Pretty busy week... - Multiple airstrikes in Iraq this week, saw several numbers going out by media. - Ops in Bingol resulted in destroyed hide-outs and various supplies, weapons and explosives being found. Included one anti-material sniper, several small arms with ammo, 1.5-2 tons of anfo, one...

No their internal armor is still a1/a2 level, hence older and less equipped to deal with atgms.

Some (majority?) of Turkish Leo2s still have older armor (A1/a2 level?) and not A4 level though.

Panter is our artillery system, which they just recently put on a truck chassis to offer mobility. But your link says tankboat, I remember seeing some crazy mock-up like that with 105/155mm barrel on a small boat? Then it could probably be about that.

I think you're mixing helicopter cas (20mm) with f16 cas (guided bombs). Hurkus will use Cirit-Umtas and maybe mk81/82 (the smaller ones). In the past year the targets have shrunk to mere dozens, sometimes as low as 7 at a time. Instead of flying out an F16 you can send a Hurkus. It will still...

Afaik the set-up of Hurkus is still not known. 20mm we don't have any present, for 12.7 FN herstal and Roketsan worked together to create a specific hybrid pod. But I highly doubt we will use 12.7-20mm and I think it's stupid and highly risky. We should use Hurkus as a smart bomber/slow flying...

Problem is, other guys offering patriot and meads also know it's a bargaining chip :D

Both FNSS (Malaysia) and Otokar (UAE & Bahrain) have secured export success with their designs. FNSS incoming with their Kaplan & Pars anti-tank vehicles, makes me think Otokar might secure contracts with Arma and possibly in the future Tulpar.

Yes, joint production between UAE based firm and Otokar.

This thing screams UAE order me lol :). Bro, you have any idea why our firms are persisting on 25mm without ATGM? Why not test 30/40mm? If necessary on heavier platforms like Tulpar.

Cobra I is a great vehicle, it's only in the past year or so with the very heavy ieds that they have felt outdated. Could be cheaper to go for a number of Cobra Is and Ejder 2 as the heavy guys. And for Ejder 2 feedback from police was good and military also bought them. Didn't really expect...

Thanks, I knew about the Cobra's, didn't know they tested Ejder as well. Then it's most likely you guys.

- One of the guys killed in Mardin was responsible for multiple (s)vbied attacks. They had an M16 + MP5 with them. - ANFO found & captured in Mardin area's, minimum 2 heavy ~150kg ieds found and destroyed. - 80 kg of PETN explosive materials found being smuggled from Diyarbakir to Istanbul - 2...

BMC offering Kirpi's with Korean(?) RCWS for export market, domestically featuring Sarp rcws. Ejder confirmed sold to unnamed North African country (Tunisia, Morocco, Algeria?). Tunisia has Kirpi and was looking at Kobra 1+2.

Is this from Pak or from Turkey? Because Nurol spokesman claimed to have received multiple orders from abroad with additional interest for more.

So is the CATS product going to be like the breakthrough and lead us to develop various types of flirs? Feel like we really need to catch up on small-medium level uav's.

Raqqa claims are to tell Trump hey we're here and ready to play. Even if they don't end up going with us it might stall/delay them a bit more.

That 4x4 project carrying ATGM launcher sure seems handy. Or one of those 6x6 arma/pars with 25/30mm gun and atgm added....

It's 1) Syrians being dumb Syrians and continues aggression, will only stop when properly dealt with. It's 2) Russians sending messages telling us to stand back/that we should not cross further. Hence it's interesting to see what will happen with Tadef, Russian media claimed SAA had...

450-500 kg anfo captured in Tunceli this week, 1/2 killed, 1 captured 3 soldiers wounded today. Haven't been keeping up too much but mainly smaller things (supplies etc) being found during bigger routine ops.
