CGI of Damen's Multi-Purpose ship designed for the Portuguese Navy. One of the main design philosophies appears to be USV/UUV operations. NRP D. João II, also known as the Multifunctional Naval Platform, will be a multipurpose ship for the Portuguese Navy, capable of carrying out surveillance...

Turkiye is about to reach the capability to produce its own military air force and navy. We will no longer buy 200 airplanes and 50,000 bombs from anyone, and our frigates will no longer be produced in other countries. One by one, systems are moving from prototypes to mass-produced systems. Both...

If you read what I wrote above more carefully, you will understand that it is meaningless to make this complaint to me because unless the waste in institutions is prevented, such savings efforts will somehow become political material and people will criticize, and I say the same thing. Yes, the...

Radical decisions need to be made in the supply of the military systems. When you no longer have deterrence, when you continue your life as a barrier to prevent any kind of risk that would threaten their national security no matter what is done to you, when their intelligence agency is openly...

I don't know if this is the right topic, but I wanted to share this: It sounds a bit demogogic at first, but please listen patiently to the end: Pamukoğlu suggests re-establishing the 6th Army in Diyarbakır, which was established in the late 19th century and defended Iraq in the Great War. He...

What I doubt is not this man's technical qualification, it is already obvious that he does not have it. I have doubts about something else but I cannot write about it here openly.

I have the same emotional attachment to the CN-235. However, when I think about some of the logistics lines that the air force needs to fly non-stop and without resupply today and in the next 50 years, I draw a rough ruler and realize that the smallest aircraft currently in service that can fly...

I honestly don't think that the Air Force will be satisfied with such limited capacity in the tactical air cargo fleet in the next generation after 235s. There may be a joint development with a country or there may be an under-license production, but as a precedent, I believe that C-27J can be...

Tuzla boats(with ASW rockets), was a very good optimization for port and coastal safety, which are the main mission types of this patrol boats. For actual ASW warfare in inland waters, navy designed ADA class. What if Tuzla boats have more installed power and more powerful systems; if we think...

IMO, Qatar's EFs are hardly second-hand. They received their first jet in 2022 and as far as I know, full operational capability has not yet been declared. Deliveries have not been completed anyway. In fact, the Qatari Air Force has purchased more aircraft than its capacity, almost like filling...

Wait a minute, he talking about repackaging the TS1400 and turning it into a turboprop. Since the BAYKAR CTO is talking about they currently developing a heavier, possible HALE platform, the main specs of this prop engine should be finalized and at an advanced stage. Baykar's current situation...

Have we discussed this in any thread, I looked a bit but I couldn't find it? The reflex of SoloTurk's pilot is almost superhuman. At that angle and proximity, with the flight control computer malfunctioning, it was a great skill to prevent the accident. Aircraft narrowly saved from crashing in...

Congratulations on “the 15th Anniversary of the Nakhchivan Agreement on the establishment of the Organization of Turkic States” and “3 October – Turkic States Cooperation Day!”

Welcome to the invisible side of the Iceberg. -SANs' contractors! Under this 'subcontractors' group, there are hundreds of large and small engineering companies and a significant number of heavy industry facilities. The industrial infrastructure in the country is already known to almost everyone...

This is the Arrows' primary, maybe only mission, which is why I emphasized it. But if we look all theater you are right and moreover, based on the awareness in the US media during the day, it can probably be argued that the US air force was also on alert. Despite this, I think it is a very...

Since the Arrows intercept at longer ranges, it is difficult to tell how visually engaged they are, but against a ballistic missile trajectory that is estimated to come from about 600-800 km as the crow flies, such saturation of Israeli base areas with enemy fire is a serious questioning mark of...

In Turkish there is a saying; I am not familiar with the generation that does not understand irony.

Regarding Iran's legitimate(!) attack, the NYT posted hours ago almost a list of places to hit. In any case, the Iranian attack was not a sudden attack at any stage and part of the game was played as a war of declarations. I have the impression that Iran was very careful in adjusting the dosage...

It is a good exchange of ideas for frigates that may have a very limited number of cells, I follow it with interest. On the other hand, even if we consider that only the Hisar-D B2 will be quadpack capable as the system to be replacing ESSM and everything else will be loaded as a single missile...

Even more interesting is the Siper Product-3 missile, which we'll probably see its design in 2025. Press specs on the Product-2 suggest that it could almost be the equivalent of the SM-6. With the third batch of missiles, I wonder if efforts will expand to ICBM interception? I mean, you know...
