A telegram channel says North Macedonia decided to further increase its defence supply from Turkiye. It says Turkiye will have a big piece from the cake within the scope of the country's 10-year defense procurement plans. (No claims)

And we see a compact launcher for Çakır, at last. They are not making use of existing ATMACA launchers anymore and it seems as compact as Marte-ER's.

It only makes sense. Lots of potential there to disrupt the market for FACs. I'm thinking in the next few years we will see a helicopter launched variant as well to replace aging Martes and Penguins.

SUNGUR Air Defense Missile with 4 beautiful missile launch

A little typo there mate (not your fault, the original had the mistake)

Can't open the pictures in the link for some reason, how did they place the Sungur launchers?

Nah, he did call it a "beautiful launch system"

I don't love the photos so didn't post it originally but here are the best ones. Sungur launcher is atop the bridge. Looks similar but different than the previous Vuran based Sungur launcher.

Interesting placement, but then again, ship looks like it is filled to the brim so must be the only logical place. Reloading it might be a pain in the ass though.

You know the cirit launcher pod we saw on those pickups could be pretty awesome on FAC

Aselsan'a 58,6 milyon dolarlık sipariş

Aselsan Elektronik Sanayi ve Ticaret A.Ş. Türk Devletleri Teşkilatı üyesi bir ülkeden sipariş aldığını duyurdu.

www.bloomberght.com

Aselsan signed 58,6 million dollar for electro-optic and communication systems with an OTS member state. Not as sub-systems but direct product sell.

It's a big amount for electro-optic and communication systems for an OTS member. Can we guess they're renovating their communication network with Aselsan's ?

What's this... Too many good news around Türkiye lately and I think it's connected to the pending operation against SDF. They're trying to offer bribe and threats simultaneously from all fronts. That's how I see it.

Aselsan announced a €50 million sale of "land weapon systems" to a EU country.

Per Sünnetçi, for Portugal's AOR tender for two ships, STM and Damen were the two finalists where STM's bid was chosen. Great success against a very important competitor.

And a nicer side view of Dearsan's FAC design for Qatari Navy with Çakır launchers. Furthermore:
"Within the scope of the project, it is planned to build a total of five of the DEARSAN-designed 50 m Guided Missile Fast Patrol Boats, which have been named Halul-11 by the Qatar Navy, and it is expected to receive a request from the Qatar Navy Command and the Qatar Armed Forces Procurement and Logistics Directorate in the near future for an additional contract for the construction of the other three ships, which are expected to be in different configurations. The first of the ships is expected to enter service in 2027 and the second in 2028."
