after a final delay of 2 weeks, 3 T625s are indeed finally delivered to the gendarme. Better late than sorry. We still shouldn't forget that there were so many issues with this project. It wasn't rosy, it had a full on PR blunder, and missed the announced deadlines at least 7 times over 5 years...

I do forget you're a tourist sometimes, true. Meanwhile me and many others will already be in the 2nd percentile only 3-4 months after the year have started. Let's not speak nonsense please. We don't have oil, 89% of the state budget for 2025 is made up from taxes. Taxes are literally everything...

Older LCTs will be retired.

Well here we go! First Tolun test from Anka-3's IWB.

We can't, With Montreux or not, Bosphorus is still a natural waterway. We can make crossing Bosphorus harder by using bureaucracy but we cannot stop the traffic.

I was saying few months to say on the safe side, but was expecting it within a month or so, definitely not back to back. What a day.

I had already changed the DefenceTurk twit to GDH link after it was removed, now that too. Could only mean a sale is very close and they don't want anyone to jump at it without their confirmation :)

But it also mentions other navies, interestingly. Tad weird.

It's what comes first to mind, if we add the recent changes at Aspilsan. A technologic and production cooperation may be in the works, we don't know.

Many news from ASFAT today. "One of the two HİSAR-class Offshore Patrol Vessels produced by ASFAT may be exported to a European country before entering the inventory." Country in question maybe Romania, we've heard about a possible OPV sale to Romania for the last few months. "Negotiations...

Not "will be". Two airports in the region have been base to US units for years and more than likely they have Americans operating there.

Would it kill them to upload an actual high resolution photo for such an important family shot?

Yes, following Istifs will have the taller "strike length" MIDLAS launch systems.

Exactly! Istif production going according to the plans. We should see Izmit being launched within few months as well. New real challenge we face is the TF2000, which will be a lot harder and expensive than Istifs, but we can do it.

Two images have nothing to do with each other. Top one is a placeholder design to showcase Kalkan 050G radars, below one is Altuğ with Korhan turret.

What a lovely day, what a lovely boat with a lovely name.

Tuna engined Vurans have been delivered since 2023 in batches. News is that first Kirpis with the same engine were delivered this week.

While it's not talked about much, I think guys at TAI and SSB over the years grown out of their relationship with the Italians, call it growing apart from each other after 15 years of marriage. And army guys are the most conservative people I know. We have no direct need for any tiltrotor or...

Tells you all need to know about this clown. I'll be seriously considering removing posts based on claims made by this guy unless they have other sources backing it up. Useless drivel.

Interestingly she only carries 3x4 Atmaca ASMs, missing the second portside looking quadruple launcher.
