He can't guarantee that, and I doubt engines are part of that cost.

And because they are a private company. They either need to be state owned or publicly traded to get in to the list. Baykar is neither.

South American landing continues. Apparently a T-625 for El Salvadorian Ministry of Health(which would be the first export success) and Anka-S. Also mentions a possible Ares 53 OPV sale. https://www.defensa.com/centro-america/fuerza-armada-salvador-moderniza-sofisticados-sistemas-turcos They...

Yup. Mentioned it last month. This is just some back and forth between the two, but every meter they separate, is a meter more us for us to operate in. - Armenians and Israelis are hardly friends, from a statist perspective and from diaspora perspective.

Ecuador Army received 20 Otokar Cobra IIs. They look kinda barebones with open turrets, which should be more than adequate for their needs.

On another episode of Turkish Airlines getting into places noone dares to, looks like after Nigerien coupists closed the airspace to foreign aircraft, an Istanbul Cameroon flight is currently above Niger. Looks like it's about to come out through Nigeria...

Yup, If i know this country, we would be searching for a second, bigger testbed few years later. Also not sure about the part us knowing the ins and outs of the platform with the experience we got from HavaSoj will cut it for a testbed, where we will need to modify the nose section, possibly put...

Yes, I was alluding to Sünnetçi's statements on Kaner's last program. Not the platform I had in mind, but still about 3 times better than using an F-16 or Akıncı.

When did a contract deadline ever stop us, truly? It'll be ready when it's ready. Which is probably between 2025 and 2029. Looks like they are genuinely, actively considering buying a testbed aircraft. Maybe if they allocate the budget in the next 18 months, we will see some results 18 months...

They used to be.

I think it's too early to call this that and doubt this can be taken for that. Bazoum government had good relations with Turkey. And we really don't like coups. Expecting any other stance from Turkish MFA is absurd tbh. Turkey I think somehow likes French influence waning, but is not happy...

Turkish MFA press release.

I just love Supacat so much. Jack of all trades kinda platform.

That used to be case until 2014. Russia claims Crimea EEZ as its own, something we disagree on. According to Russian view, Turkey and Ukraine are no longer sea neighbors. This doesn't change much re our own EEZ, but is a problem.

US failed to not allow China emerge as a power and will also fail at not allowing India. And that's not our problem. Security of Caucasus and Turkey is our problem. India slowly and steadily interfering in it is a problem.

As India's footprint grows, they will have more leeway to act and they no longer desperately need Israel's advanced hardware, they can now just buy it from US. There are plenty of things Israel can't do anything against. India getting its nose into the Caucasus is not good.

Neither Ukraine nor Russia would even look funny to any discovery Turkey makes on its own EEZ.

Enemy doesn't sleep. You can discount the new weapons they get. Will you say the same when they get Indian made SAMs they made with Israeli support? Azerbaijan needs to keep the qualitative and quantitative edge it has and end this war with the peace we need, by all means.

And even Turkish :) Thanks 37058444 for the effort tho.
