An earnest wake up call for India. It is naturally part of the region and others in the region are as welcoming to collaborating with it as India is willing to collaborate with others. The Modi government does seem rather reactive in its foreign policy without a grand strategy, responding when approached but not reaching out.

Turkey has completed upgrading their F-16 fleet to latest standarts, with new radars, common avionics, an EW suite, datalink, JHMCS and so on. A total of 117 have been updatd that way. This will bring a lot of new capabilities way into the future for the turkish AF.
Nice.
With the latest upgrades to systems and weapons, the F-16 is still a very potent and dangerous opponent in the air to any opposition force.
Surprised that nobody seems to have picked up on the Russian resumption of the S300 deal to Iran.
Unsure as to whether to post it in this thread or Russia Military news.
Still very big story and something that changes the dynamics of the Regional balance of power, the end trajectory of the Iranian Nuclear negotiations and of course the entire sanctions regime.
I wonder if this will turn into an AIIB Mk2 with the Russian lead heralding a stampede of the rest of the world away from the sanctions regime, despite the protest of some others.

Vladimir Putin OKs sale to Iran's air defense system S-300. The transaction will be imminent
(Defensa.com) Russian President Vladimir Putin has signed a decree allowing the export of air defense system long-range S-300 to Iran on Monday. Recall that Russia had to cancel in 2010 the sale to Iran of this advanced defense system due to sanctions imposed by the United Nations. The Kremlin own webpage you can access the decree on the implementation of the United Nations Security Council resolution, which have been included amendments that allow this transaction. After the announcement of this measure, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said the operation with Iran is "imminent".
In recent years, the Russian government has used the possible sale of this system to Iran as leverage in several diplomatic clashes with Western powers. However cancellation supply in 2010 cost the Russian company Rosoboronexport to Iran turned to the Court of Arbitration in Geneva for breach of contract. More recently, in January of this year the Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu visited Iran where agreed with his Iranian counterpart signed a cooperation agreement which included the delivery of S-300.
The origin of this decision Vladimir Putin would be in the preliminary agreement that would have been reached regarding the Iranian nuclear program. The so-called sextet (United States, European Union, Russia, UK, Germany and France) reached an agreement with Iran last April 2 after finding substantial progress on regulation of the Iranian nuclear program. United States is in a difficult situation after this decision because Israel has pressured him to prevent delivery of this provision but after the company announced that the delivery of S-300 would not affect the principle according to which they have come. This is one of the issues discussed in the article "The unbalancing effect of Russian air defense systems last generation," published in the December issue of the journal FDS (Security and Defence Forces).

No offence to the Iranian military industry but the same design by Cuba 30 years ago seems better designed.

We now live in a World very different from what it was a month ago.
The ridge on the tank turret is very odd, wonder what purpose it serves.
The future tank deserves a role in the next Mad Max movie, it reminds me of a less armored version of something built on an American reality TV show about a small-time indie arms maker. It is probably just a test bed for the RWS.
