ASELSAN announced that the company has signed a contract with an overseas customer for $24.9 million.

A second order for the ASELPOD Electro Optical Targeting System, which gives precision capability to fighter jets, came from Pakistan.

According to the statement published by ASELSAN on the Public Disclosure Platform (KAP), a contract amounting to $24.9 million has been signed with Pakistan to integrate ASELPOD into their air platforms.

Pakistan, which will pay a total of $24.9 million for 16 ASELPOD systems, will use these pods on the JF-17 fighter jets that it has developed jointly with China.

Developed by ASELSAN for the Turkish Air Force, ASELPOD system is used on the F-16 and F-4E 2020 aircrafts. The system transfers the captured images to the screen in front of the pilot.

The target is marked with a laser while being monitored with the camera. Spot-on shots can be fired with sensitive ammunition.

ASELSAN realized the first ASELPOD exports last June to Pakistan, which has re-ordered a year later. The said system will be used on JF-17 aircrafts that Pakistan has jointly developed with China.

Moreover, improving its commercial ties at home and abroad, ASELSAN recently struck a number of deals at the 13th International Defense Industry Fair (IDEF '17).

At Pakistan’s biennial defence exhibition IDEAS in November 2016, Aselsan officials confirmed that the company delivered its first batch of ASELPOD pods to PAF. The company also confirmed that it was in talks with the PAF for additional ASELPOD pods.

its the follow up order

It would be fascinating to know how well Aselpod performs against other pods from a neutral position.

I wonder what's wrong with WMD-7? Isn't it capable enough for COIN ops?

Let's face it. We only have one real ally/friend/dost in the Islamic World and that's Pakistan. Neither Arabs nor any other predominantly Muslim group would rush to help us like the Pakistanis would do. After Turkey shot down the Russian plane, there were already groups in Pakistan planing and debating about how quickly they can reach to Turkey in case of war.

I hope that we Turks regardless of our political party affiliation are aware of this precious bond.

It's just rumors. No solid proof of jf-17 striking ttp ground targets especially using ASELPOD's. It would make my day if i found some solid proof tho.
