We really seem to be going for production line in Turkiye. This would be great for both companies. Also we might get to be able to customize Embraer aircraft more easily with the agreements and build the aircraft we want.(Like MPA, AWACS, test aircrafts etc) Might even leads to joint production...

FNSS PARS Alpha air defence concept might been materialized.

If both vehicles uses the same engine and common parts(within reasonable percentage commonality), it will be logistically attractive for Poland as well. They could go for Alpar after that.

If we can return to the production and maintenance ecosystem, it will be worth it even if we can't use them as we like. We can use F35 to compare Kaan and increase its capabilities.(like using F35 capabilities as a benchmark) In the meantime we will make money through maintenance and part...

Yes if they want to use their own budgets. If they want to use EU funds(which most of the EU countries prefers) they are practically limited to EU countries for procurement.

The army probably wants 1,000 tanks, that's for sure. But I think that after the first batch of 250 Altay tanks, the rest of the orders will wait for the Altay T3 (or will be decided after the T3 roadmap becomes clearer). In the meantime, they seem to want to make do with Altay and upgraded tanks.

Hopefully we start apply this package to tanks now. I am not gonna get my hopes up until I see the upgraded tanks on the field.(I will not even bother with the test site footage as well)

https://www.twz.com/air/cracks-in-kc-46-pegusus-tankers-halt-all-deliveries I really wonder how the hell Boeing managed to do that? As far as I know, B767 has an very reliable airframe. They were screwing up their new projects but they are screwing up their old aircrafts as well. (Putting...

Well there is a posibility that news of 5 aircraft acquisition was a part of the negotiation. Maybe that the deal is more to our liking , the number is up to 12 again.

When you put it like that, it seems like a strategy but I don't think it is. There are individuals within CHP(you can add Yankı Bağcıoğlu as well and now Cemal Enginyurt), that is correct but as a party CHP doesn't look like has any problem with the process. This is Özgür Özel's tweet today,

I wouldn't expect much from CHP. Only İYİ and Zafer seems to be opposing this.(Within the parties with considerable voter base)

Or, Pkk dissolves itself, the remaining terrorist joins the YPG (as they are already doing) which we couldn't get other countries to recognize as a terrorist organization.(We've somewhat made them accept the link between the two but what will happen after Pkk dissolves and Ypg remains?) We've...

In this case, it wouldn't hurt us to go a little bit faster though.

https://www.bmc.com.tr/haberler/bmc-ve-ssb-arasinda-altug-8x8-zirhli-muharebe-araci-icin-sozlesme-imzalandi Well we are in a different position so I am not actually bothered with operating 2 types of the same vehicle. (I would be more happy replacing BMC with Otokar though)

So can we consider main piece of the pie has been given to BMC, considering the APC variant is the variant that will be most produced? Brilliant Also did BMC reveal the tracked vehicle yet? Hopefully. -- Checking the BMC website, they secured the order of 29 8X8 Altug with 35mm turret...

Even with Eurofighter you would be pushing the limits as it is the maximum altitude and not the operational altitude.

Only the barrell replaced on the Gaziantep. I don't know what entails with the barrel replacement(I thought they just replaced the barrels but it might be more complicated than that) but considering the unique gun position on the Gabya's, I am not sure if full replacement of the gun is possible.

Ah, civilian certificate. I didn't think of that. Now this makes sense.

Did they deliver the previous helicopters without cold weather tests? How many other tests still needs to be done?

When they try to prove Qaher 313 is flying, they were released a video and it looks like that it was an rc plane that look like Qaher. There is a good chance that they are still using that.(Or improved that model) I think that was the video.
