003 invasion(for its benefits and problems) was a case of independent foreign policy.

And it wasn't a leader's party then like it is now. Nayers were pretty open about it while Erdogan was pushing them to accept.

Anadolu Task Group is once again reactivated for Neptune Strike 25/3 with Anadolu, 2 Gabya Class frigates and Gür class sub I. İnönü. I also see 3 AH-1Ws in the hangar deck. Army Cougars and hopefully a Chinook will be deployed from army bases once she's on her way. I do hope we see some TB3...

There's no frigate to be had for 300 million. There are only a handful frigates to be had for 600 million. An equivalent, bit larger European design will go for 800. STM is very competitive, their prices and deals they offer reflect that. Filipino Malvars are overgrown OPVs with CODAD and...

Still waiting to see the same shot over Eskişehir with the correct livery...
