A New Agreement from DEARSAN! - Dearsan

Our shipyard Dearsan Shipyard and the Ministry of Transport of Tanzania have signed a contract covering:

dearsan.com

Our shipyard Dearsan Shipyard has signed a contract with Tanzanian Ministry of Transport for:

• A 3000 DWT Wagon Ferry (MWANZA)
• A 3500 DWT Wagon Ferry (KİGOMA)
• Along with a shipyard construction project with a 5000-ton lifting capacity slipway.

We wish these agreements to be beneficial for our country.

Not a direct defence industry product related export. But building a shipyards enables the possibility.

Tanzania is willing to upgrade its Navy, and guess who might seal another deal for a dozen of New Type Patrol Boat.

Azerbaijan buys Barak MX air defence system from Israel​

Azerbaijan has decided to purchase additional Israeli-made Barak MX air defence systems from Israel in a USD 1.2 billion deal.

As reported by Defence Industry Europe some months ago, Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI) performed a successful demonstration of the Barak MX systems in Azerbaijan.

Israel is a major supplier of defence systems to Azerbaijan. These were heavily used in the conflict with Armenia, which has recently intensified.

According to the official Azeri report, the test included a multi-launch of the interceptor of the different versions of this very advanced system.

The sources added that some versions of the IAI air defence system have been operational in Azerbaijan for some years, but the recent demonstration included some of the latest upgraded versions.

The Israeli air defence system has, in recent years, become a very popular item in the shopping lists of countries that face threats from neighbouring enemies.

Barak MX is a modular air defence system and is designed to address missile and aircraft threats. It operates both on marine platforms and land and belongs to the Barak missile family.

The Barak MX system is capable of simple integration with any existing legacy or new sensors.

The Barak MX Land Deployable system is capable of simple integration with any existing legacy or new sensors.

All Barak MX Land Deployable components (BMC, Launchers with interceptors, and Radars) can be operated from permanent infrastructure or can be truck-mounted and deployed to temporal operational sites.

According to IAI, Barak MX’s innovative, software-based modular approach offers exceptional flexibility in operation and power build-up and ensures simple adaptation to future threats, making it one of the most powerful, all-weather, day-and-night solutions for today’s most challenging threats.

That is a massive order folks. (If all of it for air defence purchase only) Azerbaijan is buying at least 4 batteries of Barak 8 MX. (Possibly 5x. Previously, Morocco ordered 2x batteries for $500 millions)

Who else wished it was SIPER?

I think Azerbaijan already established Training and support Infrastructure for Israeli Air Defence Systems, they use also Barak 8 and shot down Iskander with this System.

IAI did not specify the customer so I don't know where that website brought their sources from. The value of the deal between IAI, and Morocco was not specified. The same applies to the cost per battery. However, we know from deals from the past that the cost of each battery would be somewhere between 100-250 million USD.

The source is Arie Egozi, who is a reputable defence industry reporter from Israel.

2 months ago he reported about the demonstration of Barak MX in Azerbaijan, adding that it would lead to a contract soon:

“The recent demonstration of the Israel Aerospace Industries' (IAI) Barak MX air defence system in Azerbaijan will soon result in additional orders for this advanced air defence system, according to Israeli sources.”

Of course IAI did not specify the customer, as is the case with contracts involving Azerbaijan.

Back in 2012, IAI announced a $1.6 billion contract with an “unnamed country”. Weeks later it was revealed to be Azerbaijan:

That would make sense, everybody these days wants domestic industry participation in big contracts.

 

[boredaf]

That would make sense, everybody these days wants domestic industry participation in big contracts.

Saudi Arabia is also desperately trying to diversify their industry away from oil for some time now.

 

[Oublious]

That would make sense, everybody these days wants domestic industry participation in big contracts.

I will not make differences, they made a deal with China in 2017, 6 years later nothing. They made additional deal with Turkish companies, will we make differences? Time will tell us, but i don't expect much .

Time will tell us, but i don't expect much .

They're probably going to send every single akinci they make straight on top of the Houthis, and practically gift them.
Tarnishing our good image in the process. :/

KSA military do be like that.

"KSA military" then teach them how!
service sustainability & feedback to improve "like patriot in gulf war & now" is as effective as image especially for low-budget countries which happen to be the largest share from all drone operators & the most important factor in success of sales

Teaching an army to use the weapon won't matter much if that army uses that weapon to do dumb shit.

Brazil is not Turkish UAV user yet.

It is dubious but I like to keep it there as there were signs like pictures of officials holding scale models. Highly likely to come true IMO.

 

[TheInsider]

The new president of Brazil is friendly to Turkiye and Erdogan so a deal might be reached if not it is already in motion.
