One single-engine AQUILA A212 type aircraft entered the inventory of the Gendarmerie General Command. The aircraft has a Rotan 914 type engine and GARMIN G500 series avionics. The owner of AQUILA is Celal Gökçen, a businessman from Bursa. Gökçen bought the company from the Germans in 2015.

What is the purpose of that aircraft? Training?

Yes for education

Why just one tho. Maybe they want to train their King Air pilots themselves. More interested in the "gifting" part.

Police Officer Fatma Akin Akilli became a martyr in result of Malaria which she caught while on a mission in Ghana. May Allah accept her martyrdom!

 

[Sanchez]

Should have been preventable. Very sad.

Rest in Peace, but every tourist takes malaria medication with them when they travel to Malaria prone countries.
How come she had none with her or didnt receive proper treatment?

It's in close, if you go,
Far away if you just look!

Everywhere is close to us, everywhere our glorious flag waves is Turkiye!

Gendarmerie media works definitely my favorite lately.

Two Police pilots were martyred in result of an S70 crash in Gaziantep. May Allah accept their martyrdom!

No cold, only the warmth of the flag,
No fatigue, only determination and perseverance,
No giving up, only the prayers of our nation,
No snow or winter, only the fight against terrorism!

Showcase on JNGK's autogyros. Looks like they are equipped with Aselsan radios and Lapis Aerospace EOs.

I thought it was a foreign company until I saw this:

Anyone know or can estimate a guess on the take off cost for these compared to say, a helicopter traffic police may use ?

I think as technology becomes more easily available we'll see many of these mini choppers or the type that PKK used to fly over the border.

Thus I think it's important to have passive radar relays (where it's necessary) and create a spiderweb that detects and reports these border movements to control center/AI that can switch to cameras that can zoom in on the object.

Not cheap of course and not starting on creating that web isn't going to make it easier when it becomes necessary.

I thought it was a foreign company until I saw this:

Autogyro is a German company. Skyolympos is their Turkish partner and handle sale, training and maintenance of Autogyros and Sirius aircraft, as well as some ultralights in Turkey.

No info on unit costs but they use a simple 100hp Rotax engine like on TB2, so must be pretty cheap to run. Also see the soldiers operating it; only one officer and NCO as it has a single pilot, compared to usually 2 officer complement of helicopters.

I'm unsure if this is a better option than just getting more TB2s still.

The new Gendarmerie General Commander is General Ali CARDAKCI. I wish him success and uninterrupted service for the nation.

Armored vehicle(looks like Ejder) rolled over in Tunceli, falling from some length. Probably caught fire as well from the photos available, 4 dead.

"Gizem Büyükçaylı, who lives with her family in Balıkesir because her husband is serving in Tunceli and she is 8 months pregnant, received the news of the martyrdom of her husband, Gendarmerie Specialist Sergeant Orhan Burak Büyükçaylı. Gizem Büyükçaylı, who collapsed upon this, was taken to the Gynecology Emergency Department of Balıkesir Atatürk City Hospital.

Büyükçaylı gave birth to a baby boy in a C-section operation."

Şehit Büyükçaylı'nın acı haberini alan eşi doğum yaptı

Tunceli'nin Ovacık ilçesinde görev esnasında zırhlı aracın devrilmesi sonucu şehit olan Jandarma Uzman Çavuş Orhan Burak Büyükçaylı'nın eşi Balıkesir'de doğum yaptı.

After Kirpi proliferation in early 2010s we had multiple incidents. Better training fixed it to some degree. Now, after the army crash in Kıbrıs last month, another in Tunceli. From what I can see, gendarme still doesn't have a rollover and egress simulator. From everything available, this was a preventable incident. A kid will never be able to celebrate his birthday because it's the day his father died. We don't have the luxury of losing our best in incidents like these.
