Suudi general 2 milyar dolarla geldi
Ankara’da üst düzey kabul gören Suudi generalin, 2 milyar $’lık silah alımı için Türkiye’ye geldiği öğrenildi
Suudi Arabistan Genelkurmay Başkanı Orgeneral Hüseyin Bin Abdullah Al Gobail, geçtiğimiz hafta Ankara’ya yaptığı resmi ziyarette, Genelkurmay Başkanı Orgeneral Necdet Özel’in yanı sıra, Cumhurbaşkanı Abdullah Gül ve Başbakan Recep Tayyip Erdoğan tarafından da kabul edildi. Gobail’in bu kadar yüksek seviyede kabul görmesinin ardından ise 2 milyar dolarlık silah satışı çıktı. Türkiye’nin, Suudi Arabistan’a, milli insansız hava aracı “ANKA” ile milli tankı “ALTAY”ı satmak için sözleşme görüşmeleri yürüttüğü öğrenildi.
Büyük anlaşma
TSK için üretilen ve ocak ayında uçuş testleri tamamlanarak, seri üretime geçilme aşamasına gelen ANKA’ya, Suudi Arabistan’ın ilgi gösterdiği ortaya çıktı. 200 kilometrelik link menziline ve 18 saat uçuş kapasitesine sahip olan ANKA, görüşmelerde bir pürüz çıkmaması halinde Suudi Arabistan ordusu için de üretilecek.
1 milyar dolar ayrıldı
Suudi Arabistan’ın ilgilendiği diğer proje de milli tank “ALTAY” oldu. 1 milyar dolar ar-ge kaynağı ayrılan ALTAY, 60 ton ağırlığında. İlk etapta 250 adet üretilmesi planlanan tankın birim maliyetinin 5,4 milyon dolar olması tahmin ediliyor. Suudiler’in elindeki ABD yapımı “Abrams” tanklarının birim maliyeti ise 8,58 milyon dolar. Bu yüzden, Suudi Arabistan’ın ALTAY’ı tercih etmesi bekleniyor.

‘Israel seeks Turkish airbase to enable Iran strike’

Netanyahu’s national security adviser travels to Ankara offering advanced defense technology in exchange for an airstrike launching platform, the Sunday Times reports
When National Security Council head Yaakov Amidror arrives in Turkey on Sunday to discuss compensation for flotilla victims, he will also be seeking to lay the groundwork for the stationing of Israeli fighter jets in an airbase near Ankara, ahead of a possible strike on Iran’s nuclear facilities, the Sunday Times reported.
“Until the recent crisis, Turkey was our biggest aircraft carrier,” an Israeli military source told the London-based publication. “Using the Turkish airbases could make the difference between success and failure once a showdown with Iran gets underway.”

“Iran is warning openly about its intentions to destroy us and is working with all its might to carry it out,” Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said at a Holocaust Remembrance ceremony in Jerusalem earlier this month. “We won’t leave our fate in the hands of others, even the best of our friends,” he added alluding to the US’s promise to prevent Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons.
According to the Sunday Times report, Amidror is expected to offer Turkey advanced missile and surveillance technology in exchange for a base and training facilities at Akinci air base, northwest of Ankara.
The move would see a resumption of the arrangement that was established in 1996 and remained in place until the two countries all but severed ties in the wake of the May 2010 raid on the Mavi Marmara, when Israeli commandos killed nine Turkish nationals during the takeover of the vessel which was trying to reach Gaza.
A wary reconciliation between the two former allies was brokered by US President Barack Obama during the final moments of his visit to Israel last month. Just minutes before boarding Air Force One, Obama handed Netanyahu the phone and heard him apologize to his Turkish counterpart Recep Tayyip Erdogan for any “operational errors” made by Israel during the Mavi Marmara incident.
Amidror will reportedly be arriving in Ankara with a proposal to sell Turkey a variety of Israeli-developed weapons and military equipment, including Arrow anti-ballistic missiles, an advanced visual intelligence system developed by Elop, and an electronic warfare system made by Elta. The latter two systems were reportedly sent to Turkey for testing before bi-lateral ties deteriorated.
“The Israeli defense establishment has been lobbying hard for the politicians to find a form of apology, in order to restore the Israeli-Turkish alliance against Syria and Iran,” an Israeli defense source told the Sunday Times. “Turkey is very worried by Iran’s missile ambitions — countering this independently would take them years. With Israeli know-how based on the Jericho ballistic missiles, the time-frame will be cut short.”
“Turkey is talking about full normalization and a return of ties to the way they were before,” Turkey’s deputy prime minister Bulent Arinc told Maariv in an interview published on Wednesday. “I expect the talks to succeed. Normalization between Israel and Turkey will increase the chances of regional peace.”
Arinc said that Israel’s apology over the flotilla incident and acquiescence to Turkey’s other demands of paying compensation to the families of those who died, as well as easing the blockade on Gaza, have paved the way for re-establishing ties that broke off after the incident.
On Saturday, however, families of the Marmara victims objected to compensation talks with Israel, saying the Jewish state must first fully lift its blockade of the Gaza Strip.
The relatives also said they would not drop lawsuits filed against former Israeli military commanders they hold responsible for the deaths.
Earlier this month, an Istanbul court heard the charges that were filed against four of the most senior retired IDF commanders, including former chief of staff Gabi Ashkenazi, in absentia. Israel has characterized the case as a politically motivated stunt.

Countdown to start for two new Turkish satellites
[/TD]
[TD="class: h2008_news_detail_text"]The Türksat 4A and Türksat 4B satellites, which have been built jointly by Turkish and Japanese engineers, are about to be completed, Transport Minister Binali Yıldırım has said.
“98.8 percent of Türksat 4A and 89 percent of Türksat 4B is finished. After their tests are completed, we will send Türksat 4A to space at the end of this year and Türksat 4B in the first quarter of 2014,” Yıldırım said.
He also said the final stage of equipment building and integration of the two satellites that started being built two years ago in Japan had been reached. The building of the two satellites is continuing under the supervision of Türksat AŞ. Company, with the participation of 15 Turkish engineers.
“With Türksat 4A, also the African continent will be covered by our satellites. With this satellite, we will be able to cover the entire continent … The satellite functional and environmental tests, known as space environment compliance tests before the launch, will be conducted soon. We plan to finish these tests in six months and launch Türksat 4A into space,” Yıldırım said.
Türksat 4B is also being assembled alongside 4A, and will host 43 channels when finally operational. Türksat 4B will be orbiting at 50 degrees east and, like Türksat 4A, will cover North Africa, Europe, the Middle East and Asia.
It will also offer Internet services, and will be able to provide cheap broadband Internet to those regions in Turkey where the Internet is not available through the current terrestrial infrastructure, as well as to some neighboring countries. With the launching of the two satellites, Turkey’s satellite capacity will increase to three times the present one.
