Even with embargo in place, customers would order the EOs from Wescam and have it attached by Baykar technicians in the host country. So I doubt that.

Doubt, it adds unnecessary complexity to the design. Maybe with Kaan in the future.

EO is hard, building them in numbers for the cheap is harder. Looks like Turkey bought 25 million worth of "Optical devices, appliances and instruments" from Canada in June 2024 alone. Surely there are some smaller articles in the total number for medical and recreational use, but suffice to...

Boran is not a niche product, it's a 105mm gun built to replace hundreds of 70 year old M101 and M116s in service. If anything, 76mm gun is the niche product that will maybe see 50-60 built during its production cycle discounting spare barrels, if we're lucky. Boran was exported to Macedonia...

3 years passed, where is it? This is the same MKE that boasts with delivering 7 Borans a year so I'd prefer seeing them in real life first.

For some reason, I really doubt it. Really hope the gun is not what delays the deliveries in the future, huge possible bottleneck. To add, we don't know if the navy is interested in the 76mm gun for CIWS duty, just that it would be great to have it as option. But it won't be an option unless...

Google Translate failed me...

Göktuğ tests continue. GÖKDOĞAN, our first indigenous and national air-to-air BVR missile developed by TÜBİTAK Defense Industry R&D Institute @SageTubitak, hit the target aircraft with pinpoint accuracy during the capability demonstration firing test activities conducted with the Air Force Command.

"According to the information I have received, the acceptance of the first three serial production T625J GÖKBEY Helicopters has not been completed in time for August 30, as the ongoing Military Certification activities of GÖKBEY Helicopters have not yet been completed. However, pilots...

Don't remember seeing it before. What a weird relationship we have with US. Can't get the more basic stuff but underwater insertion vehicles for frogmen is apparently okay. Should be the Stidd DPD-XT. Nevermind, HI Sutton article from 2018 shows SAT as a user, so should be an old procurement.

Catch up :) JnGK is a civilian agency now.

"No such thing", clarifies Levent Kemal.

Looks great! Still not delivered though. Another wasted promised delivery date, but at least we get an eye candy this time. Delivery should be soon.

Talk is cheap. "One of the most important tests for the Organization of Turkic States as a regional power was to develop a common strategy in foreign policy. Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, and now Uzbekistan do not want to give up the relationships they have developed with Israel."

This is pretty good, wish color grading was a bit more natural tho.

I'm 90% sure Şahin is just one of the fruits of Aselsan's 40mm Atom project for base defense based on Sarp, so that tracks. What I really mean is as you say, can we employ this on all our existing Sarps of which we have many(do give me a quote if able, I think it's no less than 700) and how...

Per Levent Kemal, yesterday's big man was apprehended and will be brought forward to a military court.

Welp I missed that.

Add 8-16 to 21, that's just 29-37 in target rich environment. Italians have everyone else beat in this. What we probably need is airburst rounds for our 76mm main guns. Greeks showed that even the 127mm can be effective against slow moving air targets. It's much cheaper and ships can carry not...

I know that it can operate it, there are photos of it, and even Pars SOV vehicles have them. I meant video of it using ATOM in C-UAS role. Aselsan have been working on this for years. Below images should be at least 5 years old. One other thing remains. How efficient Sarp with Atom can be...
