New Pars Alpha 8x8(I think it's the Pars X from few months back) is to be officially unveiled next month at WDS Riyadh 2024. Direct competitor to Boxer incoming?

They're gonna have to eventually, we can't move on medium size helicopters with Mi-17 engines. Apart from being wholly different than what we are building with TS1400, TV3 engine is also ancient. T929 and T925 is a dead end without local 2400+ hp engines.

Escalation via Saudi is one possible route they could take. And whether coalition would strike targets before they strike Saudi targets.

Yup, Dost Class is a nice little ship, no way this monster fits that hangar. Not sure if the helipad can even accommodate it.

HvKK procurement is a tad different. This is not the first time these missiles were tested, and i believe they were tested with live warheads before as well. In Idef 2023, first LRIP production was signed for 25 of each. I believe this test is part of the acceptance tests of this batch. If live...

New video on possible T925 models. We know that Forestry Service model is already coming and it's the first one shown here as well. As well as the air ambulance and offshore support version. And given MTOW is now 12 tons, instead of 11. This thing gains weight faster than me. At this point, I'm...

Türkiye, Romania, and Bulgaria Sign Memorandum Against the Mine Threat in the Black Sea "The expectations of our non-coastal allies to this organization are valuable, but this initiative will only be open to the ships of the three coastal ally countries. Contributions from other coastal...

BOZDOĞAN and GÖKDOĞAN Missiles Ready for Acceptance Tests Prof. Dr. Haluk Görgün, President of SSB: "The design verification tests of our Bozdoğan and Gökdoğan missiles have been completed. We will carry out our tests with warhead ammunition and offer them to the use of our Air Forces."

From a sailor's perspective where they plan 20-30 years ahead, I'd think medium would mean 15-20 years. I expect MilDen to be diesel electric with AIP as others, but after that...

I had thought the same thing 10 years ago so I know! :D

No, that's TAI's 12x FFAR rocket pod. Cirit is carried in insulated launchers of 2 or 4. Looking closer, Nigerian T129s are even more barebones than Filipino ones, no self defence equipment apart from the flare launchers and RWR receivers that I can see. Compared to a Filipino T129B And a...

Army and Air Force: Is it possible to learn this power?

Excerpt from "A REVIEW OF FRANCE'S NEW GENERATION BARRACUDA CLASS NUCLEAR-PROPELLED SUBMARINES (SSN)" in DzKK official gazette January 2024 issue "With the recent commissioning of the Akkuyu Nuclear Power Plant, Turkey will take its place among the countries using nuclear energy. Subsequently...

Reading translated news is always gamble. Reading translated opinion pieces without any context on twitter surely will lead you astray. I'm begging people, please always take these with few kilos of salt and always chase the actual piece. I'm trying to be lenient to Oğuzhan here, but it's hard...

Apparently this launcher was Vestel's own design. Maybe they sold it to Roketsan which was later sold to Bangladesh? Weird.

That's Anadolu, even with TB3s o_O

I totally forgot reading about this in the past, yup. The twin Cirit launcher is also something I'm seeing for the first time.

Italy to buy Roketsan's Cirit to be used on its Astore Tactical UCAVs. It's a purchase of 4 aircraft and 2 GCS so wouldn't expect something big but good news! If they like it, Cirit would also be a contender against APKWS for use on AW-249...

Suffice to say Anka-3 is still a long way away from FOC and even IOC. I wholly welcome the choice to give it to HvKK for extended tests tho so they can come up with a CONOPS. We also don't know anything re serial production, or if HvKK will even give orders for it.

Ability to speedily and stealthily carry 8 Tolun SDBs or 2 Mk-84 HGKs will always be important. I don't expect A2G role for Kaan to be put on the back burner.
