Isn't that Nigeria?

Yes.

There were Nigerian Budgets documents showing the Nigerian Military asking for money to pay for T-129 ATAK Helicopters.

Malaysian Fighter Contract 'Under Investigation' Over Favouring Korean FA-50 Over LCA Tejas & Other Jets -- Reports

FA-50: Anti-Corruption Commission has opened an investigation into irregularities in Malaysia's Light Combat Aircraft. LCA Tejas, JF-17, Hurjet

eurasiantimes.com

Haven't seen this be posted here. Looks like KAI is being investigated in the LCA Tender of Malaysia.

The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) appears to have opened an investigation into the suspected irregularities in Malaysia’s Light Combat Aircraft (LCA) competition after receiving a complaint from an unsuccessful bidder, according to reports.

Now we know why the results haven't been announced.
if irregularities are proven to be true it would mean KAI will be disqualified and either the tender will be redone or they will choose the second place.

Lets wait and see.

Something tells me that Poland is eyeing a more advanced system than the TB-2.

Probably no news then about remaining I-Class ships until early next year.

We love waisting time

They should introduce another board to approve certain development - R&D projects and relate SSIK mainly for acquisitions and contracts. It doesn't make sense to wait for SSIK to get an approval for development projects.

I don’t follow SSIK very closely like some seasoned veterans at the forum but somehow I kinda predicted this outcome because, IIRC, maybe except one or two out of last five or six resulted in real decisions let alone dramatic ones.
However, in my opinion, if they meet within the next couple months, this time they might make really big decisions As expected.

I wonder if India will leave Israel and buy weapons from us? Or, as it was said in the post above, is this a political maneuver to destabilize Pakistan and Türkiye?

I think if there is an opportunity, we should make an agreement with Pakistan and sell weapons to India. If you ask why, the weapons of India that we can control are the most suitable weapons for the security and peace of Pakistan.

If necessary, in the event of a crisis between Pakistan and India, the parties can be forced to give up the conflict by intervening in the arms.

I actually agree. within this situation at least.
perhaps we could use this situation to "back up" the Indian muslims in some way or another...

 

[TheInsider]

Hope SSIK happens before the new year. There are really a lot of topics that need decisions.

The "condition" names Kashmer. If this problem is solved. They can get anything they want.

TURKISH ETHIC,
as Haluk bayraktar famously said, 'we don't sell arms to both sides.'

Hopefully, you guys stick to this,
Otherwise, Selling weapons to PAK, India and BD all together doesn't sound like a very good deal!
( from our perspective )

And Hopefully, this never happens and Turkiye continue its role to become strategic partner with BD. Otherwise, we have to review and rethink future security cooperation dynamic between US and Turkiye.

And also, in my opinion, even though from a 'pure profit' perspective India seems to be the bigger market in the first glance, but there is nothing strategic to sell to India!
For example they have their own 4th and 5th gen fighter program, their own air to air, air to ground missile programs.
They already have their own medium and long air defence systems. Tanks, APCs.
They are building their own destroyer, carrier and nuclear submarines.
And more and more days goes by, they will become more and more domestic in these strategic areas for obvious reasons.

In my opinion, Only things that Turkey can effectively sell to India are drones of all class ( but it seems that, they are opting for 30 MQ9b with a 3 billion dollars package deal ) and maybe ATAK ii ( when it is ready however, they seems to choose apache ) and some smart guided ammunition for both drones and fighters as they have some gap in this particular domain ( things like HGK, KGK, Teber, miniature bomb, MAM series )

On the other hand, with PAK and specially with BD, there are range strategic possibilities in the future.
Like TFX obviously, but also, long range high altitude air defence system like SIPER should be on the agenda in the near future as we are already bringing hisar o.
There is also our navy's multi-billion dollars frigate program which is a good bid for Turkish companies.
And also, army is interested in basically everything, like ATGM, MANPAD, APCs, MARPS, ( as we already brought hundred of cobra from otokar )
In a nutshell, there is more opportunity with BD ( also and Pak ) given the lack of our own defence industries.

@Yasar @dBSPL and others!
what do you guys think ?

It’s all about the Benjamin’s at the moment bro. All jokes aside, I don’t think India will buy weapons from us in the near future the Indian ambassador just made a standard political statement that’s all

I wonder what happened with the fleet supply vessel deal. It had a multi-billion dollars figure.
