Yup, seems there's an issue with plugins. I meant this graphic Defence Turk shared. It's not official, but if they took Siper's 1+1 delivery timeline as standard, it would mean 11 systems.

HvKK to probably use Hisar A+/O together in a single battery? https://x.com/Fatih_MehmetK/status/1736052454024732828 And going by the graphic, which is based on the graphic from the signature ceremony, TAF to induct 9 Hisar and 2 Siper batteries into the service in the next 6 years...

I mean, there's not much you can do about this. TN has its own ideas in its own future. MSB has the job of managing the budget they are allocated fully and to the best of its capabilities for all branches. SSB has the mission of maximizing defence sector participation and needs so that it can...

Wording is interesting. It's of course unofficial in its tone so maybe not smart to take a meaning from there but he says "a larger Anadolu" and "an aircraft carrier". Length itself doesn't mean much. America Class also come about at 260 meters. Kaga is about 250. Wish we knew about specifics...

Semi related. Polish are thinking about a SPAAG based on K9 hull.

Simply put, this is the case. This can be many things, from all over the world. It's impossible to ascertain which is which, what makes these figures. But almost four fifth's of Aselsan's workshare is in euros. Siper, nor Hisar, can exist without foreign parts. A system this complex cannot be...

Was gonna say, looked Syrian. Hamas also doesn't have TOWs. - Israeli foray into Lebanon in near future as a "preemptive strike"?

That's what i meant by other stuff. If such things happen, it won't be announced by TK.

TK announces the much awaited big Airbus purchase for 355 aircraft. In line with the growth targets set out in the Strategic Plan covering the years 2023-2033, the Incorporation continues to negotiate with aircraft and engine manufacturers. In this context, our Board of Directors - 60 A350-900...

Hisar and Siper serial production agreement finally signed! Aselsan's total share is about 580 million euros. Within the scope of Air Defense Systems, the Presidency of the Presidency of Defense Industries and ASELSAN signed a contract and contract amendment amounting to EUR 428,538,878.16 and...

In that vein, I wish we could have some idea on what percentage of internal security UCAV sorties do the drones land with their munitions still on their pylons. Carrying live ammo is always a gamble.

Chinese People's Liberation Army Daily newspaper: Türkiye attempts coordinated operations with drones and unmanned boats Not long ago, the Turkish Ministry of Defense announced that it had carried out the world’s first joint operation of unmanned surface ships and drones. It is reported that...

We lost what, 20 to 30 percent of our flyers in a year in 2016? Yes, every lost pilot is a monumental loss in experience as well as time and money in the drain. No one doubts that. We can't replace the aircraft we lose. In a time of war, we will lose pilots with their aircraft. Point of...

Yup, don't recall a single instance of Zaslon during the war.

Joint Pakistani-Baykar-Roketsan kamikaze munition over in Ukraine?

In a war scenario where we lose 100-500 men a day, we are bound to lose some pilots as well, that's why we have CSAR birds. It's not about the inherent value of the human life, plain and simple, they will die.

Why? Better UAE than Israel, no? Someone will HAVE to supply them at the end :D

I'm going to tattoo A T T R I T A B I L I T Y on my arm. Ukraine's invasion showed us. Tech alone doesn't cut it. If we are to have wars in this century, our cutting edge weapons need to be cheap. If an advanced Kızılelma costs 50 million apiece, it's not very different than losing an F-16 in war.

Well, we did. Naval News piece on Hai Kun did mention Taiwanese creating a local substitute. "Originally, the IDS would feature a license-produced ZOKA Torpedo Countermeasure System from ASELSAN, a Turkish defense contractor; however, as the Turkish government was tied by political factors...

Otokar just announced a 136 million $ sale of 4x4 armored vehicles to an unnamed country. Cobra 2 is riding high this year. https://www.kap.org.tr/tr/Bildirim/1225911
