TF6000 was always touted as an engine for the UCAVs. Per Erdogan's remarks from last year, we know that TF6000 will be in production in 5 years. We managed the hard, now harder part starts.

"4 Ada-class Corvettes in Inventory (to be overhauled in the near future for air defense capability)" Akbaba mentions Ada Class corvettes are to be retrofitted(?) with a new air defence system. Any ideas on what it is?

Coyote C-UAS promises very low cost and higher numbers being produced. SHORAD is now probably the most cutting edge portion of the air defence umbrella.

TF6000 First run!

MOU is already non binding. Hope it's true.

Gotta say, it was pretty underwhelming for Turkish MIC, except for the Dearsan sale. Waste of a fair.

It's also on the Portuguese tender. This has been going on for near a decade, horrible program so far and they probably don't have the money for Iris-T. Will be interesting.

Türkiye and Somalia signed an agreement to explore and develop oil and gas in Somali territories. This aims to utilize local resources for Somalia's benefit and bolster Türkiye's energy ties in the Horn of Africa.

Might be a bug, 44kts is too slow.

We've seen over the last 30 years that American way doesn't work with failure after failure.

Yup. Nothing has changed, though Greeks tried so hard and spent presumably millions to enact a change on actual policy. This doesn't mean anything on the ground, but is a confirmation of the failure of the Greek diplomacy in regards to territorial waters, airspace and EEZ in the region. They did...

Midlas: "In the future, work is also underway on land-based versions for base and port protection." https://www.aa.com.tr/tr/savunma-sanayisi/turk-donanmasi-milli-hava-savunma-yetenegi-icin-gun-sayiyor/3156682
