President of Poland visited Aselsan today. The EW deal signed last year was actually more than $500 million:
Murad 600-A makes a second appearance during the Polish president's visit:
BTW, I don't believe the TRMs are installed, it's just the antenna backplate and slots where the TRMs need to be installed in.
US to move forward with Turkey jet engine sales ahead of NATO summit, sources say
- Sale is expected to be approved in coming days, sources said
- General Electric makes the engines for Turkey's Kaan combat jet
- One source said the package will be worth more than $700 million
Reporter: Türkiye wants the F-110 jet engines, and they want their F-35 fighter jets. Are you going to Türkiye with a big gift bag?
Trump: I think so. He's a member of NATO. Some people don't consider himself, but he really is. He is a strong member of NATO. Yeah, I'm going to probably do something that's going to make him very happy.
Critical Test Capabilities to be Commissioned at the Subsystems Test Center
The Subsystems Test Center will establish the following:
• ATS Overrunning Test Rig, used to verify the high-speed operating mode of the Air Turbine Launcher (ATS) equipment integrated into the platform engine within the platform's flight envelope;
• TF35000 Deoiler Test Rig, used to verify the performance of the air-oil separation unit in the TF35000 engine's lubrication system;
• TF35000 FMU Test Rig, used to verify the engine's fuel control unit's response to fuel flow, pressure, and flow rate operating conditions; and
• APU Gearbox Test Rig, used to verify the power transmission and lubrication systems in the auxiliary power unit under load, temperature, and endurance conditions.
This will enable the verification of critical functions such as fuel control, air-oil separation, power transmission, lubrication, and high-speed endurance in national engines and auxiliary power systems.
Congress got 2 weeks to block the F110 sale to Turkiye, but for that they need a 2/3 majority. The chance of that happening is very small.
Güchan really is meant as a message and the fact they plan to start testing it around the US primaries (November) adds fuel to the smoke. They don't need to wait 6 months to start testing and calibration if they are already build. I bet they are already being tested and will probably release footage of the tests somewhere around the elections.
