    Double Standards of Weapons Sales of Western Powers

    Not really. You can't both say "why is nobody is talking about things we do." and "why are they looking at things we do?" Writing a piece on Turkey's drones alone is perfectly valid. India angle here is only whataboutism and doesn't mean anything. It plays on the now a decade old is drones a...

    I wonder what will the target be. This is really the first live warhead exercise of Akya? Time indeed flew past. First test fire was 10 years ago.

    And even then, only alternative is Boeing. TK's big order was never a leverage.

    Military Operations Syria

    We were talking about Pakistanization the other day. If we don't find a way to solve HTS issue, Pakistanization of 2023 will happen. A Turkey that can't manage Idlib and Euphrates Shield area cannot possibly imagine to control east of Euphrates in the future.

    TR Missile & Smart Munition Programs

    In the same vein, M270s we have are near 30 year old now. There are only 12 of them and to my knowledge they were never raised to A1 level after 2005-6 update was started. Turkey originally wanted a much bigger fleet and was also interested in joint development with US. I believe we even wanted...

    They don't have a second atgm for a double tap. And Israelis bunch up on the bodies like amateurs without any armor cover whatsoever. I miss Syria footage.

    As far as I understand it, it's a single vehicle with Yener mine detection system. Still a milestone tho.

    TR Defence Exports & Updates

    I agree. They'll probably cut prices. And Otokar can be much more accommodating to light weight needs, like in the case of Estonia, Arma for Estonia is almost barebones. Unless Korea offers second hand K-21s, Tulpar has a chance i think. Let's see. Tulpar really needs a win at this point.

    TR Defence Exports & Updates

    ASCOD, K-21 and Tulpar are participating in Latvia's IFV tender. Should have bought some Otokar stocks damn.

    TR Navy Naval Programs

    Our modern FACs are on the heavier side of FACs. If i remember right, Lürssen classifies the Kılıç Class as a light corvette. At 40 knots, they are also not the fastest FAC out there. Maybe due to low number of main combatants we have, over the years, FACs were also used for patrol duties, even...

    We can't ascertain if that battery will be delivered to HvKK or even if it did if it will be used as a battery though. I can be wrong tho, that's happened plenty of times in the past. All the better if we are talking about 3 batteries total.

    TR Air Defence Programs

    As far as i understand, nope. 2026 for delivery, 2027 for option. Presumably 1+1. Which is where i came to the 11 number for total deliveries for Hisar+Siper, which is of course not official, just a guess. Watching the ceremony, For KKK, original Hisar deliveries are to be completed on 2025...
