ASFAT gives 2 unmanned sea vehicles in its OPV offer to the Philippines. (Free) that OPV can carry. Also ToT

https://twitter.com/i/web/status/1519197096687013888

ASFAT never ceases to amaze me, there has been at least 3 different designs on that class, with similar roles and payload from different private companies yet they have gone for a new design, made in cooperation with god knows who that eventually leases such an amateur animation.

This video is a disgrace but nothing else.

VARD. Belongs to Fincantieri.

Imagine having a dozen OPV designs to choose from by Turkish firms and contracting an foreign firm to design a OPV for you.

Some of our companies really need a slap across the face behind closed doors.

This offer is nothing but an insult to the Turkish Industry.

You have firms like STM, Dearsan, Ares and you go off and run to the italians. Disgusting.

This alone would be reason enough for me to blacklist ASFAT from any new future tenders for the foreseeable future.

Is it for sure? i know some guys from TR was playing around with this design (likely to finalize it over a base design) but i have never figured out where it was acquired from, couldn't verify from existing design offices as well. Whomever has ever decided for this should be jailed for good, if it is a VARD design.

VARD Signs MOU with ASFAT in Turkey for Long Term Strategic Relationship - Vard Marine

Vard Marine Inc. is pleased to announce that an MOU has been signed with Askeri Fabrika ve Tersane İşletme A.Ş. (ASFAT) in Turkey to promote a strategic partnership where Vard Marine provides the design of a wide range of paramilitary vessels and ASFAT coordinates construction of select projects...

vardmarine.com

Should have seen it coming, i remember the MoU and i was being optimistic that it is merely to outsource certain engineering work packages to accelerate design process. No more words on the subject but someone is trying to dynamite a well-established capability of 20 years. Typical "trade" mindset without generating any added value.

"This MoU allows for the partnership of both companies, and providing PADC with the ability to perform Maintenance Repair and Overhaul (MRO) of aircraft in the Philippine Air Force's fleet, starting with helicopters like the UH-1 Huey, S-70i Black Hawk, and T129B ATAK attack helicopters.



These helicopter models are also in service with the Turkish Armed Forces, and ASFAT has the technology and skills to conduct MRO for these aircraft."

Tajikistan is a state founded on Samani heritage. The knowledge and awareness of Iranianism is widespread in its society. Aside from the conflict with Kyrgyzstan, they see the whole of Uzbekistan as Tajik lands occupied by the Turks.

AKP likes to help Enemies of the Turks everywhere disgusting.

Apart from supporting PKK tajiks see Turks as Invaders and occupiers why are we even giving these scums anything?

It is a good sign Tajikistan turned to Türkiye for weapons purchase while they could buy from competitors.

according to the media he is going around the Eid time period

what's really is eye catching that KSA want to minimize the rely on US arms and start it's own industry with help from other but not US or EU

I personally feel that the next might happen between the two :

1- big tb-2 deal with factory to be open in KSA

2- Anti air defense systems

3- naval platforms or revive the Ada class canceled deal

I am scrolled this page and never found Turkish source about the recent two big contract deals for land system between Indonesia and Turkey. First, Indonesia bought several regiment worth Khan ballistic Missiles system and second there is already signed order for hundreds BMC KIRPI and Vuran worth several hundred million US Dollar. The source i get is from the already technical meeting to handle the contract and for MRAP, already get to factory article testing phase before started to technical meeting for contract fulfillment
