Nah
If wagner already had the TB2 then they would have used it in Ukraine already
Russia and Wagner already have numerous wrecked TB2 samples in the home country that it doesnt make sense for them or the Turkish govt to sell such weapons to Russia through Mali
It is probably used for Mali to stop al-shabab-like terrorists in the country

Moreover, selling TB2 to Russia while selling TB2, BMC Kirpi, Otokar armored vehicles, EW stations, and TRG rocket launchers to Ukraine seems way too counterproductive especially considering the fact that the Baykar brothers have supported Ukraine on many occasions to the point of giving Ukraine free TB2s without cost

As always, tactical report is sharing bullshit news
As an advice, dont believe tactical reports that much since they remind me of TurkishFacts4u in twitter

Turkey will never sell drones to Egypt as long as its stance on the East Med remains unchanged.
You may be right in what you say about the credibility of the news source.However I don't think it's impossible.There is a kind of break in the foreign policy of the Gulf Arabs.In recent years, they have taken steps to develop good relations with the countries which they have tense relations.They may have decided that paying attention to certain Turkish sensitivities is smarter than clashing with Türkiye 🙄 . I think we will see a time when we have more moderate relations, where the blame is scapegoated for Erdoganism.

-Contract signed with Bangladesh.
-Possible contracts with another three unnamed countries.

Nice! Better question is, how many will TSK actually get? Don't remember seeing a number.

Good to know BD chose Boran over other options.

@Isa Khan you previously suspected it. But I swear I wasn't lying when i said suppliers countries in the previous tender was only UK and Italy.



But now this one is definitely a new tender or a direct G2G deal. Looks like we ditched our old suppliers in favour of Turkey.

if we buy 1 regiment initially and it performs well, I think Army will standardise Boran for infantry in the near future as a replacement for all of our old 105mm guns. (we have around 200 of those) And it would be even better if we can get a license production.

And I do believe there is a good chance for this to happen.

Specially, if we consider it in light of 2021 deal to open more modern domestic Turn-key production line for 105 mm and new production line for 155 mm artillery shells with Free Flowforming technology and computerized machinery from Turkish company REPKON.

This little beast would be particularly helpful in our mountainous South Eastern border with Myanmar as it is very light and easily portable. (Along with TB-2 and other tactical UAV/UACVs it would be a deadly combination.)

Congratulations! I hope it will come in good numbers.. Now next step would be to acquire a good number of 155 mm artillery howitzers.

Bangladesh's neutral policy is paying off in the long run.

They dont have to join any camp plus they can have relations with everybody this allows them weapon purchases without strings attached plus they are diversifying.

Nah
You still dont get it
The recent improvememt in relations with the gulf came with the condition that none will interfere eith the other's problems and this was proven with the fact that Saudi Arabia canceled its shared military exercise with Greece and even pulled out from the East Med forum that Greece is hosting

Egypt on the other hand has a lot of different circumstances. The current rulers of Egypt are the military which are heavily dependent on France amd the USA. Such a military which is hated by its own ppl, on the verge of the biggest economic catastrophe in its history, corruption etc... is barely living on the edge thx to Frande protecting Egypt from EU sanctions and USA providing some dollar loans through the IMF every now and then.

Therefore, Egypt cant afford to antagonise either of them. The survival of the top class is dependent on them and if they sided with Turkey; then Turkey pretty much solved the entire East Med drama to its favour. You think the french and americans will accept that

They were evaluating it for quite some time.As a deal has been reached, its more than likely that Boran will be the future standard 105mm gun of BA.BA artillery will be all turkish if their 155mm gun is also selected!

Kosovo is a narco- statelet whose citizens' biggest dream is to go to Switzerland or Germany. America's influence both there and in Albania is much bigger than that of Turkey. 5-6 drones will not help it in case of an invasion. Thankfully Serbia is also a small, weak impoverished state without any meaningful military capabilities so there won't a be a war there anytime soon.

U are right about kosovo-albania , both weak small and puppet to US that they do whatever US diplomats ask them to do but about serbia u are wrong .
Serbia is strong and indepedent country , while even pakistan iran or Turkiye were heavily under USA i influence . Serbia with jist 8 million people is indepedent i middle of Europe and work with both west and China Russia .
Aslo Serbia have great army for its size it has even drfence industry and some weapons ixports them . After Greece its most powerful nation on balkans and central europe .

It’ll take less than a day to conquer Serbia without outside interference
