TR Defence Exports & Updates

[CAN_TR]

I understand why some Turkish members would be unsatisfied with TN's fleet size, however one cannot overlook the fact that Türkiye is like a unsinkable aircraft carrier and Turkish air force can act a gaint naval aviation carrying Atmaca, SOM, Cakir and able to strike enemy ships thousand km away. All the rival navies from Russia Greece, to Israel and Egypt are well within strike range of Turkish air force and land based systems. When we take these factors into consideration, we can see that Turkish armed Force's joint capability to project power on the surrounding seas is quite balanced.

TN wants to modernize the whole fleet, establish "anti access / area denial" in the seas surrounding Türkiye and build up a fleet that can operate effectively in open seas far from the mainland. Our Defence Industry and Navy didn't worked that hard on countless projects only to fire SOM, CAKIR or ATMACA from aircrafts...

Ambitions are beyond the Black & Mediterranean Sea.

Amm…..did I say it did?
My point is, current fleet size and modernisation rate is not insufficient as it may partially appears to be, if we only look at TN's capabilities without factoring in Air force's capabilities and land based systems in context of Turkish geography.

Balkans is a powderkeg

A war will happen there.

You cant take the Balkans out of the Balkans they are as f ked up as the Middle East in general.

As an Balkaner i am very surprised why some of you put balkan as powderkeg ?!
I know the past history but alot of changes happened . Today in balkans never can happen big war because here its not the same as in past .
-Fisrt we dont have weapons to fight for a week .
In 1990 Albania had 1000 tanks and millions of other weapons but USA order to scrap them and today albania just have some armored cars and 4 helicopters to fight , i bet Mafia here has more weapons than albanian army . Same for macedonia , montenegro and bosnia.
- Aslo Serbia , croatia have lowertheir weapons , serbia just have 13000 soldiers what can u do with that?
Your clock has keept at past and u need to update . The only way to start war here is to be financed massively by others US vs China/Russia with money and arms . here countries are small and weak .
Chance to start a war today in our world are 1 - Korea 2- Taivan 3- israel - 4-East Europe , 5- N Africa 6- meddle East etc etc

Thanks for clarification But I think the reason we think so could be related to how many armed institutions they have. e.g. if Law enforcement is a pseudo military force and are armed as so, or trained as so. Then how would the numbers look ?

Not to mention paramilitary units of sorts that might be working (law enforcement or otherwise) in the countries around Balkans, who parades around on e.g. Serbian National day and such, armed.

These kind of behavior one way or another shows intention, which doesn't bode well.

Can anybody make a guess how many Otokar Arma 6x6 Estonian army is getting for 130 millions euro? 44x or maybe some other numbers? @Sanchez

On another note, I think one of the reason why they chose NMS 4x4 instead of Cobra ii is because NMS can carry 11 personal compared to 9 of Cobra ii. Hence, in this case you can unload a full squad while vehicle still contain a driver and a gunner. Which could be useful for fire support.

No clear numbers yet. Per unit price is very low. They will use them like battle taxis looks like and any special versions will be built on NMS and shared between two brigades. Expect up to 80-90 Armas to be bought for 2nd brigade if they follow the same organizational scheme as the 1st brigade.

It is insufficient,dont look at our neighborhoud but further away.
Compare it to France and the UK.

@Sanchez it is incredibly cost effective then.
FNSS sold its PARS II 8×8 to Malaysia for $2.9 millions each. (Local manufacturing)

 

[BalkanTurk90]

Yes really cheap knowing that German Puma cost 17 million
Problemaric Bradley cost 3 million
Stryker cost 5 million
Polish borsuk 6.6 million
But I think Turkiye sold them as Apc without Remote Controlled Weapon System or other heavy 30mm weapon .
If u see at estonian ceremony there is no remote weapon upon them and this lower the cost Aslo UAE produced itself and equip them with BMP-3 turret

Al Jasoor is expected to produce up to 700 Rabdan's for $661 million for United Arab Emirates Army. 400 Rabdan 8 X 8 IFV's delivered to UAE army on 2017. 300 being assembled/produced under licence in UAE. Some with BMP-3 turret in service.

Link Steph gives doesn’t have those unit numbers, thats why I’m asking. It only says that a total of around 230 vehicles will be procured.

There is no official confirmation for the 112 each number available on the internet so far.
