We of course don't know anything about specifics except for "9 variants". I'm thinking it will include an ATGM carrier and the basic variant may come with an RCWS, so turrets will make up bulk of the cost. Otokar have been trying to expand into Europe tho and if they break even, it's a big win...
It is. It's not a fleet replenishment ship but a more simpler fuel carrier between ships, docks etc. One of the silent heroes of logistics, they don't even get proper names but just "Fuel-3".
Turkish Navy's new replenishment ship project's 3rd ship Yakıt3 is going on its first sea trial. Built at Özata Shipyard in partnership with Özata and Desan Shipyards. Yakıt3 can carry 200 tonnes of fuel oil and 39 tonnes of fresh water.
New 556 million $ deal with Turkish armed forces. Unlike last time, no info about specifics, not even which branch. I'm thinking it's radars.
"A contract with a value of USD 556.500.000,- regarding the supply of military equipment needed by the Turkish Armed Forces has been signed between...
Otokar seems to be only entrant left! If they can sign this, i believe it will be the single biggest armored vehicle export to date. Joint production in Romania is mentioned, which of course makes sense for a deal this big. Romania would be the biggest user of Cobra II.
Per the piece user...
Most military "fans" don't enlist in US.
For an army the size of US, they need door breachers as well as tiny sized engineering grads to work on their nuclear reactors, like this tiny girl with her huge glasses.
When you manage to integrate women, you open up another pool of candidates...
FM Hakan Fidan: Turkey plans to cut the PKK/YPG transit between Iraq and Syria with the operation in the summer.
We will make the border security between Iraq and Syria possible and end the passage of the terrorist organization PKK.
Hmmm
Designing a flying wing for lower RCS and lower drag coefficient and then redesigning it to go supersonic is like building a truck and putting a jet engine on the back, it looks cool, but it's very much just dumb and doesn't make any sense apart from clout.
It's interesting to me that we received info about the tests they run, but all the photos are old ones. We haven't received a new test photo or footage since the high altitude tests in the summer.
