Old Bey Class LSTs are ancient, they are goners. Osmangazi will probably stay. Just much needed modernization of the amphibious fleet. LCT buildup is the same, there's no real increase in numbers; just replacing the old ones usually on a one by one basis. Increasing capability while keeping the...

"More interesting is the accommodation number: 2,500 personnel is much higher than the 800 crew figure that was mentioned earlier. This likely reflects the total accommodation capacity including the air wing personnel, staff, and other embarked forces, not just the ship’s company." 2500...

Apart from air force chief's visit to Portugal last month, nothing.

Great video. But we should remember that as of June 2026, we only have 10 active large tactical airlifters in service and C-130s are still out.

A new reg T625 was seen for the air force birthday celebrations, TUS-H016. Per the livery, it's probably one of the prototypes updated to test new equipment. Yıldırım adds MWS pedestal is seen. Possibly for air force SAR duties, but there's no information yet.

Alp-310G should have an instrumented max range up to 700-800, effective range against large targets up to 450kms.

We did not provide MANPADS to any non state group.

What really matters in that tweet is that Akya and Atmaca will finally be only operated only by navy personnell, without Roketsan staff not being present. It means they are wholly in use and that their development phase for these batches are concluded. They are now products. Unsure about Hisar-D...

We never had Igla in service. 65 of anything is also probably higher than what we ever captured from PKK. Maybe coupled with what's retrieved from Syria and caught arms dealers etc.

I'd like to see something official. Many Czech firms, first of which CSG did undertake many contracts as subcontractors, even as main contractors for Roketsan. It's possible that this was a reexport or something like that.

This week's weekly presser by MSB was done at Çiğli, where Hürkuş were supposedly sent last year. No mention of it in the presser and they instead showed a KT-1 as a backdrop. Failure of a program honestly...

Syria hasn't been a threat since 80s. The idea that YPG was a vice against Baath Syria is absurd; it never was.

This have layers. Re US; buying an aircraft from US needs congressional approval; so acceptance of the near entirety of American political system. An aircraft with ITAR components, so an aircraft that's under American export restrictions require US State Dept approval, so an acceptance of the...

It's very much possible that he's talking re simulations they made. Suffice to say they've made thousands of simulations to date. TF35K is not yet lit.

Commando training for 3rd batch Malian and Nigerien troops.

Not at all. KF-21 have tens of subsystems sourced from US and other countries. A Turkish user got triggered and made a massive list last year on twitter. I'm sure many of this will be nationalized in time, but many others simply won't be as that requires gutting the aircraft and making a new...

That should be a trailing cone for further testing.

Finally!

This is what some Brit pundits have been saying today indeed, but British procurement and development issues are pretty much endemic. Would you be surprised? I wouldn't. But we need to say, this is not UK stopping development or anything like that; it's them confirming they are not expecting...

One idea could be that this is like a workaround FMS. These vehicles are delivered to TSK and then will be delivered to partner nations in Africa etc. Aside from the very non idea camo, as stated Hızır is not a TSK standard vehicle.
