I hope they come with aselsan CATS not the canadian one , if not then either the aselsan cats are really bad or baykar didn't do a proper PR for his country product .

and yes am wondering , why didn't turkey refuse the request from morocco to use the canadian parts as response to canada embargo but only use turkish made parts ?

1. we dont know what they got.
2. maybe the contract was signed long before CATS was ready.

Turkey need to be serious with these Egyptians

Egypt requests the intervention of America and European countries to stop Turkey's sale of armed drones to Ethiopia

Two Egyptian security sources said Cairo had asked the United States and some European nations to help it freeze any deal. A third Egyptian source said any agreement would have to be raised and clarified in talks between Cairo and Ankara as they try to repair ties

Jelaousy, they can do nothing more. They had their chance for deeper ties to "prevent" such deals, now lets the bussiness talk.

maybe . but am sure morocco wont use the canadian CATS because it might occur to them that canada might ban support for the moroccoian tb2 incase they used it in the western sahara , the same way canada did to turkey during karabag war .

Kaplan is one sexy tank that would supplement MBTs and IFVs along with APC's.

Turkey has lots of old tanks I think the Kaplan easily surpasses them but it wont fill the MBT role as that is for the Altay.

Medium and Light tanks making a comeback is a great thing in general for tanks as they can do roles while the heavy fighting is for the MBT role.

For heavy tank fans sorry heavy tanks are good as dead due to them being too heavy, complex and expensive a lot of their roles have already been fulfilled due to MBTs.

I think technology played a role in the obsolence of heavy tanks. Your MBTs and Medium tanks can be equipped with the latest tech. Heavy tanks also stand no chance against a Atgm.

This project was in 2016, they didn't participate because they thought it was risky. Shall we finish the product and share technology? Are we "Aş Evi"?
TUrkish products have proven themselves in the meantime. They were trying to lure Baykar away from building facility in ukraine.

I guess you don't understand? I'm not talking about sales, will they find a fool who will supply technology in a complex product such as an air defense system and wait for them to prove themselves?
