That would be South America, not Pacific. Pacific naming is indeed interesting. CV90120 is now also being sent to Brazil for testing. There's the first rival. Otokar securing this would be a major victory.

What can we offer to Uzbekistan today and in the future? At some point we will also need to accept the fact that Greece and South Cyprus are EU. We should watch the North Cyprus elections for this year. Let's see what is the new policy after the last 5 year's two states policy pretty visibly...

That tends to happen when you don't have anything to offer in a counter offer. What can we offer to Uzbekistan?

With what money? We don't have enough budget for our own needs in the first place. Syria doesn't have access to capital as it's still sanctioned by US and they are hungry for oil coming from the east.

Many people put forward many things. Israel doesn't have the capability or the force structure to force a corridor through the Syrian desert, Raqqa, tribal territory and Tabqa to the north. They barely handle the Druze and the tribes near Golan.

Assad being weak did not have any advantages for us, with millions of Syrians in Turkey and with Syrian markets being closed to us. It was pretty advantageous for Israel as they still had free reign over Syrian airspace. Assad being gone and Russians being reduced to a single base for the time...

Mansup is basically the Brazilian Exocet. Ironically we have now come full circle in engine development, from using French engines to being ambargoed, to making our own and now selling said engines to others. First version of Mansup had a Brazilian engine. Pretty sure Edge buying half of the...

Remembering this from October. "Minister of National Defense Yaşar Güler received Lieutenant General Saddam Khalifa Haftar, Commander of the Libyan National Army Land Forces, who came to Ankara at the invitation of General Selçuk Bayraktaroğlu, Commander of the Turkish Land Forces."...

Good eye from 2 weeks ago.

Yup, ramjet engine =/= ramjet engine missile. For starters, I believe Aselsan will deliver the seeker heads for first Gökhan (prototypes) in 2026. First real world operational deployment of Gökhan with LRIP units I think is at least 5 years away.

Tübitak SAGE 2024 report. Gökhan is still years away. "- The preliminary design of the Ramjet-powered GÖKHAN missile has been completed. - Low-scale production of Gökdoğan and Bozdoğan missiles and their integration into F-16 PO-III and F-16 Block30 Özgür aircraft are ongoing."

They order Airbus or Boeing because it's a duopoly. There isn't any Turkish market for regional jets, every single airliner that tried it failed. Our market is small, number of passengers is small and we have plenty of large airports. It just makes much more sense to buy a A320 and send it to...

At some point we will need to discuss the escalation latter and the consequences of the possible Israeli Turkish standoff.

10-15 years too late, but great news regardless. Hope it's more than just building build to print parts.

They've flown hundreds of sorties in 3 months, striking every single Syrian arsenal, air force base and port they could find. They struck chemical weapon research stations, old army bases with tens of thousands of tons of munitions inside so the new military won't have them. There is no "Syrian...

TAI and Embraer signed a cooperation agreement at LAAD 25. No details I can find on the specifics or the area of cooperation, but there are plenty of things both companies and countries can offer each other.

"On the sensor side, the approach in KAAN can be described as “omnidirectional-multispectral”. For detection in the RF band, BURFIS (Integrated Radar Frequency System); will provide a nearly 360-degree detection and electronic warfare capability for KAAN thanks to its nose, tail and lateral...

I understand your core point, but there simply isn't a verifiable metric for this, at least on open sources. That's what I mean by politicized. For politicians, arms are just another export item, they view it as high tech export and sometimes share "dollar per kilo" values, another meaningless...

Asking it questions that it doesn't know the answers to is still forbidden, as it doesn't bring anything to the table. Using it to show some bullet points for an hour long Turkish interview with a very important name without subtitles is pretty okay as it is a service to the international...

It's wholly politicized and that whole thing frankly doesn't mean anything. "80%" localization is useless when it currently uses an ITAR engine for starters.
