Italy to procure Bayraktar TB3 UAVs for aircraft carrier ITS Cavour.

According to a report by Naval News, Vice Admiral Berutti Bergotto, Commander-in-Chief of the Italian Navy, announced during his first parliamentary session since taking office on November 6, 2025, that the TB3 system developed by Baykar will operate from the Italian aircraft carrier ITS Cavour. Referencing the collaboration between Baykar and Italian industrial giant Leonardo, Bergotto stated that the procurement process would be conducted through Leonardo and that the system would be utilized for both surveillance and strike missions. “As you know, this company has signed a cooperation agreement with Leonardo; therefore, the acquisition will take place through Leonardo. This can be integrated onto the Cavour (aircraft carrier). It allows for both surveillance and the carriage of weapons,” Bergotto noted.

The procurement process will be executed through LBA Systems, a strategic joint venture established by Leonardo and Baykar, the world’s largest exporter of armed UAVs (UCAVs). This collaboration is considered the clearest indication of Italy’s intent to integrate a fixed-wing UCAV into its naval aviation component. With this move, Italy is poised to become the second customer for the TB3 after Indonesia, and its first customer in Europe.

Berlin prüft Kauf türkischer Raketen als Tomahawk-Ersatz

Berlin (dts Nachrichtenagentur) - Nach der Ankündigung von US-Präsident Donald Trump, künftig keine weit reichenden Tomahawk-Marschflugkörper in Deutschland zu stationieren, arbeitet die Bundesregierung zusammen mit weiteren Nato-Partnern an neuen Lösungsansätzen, um die Sicherheit des europäischen Kontinents weiterhin zu gewährleisten.
...

Demnach wird ein neuer Plan geprüft, wonach in einem Joint Venture zwischen deutschen und amerikanischen Unternehmen möglicherweise schon ab 2028 Tomahawk-Raketen in Deutschland produziert werden könnten. Vorbild wäre das bereits existierende Joint Venture zwischen dem deutschen Unternehmen MBDA aus dem bayerischen Schrobenhausen und dem US-Rüstungsunternehmen RTX, das künftig für die Nato dringend benötigte PAC-2-GEM-T-Flugkörper für das Patriot-System produzieren soll.

Parallel dazu wird in der Bundesregierung auch geprüft, zum Schutz der europäischen Nato-Staaten die türkische Interkontinentalrakete Yildirimhan mit einer Reichweite von bis zu 6.000 Kilometern und die Hyperschall-Langstreckenrakete Tayfun-Block-4 zu erwerben. Die noch in der Entwicklung befindliche Yildirimhan-Rakete könnte demnach frühestens ab dem Jahr 2028 ausgeliefert werden, kurze Zeit später dann auch die Tayfun-Block-4-Rakete, berichtet die "Welt" weiter unter Berufung auf informierte Kreise. ...

In dem Thread über die zukünftigen Deep Strike Fähigkeiten der Bundeswehr habe ich darüber gepostet und es geht laut Medienberichten darum das Tayfun Block-4 SRBM/MRBM und Yildirimhan ICBM in Erwägung gezogen werden um die Fähigkeitslücke zu füllen, die dadurch entsteht das die USA die Tomahawk nicht liefern können.

Es spricht einiges dagegen, die Türkei hat das MTCR unterzeichnet das die Weitergabe von Trägertechnologie mit über 300 km und einem Sprengkopfgewicht von mehr als 500 km untersagt. Politische Gründe würden auch dagegen sprechen z.B Abhängigkeiten von türkischen Liferketten.

Delivery deadlock in the US, the era of Turkish weapons in the Gulf: The Arab world turns to Ankara for defense.

While the United States government and defense companies face long-term delivery delays and a massive backlog of orders for their clients, Gulf and Arab countries are signing consecutive agreements to invest in and procure Turkish-made weaponry.

According to a report by Middle East Eye, the US-Israel conflict with Iran, which has been ongoing since late February, has placed heavy pressure on Gulf countries, particularly Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, and Saudi Arabia. Although these nations possess effective air defense systems against ballistic missiles, they are experiencing serious challenges due to ammunition shortages and Iranian-made long-range drones that have successfully destroyed long-range radar systems in the region.
