Saturation is still king. Modern SPHs can send 3 shots to a target in 20+ seconds. Excalibur is an amazing weapon, and it's great to have it on your arsenal. The ability to build these guidance kits in bulk, for cheap is just as important as a capability and probably a greater tool in actual...

All three are guidance kits with tiny fins, attached to dumb munitions. Excalibur is tailor made for pinpoint strikes. It's more of a 155mm gun launched smart bomb, rather than a howitzer shell. It's not reasonable to expect a similar CEP from guidance kits. If we want an Excalibur like...

Arma 8x8 and Spike LR

Full name is still Turkish Aerospace Industries, TAI in English but they did do a small soft rebranding from TAI to just Turkish Aerospace. I'll keep calling it TAI i think.

M197 is certainly not rated for anti air role as it was devised. I'd like to see some actual fire tests with multiple high speed drones before I give my thoughts on it. We only saw one test, at night, firing at nothing.

UAE can't afford to be in a conflict with Iran where they will need the force projection capability of an LHD, they lack the hinterland.

If Azerbaijan is to be a part of the program, their universities will take part in the program in some way or another, like ours do. Russophile academicians should be kept under watchful eyes. Same with Anglophile ones too, of course.

2 Companies of 8x8 Arma mech infantry made up of total 6 sections with each section having a wheeled Alpar ATGM carrier in fire support role, while the second section has UGV IFVs, instead of three more Armas. Third company comes with 105mm armed Tulpar light tanks made up of 3 sections, each...

Something we don't usually see. Otokar's Arma based mechanized infantry battalion organization scheme. Heavy emphasis on Alpar UGV on not only on logistic and fire support role but also as part of fire units. I'm literally itching to learn anything new about YN-ZMA at this point.

That is a pretty sweet deal. Elbit maybe getting nearly half of what Hanwha gets out of this deal.

I think there never was a plan and it was nothing more than a product of a brainstorm session. Converting these aircraft and getting them certified after is hard work. I'm not as pessimist about KC-46. They finally did solve most of the kinks after more than a decade, finally. Unless we turn a...

Name of the Air to Air missile family project. Bozdoğan for WVR, Gökdoğan for BVR and the ramjet powered Gökhan. 25 missiles each of Bozdoğan and Gökdoğan will be produced and given to the air force by 2025.

We usually call them mankurts. This T-72 belonged to a Ukrainian Tatar crew.

MIT will have to work overtime to help Azerbaijan rid itself from Russian influence in universities and in the army. There's no other way to do this.

As well as Iraq, Kazakhstan and possibly Ethiopia.

One feels the need to say "how the turntables", or "how the mighty have fallen". Great cooperation. So many lessons to be learned from South African defence industry.

Finally, it's been almost 2 years. Maybe we will finally see more than 3 KMCs.

Happens all the time. From top of my head, Israeli and UAE FMs visited him this year.

Anyone have better, closer photos of this TF-2000 model?

This one totally flew under the radar. Although nothing is known yet, it's a huge undertaking and will become the backbone of our networked warfare concept on land, air and sea. Biggest news of IDEF 23 for me so far.
