Another step for the AKINCI UCAV:
The ASELSAN MURAD GaN based AESA radar is now being tested on Baykar’s AKINCI UCAV.
This upgrade will enhance long-range detection and multi-target tracking capabilities and this also enables the AKINCI UCAV to use air to air missiles.
With 92% of the $6 billion defense export target for 2023 already met, Turkiye has significantly raised the bar for 2024, aiming for an impressive $11 billion. This strategic move aligns with the prevailing trend of rapidly growing military budgets worldwide.
Armenia held illegal “elections” in Karabakh. #Turkiye and the #EU reject them as illegal. A new #Azerbaijan-#Armenia conflict is looming.
In the last few day’s we seen large military convoys in many parts of Azerbaijan.
Turkish Ministry of Defence:
Happy 2232nd anniversary of our Turkish Land Forces, which has said Önce Vatan "Homeland First" throughout history and has been the sharp sword of our nation.
#Italy / #Turkiye:
Italian PM @GiorgiaMeloni: G20
"Italy and Turkiye are historically the two main players in the Mediterranean. It is important that the two nations talk to each other in this way, for example, about the energy crisis, for example, about the migration crisis,"
#Libya / #Greece:
Libyan Ministry of Foreign Affairs:
"Greek FM Dendias arrived in Tripoli but refused to get off his plane and decided to leave shortly after while Libyan FM Mangush was waiting to greet him."
This comes after Libya signed #EEZ and #Gas deals with #Turkiye.
#Greece has told #NATO that it hasn’t put their Russian S300 Air Defense Systems online but yet proceed to lock on to Turkish/NATO F16 Fighter Jets with these systems.
#Turkiye in the other hand gets ridiculed for buying S400 systems and also saying that they will be online.
US State Dept : “Under international law, a country’s airspace coincides with its territorial sea. The #US thus recognises an airspace up to 6 nautical miles consistent with territorial sea. #Greece and the US do not share a view on the extent of Greece’s airspace,"
