TR Defence Exports & Updates

[boredaf]

We have no idea what kind of behind closed doors blackmail could be used to force the hand of Türkiye to make such investment.

What investment are you talking about?

In case we get dragged into this

I saw the news but I don't see why we would need investment for getting an export contract? At most (and worst) our shipyards would switch some production to their ships but what kind of "investment" could we get "blackmailed" into for this?

I don't understand why Americans don't build modernized version of Oliver Hazard Perry class frigates. Even Germans cancelled F126 and decided to go with new Meko A200 frigates which was originally designed in 80s. Just update machinery, sensors, weapons and use automation to decrease crew numbers .

Because the design is obsolete.

The Meko 200 has little to do with our meko200

That could be Korkut at the back.

Apperantly BAF has procured and deployed ILTER J350 C-UAS soft kill system at its bases.

Baykar Antidot?

 

[Sanchez]

Baykar Antidot?

As an integrator probably. Nice accounting trick too, Aselsan sells to Baykar, Baykar exports it, double the money. That's how big ones do business.

Does it matter,its not like there is a dire need for the Hürküs in the Turkish Airforce?

Not really, just cruiosity.

So it's Baykar doing the exporting, not ASELSAN, correct? The export numbers go to Baykar's account, right?
