HK23 Machine Gun Used by the Gendarmerie Units.

You can see MG3 with HK23 (90s)

It is a good machine gun and is easier to transport in the field than the MG3.

Land forces are no longer using it, but still in use by Gendarmerie.

Qualification flights of the new ATR-72 Meltem III maritime patrol aircraft for the Turkish Navy. For the original plan Turkish Navy was ordered 15 units of ATR-72 fitted with maritime patrol & ASW electronics, airborne sonar, SAR radar, sonobuoys, countermeasures and Mk.54 torpedoes by the early 2000, however delays and urgent need of the projet leads them to convert 9 CASA CN-235 which transferred from TurAF with the same ASW equipment as part of Meltem I/II projects and decreased the ATR-72 Meltem III MPA numbers to 6 and +2 original ATR-72 aircraft for transportation needs.

One of the early photos of it during torpedo tests but without markings.
