Indonesian police special forces vehicles in the background with their signature red wheel covers, probably getting ready for a new batch of delivery. Looks like the delivery is delayed by few months tho. “ The first batch of the order of approximately 80 units was delivered to the user...

Disagree re this incident. Any location in the region in question(Crete-Rhodes-Cyprus triangle) is less than 300kms away from a Turkish naval base in the region. Even our FACs and ancient avisos can be and are used to exert our claims. Reason for the silence is economic woes and our hands being...

Biden won in 2020 because he’s not Trump. People are not voting for Biden but against Trump. People will still vote against Trump. This time around, I’m expecting voter apathy and lower turnout, which would increase Trump’s chances.

Both are foreign co owned, neither use or soon plan to use local powerpacks and both have been accepted in service in very small numbers for specialized roles(recovery vehicle built on Seyit by MPG and DROPS vehicles for Derman) by the army. They are good, but not i have in mind. Seyit 8x8...

Not being able to come out with a truck family like this will always be a pet peeve of mine. here’s a need for no less than 2000 5+ ton trucks for just the army needs in the next 20 years with older MAN HXs and BMCs reaching end of their lifespan. If they invested as needed, they could easily...

Simply sending out two TB3s to circle around is one thing. Actual sortie generation is another thing, if we’re talking about naval platforms.

I didn’t call them islamists. It wouldn’t be the first time leftist or general opposition figures got railroaded into becoming fifth columnists or little helpers. I’m old enough to remember 2008, 2011, 2013 and 2015. Makeup of the group’s members have no relevancy. A 15 year old can see that...

New future headache just dropped. IS has a new province, IS Caucasus/Georgia. They may be responsible for the Dagestan attacks today.

Turkey trusts TEI to develop Kaan’s engines. Turkey is already relying on GE engines to develop Kaan itself and for turbines on our ships. TEI is directly responsible for our most important engine project, as well as many others, namely the TS1400 re this topic.

No other TAI or TEI owned company have a relevant engine project as well. TRMotor existing doesn’t take away the TEI shares away from GE. What really matters is the IP rights. Everyone wants to make money and that far down the line for a subcomponent, unless there’s a blanket embargo(something...

Shitty twitter news practices.

I don’t think that was Mete but a foreign tube launched drone.

I dont disagree with the outlook but three points. Number of countries that need a helicopter of this caliber and ones that won’t just buy an Apache can be counted with five fingers. We don’t have a project to nationalize the engines for T925 and T929 and our first priority should be for our own...

For Italians, replacing their own A129s is the main goal with token European sales. African countries that need and can afford attack helicopters already do. Being a 10+ ton attack helicopter, I do not see T929 being an export success. If T629 was around, that’s another point and can find...

I’d think that would need to be discussed doctrinally. Do we need a squad hitting man sized single(maybe double) targets at 1km away with proprietary solutions? This is no fpv drone with a grenade worth 1000$, it’s a whole weapon system.

Calling your country “traitor” for one(“2 states, 1 treason”), would make many think that you place other stuff like your religion buddies or other states before you. They’re fifth columnists. Everybody can follow their own ideology and belief systems but nation must come first. If it doesn’t...

Is there really a market out there for an Apache/Mi-28 weight class heavy attack helicopter that won’t be filled with Apaches or lower weight class helicopters like Zulu Cobra, Z-10 or the AW-249? I don’t think TAI is developing all this for the export market.

I wonder what’s the difference between ATOM and ATOM ANTI UAV is. More pellets and less range?

This is presumably old stuff from 2022 or so.

This is the original plan from before 2016. Ypg continues to exist, cuts ties with KCK and becomes like KDP. It was always a bad plan because YPG is PKK, they have no bad blood between them. The moment someone else offered them a better plan, be is US or Russia, they took it, which made the 3...
