From TAI GM's recent Sabah interview: "To date, we have built 3 plus 4 prototypes on the GÖKBEY serial production line." https://www.sabah.com.tr/gundem/2025/05/05/2026da-uc-kaan-gokyuzunde-dans-edecek?paging=2 I don't know how to read this. 3 is the first 3 production helicopters given to...

Block 2 purchase is nothing new, but this is much bigger news.

Of course it is, that's not how IFF works.

It could take the long route like the previous Israeli delegation aircraft that visited Azerbaijan last month.

Hürjet delivery to HvKK is expected in last quarter of 2026 or Q1 of 2027. -- "Turkish Aerospace General Manager Mehmet Demiroglu says the company’s Hurjet could become the training platform for NATO nations. In the coming weeks, Turkish Aerospace is expected to sign an agreement with Airbus...

Ukrainian engine in question is an outdated engine, similar to ones we have on Mi-17s and early Mi-24s. It's a 50 year old Soviet design. T925 and T929 will have those engines as their basis. Later changing the design will require extensive rework, meaning more money spent on development or a...

This is nothing new actually, have been reiterated multiple times in the last year. I don't like the look of that schedule, doesn't instill confidence. And Ukrainian engines for the early models, accepting they will be running outdated gear and will be underpowered. Sad.

100 F404 engines were ordered in 2023 at the latest. No "congress phase" takes 2 years.

Navy Recognition's headline for this, "Turkish Navy Commander confirms plan to develop nuclear-powered submarines after actual Reis-class", certainly didn't help.

Can't have extra. Systems require manpower to operate. Army won't be taking in whole systems to put them in a depot. Spare missiles; per unit level sure, spare systems, no.

Spanish civilian reactors are either French or American and have no plans for nuclear powered vessels; and Italians more than likely will use American reactors for their subs. That leaves us. Who will give us reactors?

7 ships in 9 years, such a successful program so far.

Possible continuation of business links with Chile. Claimed Aselsan offer of modernizing up to 270 Chilean Marder 1A3s with Aselsan gear. No details on the scope of the program. But Chilean links are nothing new, Aselsan was tasked with modernizing radios of these vehicles few years ago as well...

At such an angle and low speed, there's also the real possibility that ejection could lead to fatality or serious injuries. I don't think Terminators had their ejection seats replaced, so they are carrying renovated seats from 60 years ago with much less capability.

Israelis don't use Mk2s in active fighting. These are two videos from two different places. Tanks are tanks, history is history. I don't want slow painful deaths for anyone, including the tanks. Least we expect from all users for any topic is to fact check before they post things.

I think one reason is we are seeing an increase in flights where such incident are possible. More show flights than in the past.

What would be very skillful is not needing that maneuver in the first place. Disaster averted, again. Hopefully there won't be a third time.

That's not tanks burning, but bushes behind them. And from what I could see, this is not a base but a tank museum. There are plenty of Mk2 out there but there are some great examples of history in that museum, hope they're unscathed.

Pakistani Minister for Information & Broadcasting: "Pakistan has credible intelligence that India intends to launch a military operation in the next 24 to 36 hours, using the Pahalgam incident as a pretext. Any aggression will be met with a decisive response. India will bear full responsibility...
