Otokar is to offer Arma to Argentina, Ecuador and Colombia as well, nothing concrete so far. Loving this Latin expansion.

Chief of General Staff Metin GURAK participated as a guest in the parade in Bucharest for the national day of Romania. Turkish F-16s did a pass and Bayraktar TB-2 S was exhibited.

Maybe Romania will be next for Bayraktar TB-2.

Already ordered in april. It has a Romanian flag, probably their first delivery. It's getting harder to track it isn't it

They deployed them at Chottogram with Army aviation base, not in Dhaka.
Meaning these TB-2s are not only for show, they may see combat. This is gonna have devastating effect on terrorists. (if they dare to start their activity again)

TB-2 is better optimised for low intensity COIN than attack helicopters.

Aselsan will present to the Argentine Navy a project to modernize the MEKO 360 "destroyers"​

"Various sources confirmed to Zona Militar that the Turkish company's proposal will include some of the aspects that were addressed for the upgrade of the MEKO 200TN / Barbaros frigates operated by the Turkish Navy."
"The modernization project is advancing due to the interest of Aselsan, an initiative that occurred within the framework of a series of offers made by the Turkish defense industry to the Argentine Armed Forces."

Aselsan presentará a la Armada Argentina un proyecto de modernización de los destructores MEKO 360

La compañía Aselsan se encuentra trabajando en un proyecto de modernización de los destructores MEKO 360, iniciativa que se presentará ante la Armada

Argentina currently operates 3 Meko 360 frigates, all built in early 80s. 4th ship is due to be scrapped due to high cost of repairs after she hit a whale a decade ago. Source mentions propulsion issues in from the 4th ship's repair, which makes me think the class is also is in an urgent need of full retrofit, including engine rooms. For which, Aselsan would need a partner. One thing tho is these ships are from the same family as Nigeria's sole frigate Aradu which Dearsan will retrofit and modernize. This could be a great joint Aselsan Dearsan working group.

Brits certainly won't like this, which needs to be taken into consideration if we are to have active relations with them.

Yeah. Considering the UK even tried to withhold the transfer of Danish F16s to Argentine on the ground that there was a British component on the mentioned aircraft, namely Martin-Baker ejection seats, they’d be really mad about this, if it goes through.

Come to think of it, we’d be not only rebuilding their navy, but also practically quantum leaping it into the new era of naval warfare

I am against exports to Argentina and Uruguay because of their attitude towards Turkiye, especially with regard to the Armenian nonsense.

-improving the relations and providing affordable alternatives to their needs may eventually change their perception and actions and I am not only talking about Argentina and Uruguay. Our millitary industiry is becoming a very effective and useful diplomatic tool.

Within the scope of the modernization program, it is aimed to upgrade existing systems with Turkish-made elements such as fire control, radar and electronic sensors.

@Baryshx I can’t say that what Argentine and Uruguay did is ok. But when you look at it from their perspective, it kind of makes sense.
In Argentine’s case, in my opinion, (not a fact) they might‘ve thought that to maintain their non-NATO ally status, which I believe there were six of them, they, partly out of zeal and partly maybe due to some US based Armenian lobby pressure, might have done it.
I can’t think anything else.

I would also humbly like remind our readers here that Turkey is the scapegoat now and the next pariah state candidate in American foreign policy. So, some lesser power countries not to be “left behind”, may hop on the let’s bash Turkey wagon. We must be ready for such blows from left and right. This condemning Armenian “nonsense” in national parliaments is nothing but to push Turkey into the corner. This is another step of pushing Turkey into isolation. This may be even a precondition of becoming an American ally in the future.

As far as Argentine goes, I don’t see any beef between us and looks like Turkish government don’t seem like they’re bothered about it, either. If we do what some hope us to do and cut relations with every country one by one, then we really will loose.
Turkey does not have any political ambitions and goals in S. America. It’s US’ playground. All we want is sell stuff and have trade relations.
That’s how i see it.

As far I know Argentine will get Anka Drones, it's also a Chance to establish on the Market to modernisation Argentine armed Forces. With the modernization Package, it's also possible to soll Atmaca and Cakir to them.

Regarding the Relation with Britain, we know from History we can not trust them. Maybe it can be our Advantage if they are otherwere busy.

There is a big diaspora of Armenians in Argentina,mostly rich businessmen and some politicians,they are the problem.

True. Up until late Nineteenth century Argentine was a prosperous country even maybe competing with the USA at attracting huge masses all around the world to her promising riches.
Anyway, As long as we hold our temper, act cool and just mind our own business, we’ll be just fine.
We don’t have the luxury of cooling or severing our relations with every country that touches our nerves. That’s all I want to tell

Also with the new elected president, I don't see anything happening with Argentina regarding defence exports.
