Isn't there a mainly German led NATO brigade in Lithuania acting as a tripwire force? Deploy it to the gap. What's the big worry here? Germans acting up again? Outside of deployments, looks like we're basically where were we a century ago. Yay for fascism. Because this is what this is. No ifs...

I wish we had more info about what it entails. HvKK indeed have 20 Cougars, 6 of them are tasked with CSAR. Will those more specialized ones get a more special package? What about the 20+ something Cougars in use with KKK? Re HvKK Cougars, I believe all 20 have nose mounted FLIR and ground...

Not yet in a cost friendly manner that is scalable, as far as I understand. So others will take half of the pie while doing the minimum work. And so continues our journey. We sure like Canadians when it comes to extracting our wealth for us.

Canadian Trillion Energy to work on the Cudi Gabar fields.

I want to whisper into BMC's ears, "why can't you be like him?" For a country that makes its own tanks, aircraft and ships, a family of capable off road and on road chassis and engine setup can't be that hard. Tatra is basically living its best life at this time, especially in the defence market.

Yes, but Indonesia did directly mention 4 systems and a total of 12 Ankas. So at least 4 GCS as well.

I think it's 4 systems with 3 Ankas each.

A 2 year delivery time, damn that's long.

I wonder if they actually mean something like a Mk-48 or the Mk-56 like the Danish use for the fixed variant of Göksur. Somewhat standardizing the launcher would save cost for exports.

They can always pay Wagner to come in, kill few thousand people in exchange for some mining rights and send the issue to a decade away until their kids grow up and become jihadists.

Delays happen and they are to be expected. But saying a helicopter that did not yet take its 15k feet test will be given to gendarme for use, is iffy.

I doubt Sungur is cheaper than Stinger, for both the launcher and the missile. And Stinger is ancient tech, it's not what we are supposed to compare Sungur to. Americans are gonna replace it soon as well.

True, but this is also a part of the thing. Some are believers, most aren't. Look how ANCA works with every single people with power in US. This is all soft power. A kind of soft power we can't dream to have. https://anca.org/congress/pete-sessions-594-114/

It's actually worse in Turkey, because even when the contracts are signed, most of the time the details aren't public.

When it comes to physics, if it sounds to good to be true, it is probably few guys just trying to get some money to build an autonomous sea mine just to make a nonsense taser gun few years later. What happened to WATTOZ anyway. "Orders from 60 countries!". Welp, their website is gone.

Pakistan is corrupt, also doesn't have money to spend and there have been allegations for years at this point that ISI is too close to the Chinese. How this plays out will depend on where Turkey situates itself in the next 30 years. Saudi angle, maybe.. I'm thinking everyone is aware of your...

They wouldn't. They also won't in the future if ROE doesn't change. They have a NATO army with clear lines of control and organization.

For one, only horrible quality publications and no name people from TRT made news about it and no defence industry media yet touched the subject with a 10 foot pole. And also it sounds dumb.

Do you remember when we gave TB2s(or Mx15s destined for them) destined for DzKK to Azerbaijan for the war effort and Canada embargoed us? This will be ANCA's next course of action for the foreseeable future. We wouldn't do such a thing. But we did in the past because it needed to be done...

Don't threaten me with a good time. :sneaky:
