Firstly wasn’t trakya scrapped in favour of mugem secondly for f35C you need a catapult system and I’m not sure if they would sell it to us.
Secondly F35A would make sense for air force especially if we could integrate our own weapons for SEAD missions since the stealth would be better than...
Also don’t believe Turkish media outlets most of the are just propaganda and are overcompensating if you like Turkish MIC go watch Kaner Kurt or Tolga Özbek.
There are official plans for twin engine Anka 3 but the design would be probably the same also tf35000 wouldn’t make sense because it wouldn’t need the ability to supercruise or have an afterburner.
This is a fan made concept like the ones above but a little more realistic.
I think land forces are going to have a problem in the future with the current procurement plan and the vehicles it wants to retire.
As we all know some 3000 vehicles are going to be acquired under YNHZA project both tracked and wheeled.
2000 are going to be wheeled FNSS pars alpha and sadly bmc...
I think with abm capacity they mean a hit to kill ability with block 3 against short range and medium range ballistic missile while block 2 is maybe only good enough against tactical ballistic missiles although we don’t know the exact capacity of block 3 maybe exoatmospheric intercept
Aside from tanks we have some much dire need for logistics vehicles and modern apcs in general and we don’t even need to buy everything new but can also upgrade what we have for pennies on the dollar for example the acv 15 vehicles modernisation I wouldn’t want that as an ifv but as an apc in...
So in the next 10-15 years ground forces hopefully will have:
150-160 M60TM
300-350 Leopard 2a4TM
300-500 Altay T1/2/3
100-150 M60MZK
That would be close to 800 Modern Tanks granted.
Wheeled Tanks are unlikely but maybe 105mm Tulpar with tracked IFV Tender.
Now we just need the 2000 Alphas in...
If this is for what they are doing than I understand why it’s taking so long but I thought they would just take Roketsan armour pack and ad the upgrade from Chilean leo2 upgrade
wasn't nurol makina even a runner up in the UK land vehicle tender for like 3 tausend vehicles i mean they even built a plant in the Uk. Also germany and france are unlikely to abandon eurodrone even if buying italian akincis would make more sense and perhaps akinci XL.
Would make sense eurofighter and Rafael production lines would to slow to handle the demand if European nations would switch it would take years and I doubt that anyone in Europe except maybe ukraine or Hungary would buy kaan
Sometimes you don’t need a a400 to do c130 job and replacing the c130 1 on 1 with a400 would be too expensive but 5 more a400 would be a good idea (would have wished that TAF had a couple c17 for heavy lifting)
