"Hayk's Arrow" Armenian Strategic Center
Follows weapons and equipment from announcements and contracts to reported deliveries and public display. Identifies suppliers, systems, quantities where disclosed and the evidence supporting each stage, without treating an order as a completed delivery.
The UK reports a contract to train 10 Turkish pilots and nearly 100 ground technicians.
This is a support-contract milestone under the October 2025 aircraft deal, not confirmation that aircraft were delivered.
Türkiye’s defence minister attended the opening of BMC’s tank and armoured-vehicle production facility and the first delivery ceremony for the new ALTAY tank.
The ministry dates the ceremony to 28 October. The cited announcement establishes first delivery and serial-production launch but is not used here to infer an unverified tank quantity or fleet-wide readiness.
The UK government announced a signed agreement for Türkiye to buy 20 new Typhoon aircraft.
The announcement schedules the first delivery for 2030. This record therefore remains a contract milestone, not a completed delivery or current operational capability.
Türkiye’s presidency reported delivery of 47 vehicles and platforms associated with the Steel Dome layered air-defence programme.
The source describes components delivered at a ceremony, not 47 complete air-defence systems. It does not independently establish nationwide coverage or full operational integration of Steel Dome.
Turkish Aerospace reported handing over the fourth T625 GÖKBEY helicopter to the Gendarmerie after ground and flight testing.
The record uses the report’s publication date because the text does not separately date the handover ceremony. Four is the cumulative delivered total reported at that point, not four new units in this event.
Turkish Aerospace announced a production contract for 57 TS1400-powered T625 GÖKBEY helicopters for six Turkish military and security institutions.
The IDEF-2025 contract is reported in a 1 August release; only the July signing month is assigned. Planned deliveries run from 2028 to 2031. The reported total of 83 is an order book, not delivered aircraft.
· Published
DSCA notified a possible sale of 53 AIM-120C-8 AMRAAM missiles and six guidance sections to Türkiye.
The congressional notification and State Department approval establish only a possible sale. The transmittal identifier 19-03 is not a 2019 event date. No signed order, delivery or operational stock is inferred.
Turkish Aerospace delivered the first T625 GÖKBEY utility helicopter to the General Command of the Gendarmerie.
The company’s 2024 sustainability report dates the delivery to 29 October. This is a first-unit delivery milestone, not fulfilment of the entire order or a current fleet count.
The Turkish defence ministry records a provisional handover ceremony for the first Reis-class submarine, PİRİREİS.
The ministry’s 2024 activity report dates the ceremony to 24 August and the provisional handover protocol to 17 October. The same ceremony’s HIZIRREİS flag-raising is not counted as delivery of a second submarine.
The US notified Congress of a possible $23 Bn package covering 40 new F-16 aircraft and modernisation of 79 existing aircraft.
Türkiye’s Presidency confirmed the 26 January notification in a 1 February statement. The authorisation is not a delivery record and the estimate is not final contract expenditure.
Original-source amount: The US notified Congress of a possible 23,000 USD million package covering 40 new F-16 aircraft and modernisation of 79 existing aircraft.
The source reports current USD; no second currency conversion is applied.
A joint ceremony handed over TCG İstanbul, TCG Ütğm. Arif Ekmekçi, TCG Derya and the MARLİN unmanned surface vehicle to the Turkish Navy.
STM’s 20 January account dates the ceremony to 19 January. The four platforms are retained as one handover event, avoiding four counts of the same ceremony. Handover alone does not establish operational readiness.
· Published
Türkiye signed a serial-production contract for SİPER Product-1 and an additional HİSAR air-defence contract extending procurement to the air force.
The defence ministry and ASELSAN identify the 15 December signing. Delivery targets mentioned in the announcement are plans; this record does not treat the contracted systems as already delivered.
The US approved a possible $259 Mn sale of F-16 avionics upgrades and related support to Türkiye.
The notification covers systems including automatic ground-collision avoidance and tactical data links. The amount is an estimated authorisation ceiling, not paid expenditure or a confirmed delivery.
Original-source amount: The US approved a possible 259 USD million sale of F-16 avionics upgrades and related support to Türkiye.
The source reports current USD; no second currency conversion is applied.
The Ministry of National Defence recorded the commissioning ceremony for the amphibious assault ship TCG Anadolu.
The date refers to formal entry into service. It does not independently establish the readiness of every planned aircraft or embarked system.
FNSS announced the first Marine Assault Vehicle delivery to the Turkish Navy’s Amphibious Marine Brigade.
25 March 2023 is explicitly the announcement day. The stated 27-vehicle programme consists of 23 personnel carriers, two command and two recovery vehicles; it is not proof that all 27 had been delivered by then.
Turkish Aerospace’s reporting identifies the first T70 utility-helicopter delivery to Gendarmerie General Command in 2022.
The user is the Gendarmerie, not the Air Force. The licence-production programme includes several military and civilian customers; its original 109-aircraft plan is not a delivered-fleet total. Year precision is retained.
Baykar dates the entry of its AKINCI unmanned combat aircraft into Turkish service to 29 August 2021.
The date comes from the manufacturer’s retrospective account. Service entry is distinct from the first flight on 6 December 2019 and does not establish the current fleet size or readiness.
The Armed Forces Foundation’s programme chronology places AKSUNGUR’s first user delivery in 2021.
A retrospective manufacturer-linked chronology supplies the year; a month or quantity is not inferred from it. First flight in 2019 and foreign deliveries are separate milestones.
· Published
ASELSAN’s annual report records delivery of HİSAR-A+ and HİSAR-O+ air-defence systems during 2021.
The annual delivery statement is also reflected in the ministry’s December 2023 contract speech. No quantity or individual delivery day is provided here; 2023 serial-production contracting is a later, separate milestone.
STM identifies service entry of Ada-class corvette TCG KINALIADA (F-514) into the Turkish Navy on this date.
Commissioning is distinct from the earlier launching or construction milestone. This record concerns one named ship, not the whole class or a claim of current operational readiness.
Historical and current source records on ministry budgets, equipment, forces, defence industry and partnerships. Annual personnel and industrial indicators are separate from event counts. Retrospective corporate histories are identified; manufacturer reports do not independently establish operational readiness. Source definitions and population changes remain visible. Ministry budgets, SIPRI expenditure and industrial revenues have different scopes and must not be added together.
This is a curated public-source reference, not a complete inventory. Each record identifies an event or publication date, implementation stage and evidence type; the detail explains which date is known. An official report establishes what the issuer said; a contract does not establish delivery, and delivery does not establish readiness. Unknown quantities remain unknown. Records count publications or developments, not weapons, personnel or military strength.
