Nice going Turkey - good on showing how to get stuff done!

Pulat APS produced by Aselsan integrated to 169 M60-TM tanks and already became combat proven.

First batch of modernised ACV15 delivered to Turkish Army. At first stage 133 of them will be modernised. Turkey has more than 2000 ACV15's to be modernised.

Hopefully all well in Cyprus and all assistance being offered to turkey

RIP to all those who have died.

The bigger problem still will be in Idlib province, Syria where 4.5 million live with many in refugee camps. A lot of the buildings there would already be structurally unsound due to over a decade of shelling and bombing (much less in the last few years following Turkey imposing a de-facto NZF against the Assad regime, although not Russia, but still ongoing to a degree).

The Assad regime will likely announce that it will facilitate aid being provided to Idlib but then in practice do everything it can to thwart it actually being delivered. The international community has a problem in that Russia has steadily used its veto power in the UNSC to reduce humanitarian aid from Turkey into Syria to a single border crossing. Could just ignore that and send it across multiple crossings but Russia would later then veto the one crossing they do permit (which is renewed on a six month basis).

Drone ships make all the sense in the world.

Perhaps one day we could get a fully automated drone ship with fully automated drones.

2 prototypes will be delivered for field tests in April 23.
