Wait, so the new firm has to start from scratch with Kargi?

Yes, that is why it might take a few years until something materializes.

 

[Huelague]

That is bloody fucking marvellous

What about MKE's new Shahed-like Kamikaze drone? Would that be an alternative for Kargi? At least for the time being?

ASELSAN General Manager Ahmet AKYOL:

We have successfully developed T-LINK, which enables the radar of one of our aircraft to detect a missile launched from another aircraft, or the radar of one of our ships to activate the air defense system of another ship.

[Shtr]

I can not wait. I want to hear good news as quickly as possible. If there will be again something not concrete, I will lose all my hopes.

 

[Turkic]

GÖKHAN ??

Media confirmed. It will be unveiled in minutes.

 

[Radko]

Did they shot a Rafale with GÖKHAN in the video?

Which video?

 

[Pokemonte13]

they will start this year with tests

 

[Radko]

They showed a video of GÖKHAN during the reveal. F-16, KAAN and KE

Do you have it?

 

[Turkic]

"Meteor füzesinin muadili olacak şekilde Gökhan füzesinin menzili uzatmak için bir anlaşma imzaladık."

"We have signed an agreement to extend the range of the Gökhan missile to be the equivalent of the meteor missile."

If I didn't hear it wrong, Fatih Kacır said this.
-------------------
"We have a 2000kms range missile project. No, I'm not talking about Tayfun (after Fulya's question)."

They showed a video of GÖKHAN during the reveal. F-16, KAAN and KE

Important point: Only the F-16 had the missile on it's pylons. So it was in Kızılelma's IWB.

 

[Philip the Arab]

What is PAVO group? Can anyone shed some light on this?

They finally unveiled (not so much of an unveiling buuuuuut anyway) GÖKHAN

 

[Pokemonte13]

What’s now the difference between gökhan and Gökbora in capability

 

[Ahlatshah]

Half of Europe united and created 1 ramjet AA missile, we on ourselves created 2 ramjet AA missiles: Gokbora and Gokhan

This is not small UAVs like Baykar and Tusaş making almost identical ones, like Kalkan and others. There may be export consideration.

But we are talking about extremely expensive programs. I dont like this duality and lack of planning

 

[Shtr]

They told we will increase the target distance to compete with rivals. They did not tell anything about current situation. I understand this explanation as we fucked up. All projects do not need to be successful but this is an exception. I guess Roketsan will complete its project faster than this.

 

[TheInsider]

Gökhan will have 2 variants. The first variant will have a comparable/slightly longer range than Meteor(but it will arrive that range a lot faster than meteor which is highly important in A-A warfare). The second extended range variant will be comparable to Chinese and American super-long-range AA missiles. Gökhan has SAGE proprietary liquid/gel ramjet propulsion tech and fuel formula that is the fruit of extensive R&D. Gökhan aims to combine the advantages of solid fuel rocket motor AA missiles and ramjet AA missiles. Rocket accelerate faster and has a higher top speed, while ramjet offers more endurance.
