Round two. Group calling itself "1000 Youths for Palestine" protesting against Azerbaijan in Azerbaijani consulate in Istanbul.

That point would be "we're hurt." This region has enough men willing to die for their ideologies or religions. An outsized US response would only lead to more retaliations from the other side against GCC, against Israel, against Turkey and against US soldiers stationed all over the region. As we...

It has its own government, laws and budget which it gives aid to UN orgs from. UK gov can cut off aid, while Scot gov may not. Scotland being its own country is 1 referandum away anyhow.

This was a lone wolf typo of attack where two men undertook the attack following ISIS fatwa on targeting non muslims all over the region. It wasn't planned or ordered by ISIS command structure, but they did announce it. Attackers would have filmed a video before the attack, announcing their...

Video of it looked like it was a singular murder, but ISIS claimed responsibility, now from their Turkish publication.

Per the map yes, but, gets interesting. Jordanians are getting iffy.

They mention the base being in Jordan, so not Al Tanf, weird. Base in Rukban that was hit.

Now that the Canadian embargo lifted, hopefully HavaSOJ will move on faster.

They aren't. We asked for these, and likely few others they didn't want to sell us so they're not in here. When they really want to fuck with our development, they have much bigger options that would stop most of our development projects on its tracks. Thankfully they haven't yet done most of...

Or C7 :D. C5 and C7 I believe are no longer in production, but depending on the deal, maybe they give C7s from USAF stock.

C8 still lacks the two way datalink and much greater range, no? There are at least 4 120D users outside of US, important US allies like UK, Norway, Canada and Australia. I'm interested to see if the future Greek package will include D.

what Turkey said doesn't really matter when it'll be the same congress that will be overlooking the sale and transfer. Correct me if I'm wrong, they passed an amendment to the budget last year forcing the State Dept to do exactly what Rodeo posted. This is not over until all aircraft are...

Yup. This is in no way over. And whether ours is delayed or not, Greece is still getting their new F-35s on schedule.

We are not the first to implement it at all tbh. But it is a growing trend for the last 5 or so years. Istif is light on VLS, but i'm pretty happy with the ASM loadout.

It does say an initial batch and planned number is higher. If they are going to modernize the ships in batches, which is smarter, it makes sense. And 4x2 AShMs is still pretty standard over the world so that would mean 5 ships and 5 spares for tests. Jane's is usually pretty solid, one of the...

No way to know unless Indonesia shares the deal cost for this purchase and then we can surmise some numbers.

And it's official. "An initial batch" of 45 Atmacas ordered by Indonesian Navy. https://www.janes.com/defence-news/news-detail/indonesia-awards-contract-for-45-atmaca-anti-ship-missile-rounds Roketsan really found a footing in the SEA market. And this is now the 3rd confirmed Roketsan sale to...

Targeted PUK controlled oil fields? Ohhh, hopefully it was the Belgian air force.

Oh shit, i hadn't noticed the radome on top. 036 was indeed one of the Milkar birds. This is very bad news for our miniscule airborne EW capability. https://www.airhistory.net/photo/148437/69-036

"On July 20, 1974, in the first sortie to Cyprus, aircraft number 036 was the column leader. Its commander was retired pilot general Safter Necioğlu, then a brigadier general. In the 2nd sortie, this aircraft was wounded by a 12.7mm turret and became a Cyprus veteran. I hope it ends up in a museum."
