Turns out first Estonian Arma 6x6s were delivered last month.

And this is probably Nurol NMS.

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.

Özbekistan Signes deal for ANKA

Big contracts with Saudi Arabia and Pakistan are likely to come within the year.

Pakistani defense social media is speculating 2034 as the possible date for the delivery of the KAAN for the Pakistani air force.

I wonder at what stage are the Jinnah class design activities? I have a feeling that they will start the first batch with the MILGEM-İstif subclass, which has all the engineering completed and is being simultaneous in multiple quantities producing right now. It is also a perfect solution for the KSA.

How the hell can Pakistan sign a contract for KAAN with us. This endeavour is even more ridiculous than the ATAK contract.

Unless, and this is pure speculation, Pakistan is able to deliver an engine to the KAAN platform, and we're really going to be looking at a KAAN-P....

Why am I saying this, well considering that TS1400 was talked as potential engine to power ATAK129, I don't see any proof, which means actual ATAK129 produced with TS1400 engine. That delivers performance TSK wants.

So expecting KAAN with F110 or our own engine and delivery in/from 2034, seems very unreal to me.

I think our defence sales strategy has always been prioritising contracts then ironing the hurdles as it goes.
May not be the best strategy but it's definitely boosting the manufacturing process and keeping the motivation, not to mention the immense promotion that such deals bring with them, e.g. TB-2 after Ukraine got them, Poland, Romania, and many more followed suit.
