Gendarme's 20 T625s will come equipped with MWS, flare launchers, search light and door winch. Some will be equipped with AselFLIR-R400D. First 3 will be designated as T625J EDH and will be 250kgs heavier. Some issues with miniaturizing components? Maybe that's the reason for the delay...
Unlike in the VLS ones, ESSMs on Mk 29s that are used on US amphibs and carriers are not quadpacked. Mk29 only carries 8 ESSMs. Tho it being a neater packaging, nothing below the deck, is a good selling point. US doesn't like VLS on its carriers.
I really doubt Azerbaijan will be a user of Hürjet while it still uses the F404.
20 test flights is a lovely number. Talk of export is nice as well. What would be more great is if it was actually ordered for the trainer role by HvKK.
Adding the radar on top of the rotor on T129 requires a complete remodeling of the shaft and the rotor assembly. Costs probably outweigh the benefits for such a mature platform.
Iraq is even more cumbersome than Syria on the ground. Let's watch for a few days first. KDP buffer is fine and dandy but either we pull the non Iranian aligned Shias to us as well(or to be more neutral) or keep doing this back and forth for another decade.
Changing the topic from missile production, per Hisar for KKK, do anyone know what are the latest numbers to be procured or already procured for Hisar A and O?
Ex FM is now in Turkey.
Israeli twitter is going livid, lambasting Cohen for making the non official meeting public, calling it a "farce"
Stein however says it was very much coordinated with the Libyan government and Mangoush didn't go out of her way for the meet. That it wasn't a small non...
Not necessarily.
Invitation part was refuted:
"Pointing out that the claim that Turkey had asked for IMF support and that the delegation would come to the country for this reason was not true, the officials said that the Ministry had not made an official invitation to the delegation, but the...
ICC ruling is concluded. There was nothing we could do for KRG during that. Turkey can freely allow the flow of the oil, we choose not to for whatever the reason. Puck ends with us now. Iraq has been pushing for us to continue the flow after ICC ruling but didn't happen. What is surprising is...
Well it was Iraqi government that raised this with ICC. Now the flow of oil is just one cog piece of the general back and forth. I don't think gov is happy with just some payment, they'll push on PKK being recognized as a terror org.
Some Chadian rebels did a border incursion to Libya, reportedly lost and retreated, afterwhich Chadian army hit them with a double whammy. Chadians and LNA didn't fight.
