You sleep better than me at night.

That's not how any of this worked, ever. TF6000 first ran in march 2024. Hopefully first article will be delivered to Baykar for tests in the next 6 months. So that's 3 years from first lighting to first installation. Not flight, installation.

Are you saying that our first 2 squadrons of Kaans will not be FOC? A high performance air combat capable KE with local afterburning engines also won't come before 2030s.

Another nice deal to an undisclosed country. It coincided with ADEX, but there was no talk of such a sale to Azerbaijan yesterday. Not too big of an amount and not too small, could be anyone really. "ASELSAN has signed a sales contract with a total value of EUR 488.5 million for the export of...

Akıncı S111 as seen in ADEX 2026.

Otokar announced a deal worth 1.47 billion USD to deliver various wheeled armored vehicles to an undisclosed country. Great sale, though we don't know to whom. It must be either Kazakhstan or possibly a gulf nation. Kuwait or finally the follow up Rabdan order from UAE?

As an integrator probably. Nice accounting trick too, Aselsan sells to Baykar, Baykar exports it, double the money. That's how big ones do business.

Little bit of everything. — TUSAŞ: 14 HÜRKUŞ-II trainer aircraft (first deliveries this year) . — ASELSAN: ALP-100 radar (MoU) . — BAYKAR: MIZRAK loitering munition . — BAYKAR: ANTIDOT system . — ROKETSAN: BARBAROS coastal defense system.

Looks like a G2G agreement was signed in ADEX today for the Hürkuş sale. Very nice. If the claimed enlargement of the fighter wings are to be believed, I expect no less than 12 trainers.

Every single Siper (B1 and B2) launch we have seen so far have been angled. B2 B1

Definitely, Aselsan should make a phone like that. A phone only for communication, shielded from outside. And given to tens of thousands of people. It should be government issued even. Offical business should only be handled on it. Fire mission orders should be sent over it if radio is not...

You can't just say this when government is the most pro US they have ever been since 2007. Israeli tech is US tech. They make laws and make others follow them, we have whims of people, not laws. Government saw to that, we no longer have laws.

It's not "foreign web services", it's everything. Most of your banking apps also won't work. Anyone dabbled in IT and fintech for a few months knows this. Web is Israeli. Anything you ever bought, shared online in the last 10 years has a crumb of info that travelled through an Israeli owned or...

It's not about investment. It's about what a "national" phone is. If we are interested in an encrypted phone that is a brick to outside, that is not a consumer product. A phone that is not part of the Israeli ecosystem is not a phone a regular person would use. We would still need tens of...

Iraqi army units and border guard are already in the north in multiple places.

Great news, finally! Altay of the skies, lots of tears both due to happiness and sadness on this program. Pundits had raised the bar again saying a "fleet of aircraft" was ready for a huge ceremony, but we only got two. This is of course not the first time we were let down by Hürkuş and the...

Same aircraft. That rearfacing boom is really out there. I believe that place usually stores the APU but behind it now is a huge housing.

OTO 76mm gun of an Ada Class corvette with a drone killmark during Seawolf-2026. Can't make up the letters below. They also tested the Smash-25 against air targets along Phalanx.

KF-21 makes best sense for their budget and capabilities. We will see plenty more of the same be repeated.

TAI has its hands full with T625 and its naval variant and T925 and its many variants. Turkish Navy already have its AH-1Ws so there's no great push for attack helicopters. T929 is on the backburner for years to come. T129 is a licensed product that would require many years of development to...
