The Polish tender is between the Tulpar and KF-41 Lynx now. Apparently the Korean Redback was disqualified for unknown reasons 👀

The Poles also got a taste of the technical specification writing mastery in the Korean contracts.

I am also hella blind because it clearly stated that the reason was that Polish ZSSW-30 turret cannot be integrated into the Redback. Seems that the Poles indeed were to hasty in completely jumping on Korean arms without properly doing their homework. Good chance that whole ordeal with T-50 might have put the Koreans under a microscope.

That is a great success.



Baykar is still selling Wescam with their products Though.
16 countries in a single year!!!!
There are so many layers here. A new product record sales and that's from a country that is really new to producing such equipment.
Baykar sold those with Wescam because that was the best they could offer with the TB-2s that have been being sold like hot cakes.
Wescam could've made millions of dollars if they (Canadian gov't) weren't so smug to impose an embargo on Türkiye because of their "friends" in Armenia who were fighting "Sharia savages" in Azerbaijan.
Well, Azerbaijan and Türkiye came out the winners in the end and everybody was put in place, embargoes lifted, but it seems we ain't done yet.
Our best exports lately have been humble pies.

Their hands were forced when MX15s destined for Turkish Navy drones were found in an Azerbaijani TB2 wreckage in Armenia proper, basically confirming we had acted outside the agreed terms of the sale. It wasn't smugness.

It was that kind of times that needed such an action and we paid the price. In the meantime expanded our own capabilities, and we shouldn't have the same issue with similar products ever again.

That's strange,don't the Poles have their indigenous Borsuk IFV? They've also proposed it for the Romanian tender (246 IFV's) which will be awarded this year.

Edit: I don't think I saw any Turkiye products for the Romanian tender,altough they scored big in the last 2 years on the Romanian market ,see Bayraktar and Otokar

Different class of vehicle. Borsuk is lighter and amphibious. And they are probably not too happy with it after nearly a decade and want something heavier now. I don't think they have placed an order for them yet.

Weird enough, they've submitted it for the Romanian IFV tender,with no Turkish companies present.

Well based on the comments under the tweet the Poles aren't exactly happy as well lol. The Polish counterpart would actually be the BWP Anders, but its seems there was serious issues with the project and the end product was simply not what was desired. Like said earlier Borsuk is more of a workhorse IFV(like an F-16) and Tulpar/KF-41 are heavy (like F-35?). I mean you get the analogy lol.

And another overview of the entrants.


If Otokar snatches this it'd be a great success, and probably the largest land vehicle export yet.

Is that Arma 2? Explains previous sighting of 6x6 variant. I guess they were testing it for them.

Also for now it seemed that Otokar enters the tenders with Arma1 but I guess it is not the case anymore. They are promoting and selling Arma2 as well now.

There's nothing to suggest a 6x6 version of Arma II exists yet. But it is indeed the same vehicle that was on the leak from the gas station.

Not realistic unless it's navy, helicopter, trainer jet and everything. Especially since we don't have jet engine yet

The 2 I-class is going to KSA, Airdefence systems, KizilElma but no Jets. The money is not enough for Fighters.
