I remembered a time that my classmate insisted that I shouldve used electric propulsion for cargo helicopters because "batteris gettin bettuh" or the time that a well known news site thought putting this on TCG Anadolu was a great idea even after years showing that it wasn't feasible at all If...

I will probably get clubbed to death by Gökbey design team for this

Unirobotics also put Echoguard on TRAKON LITE with M134 minigun, I guess we have our own mini Phalanx CIWS now They previously put the radar on TRAKON 30 and even built on the idea further by pairing the RCWS with a mast for Echoshield

https://turdef.com/article/goekberk-laser-weapon-gets-a-radar-upgrade-with-aura-200-g GÖKBERK used to have AURA 100-G, which is kinda some years old at this point and limited to slow UAVs. On the other hand, AURA 200-G is paving the way for countering fast moving stuff and possibly C-RAM, for...

In case y'all are worried about weight, AW159 which is literally in the same weight class with the same type of engines can comfortably carry two torpedoes or even 20 Martlet missiles

Yarr harr harr and here we are, Naval Gökbey, this time with repositioned stuff, considering fuselage sonobuoy launchers

stubby sponson pylons are mostly less complicated since they have the weight closer to CG and have less workload when making it work at design stage Also they provide some good clearance for the door gunners still another option is going the same way as AW149

Speaking of Gökbey variants, armed transport/SAR could be nice for the Army, maybe I will add door HMG/Gatling too

I think TUSAŞ's AYAZ should be like these two new Geran variants, available for aircraft in addition to RATO launch, still as simple as it can get. We still ain't sure if mounting AAMs will work as good as they wantt it to.

As the new year approaches, I felt like making a new style for the infographics too I have observed the Turkish munition-dropping UAVs over the course of two years at exhibitions, and I can say that there is a good amount of those cloning the exact same layout from Ukraine War while some others...

https://turdef.com/article/russia-mounts-soviet-era-r-60-missiles-on-geran-2-uavs If this even manages to acquire and shoot down a helicopter or crop duster, I will start making a call for SÜPER ŞİMŞEK with a pair of SUNGUR missiles

My guesses (No insider info, simply prediction) 1-This ramjet might be using parafine-based fuel like DeltaV's rockets, I feel something needs to stand out here 2-Test vehicle appears to be 300~ mm in diameter because the booster looks kinda like the one on TOLUN-S It would be dope to have a...

Ayooo DeltaV, what are you cooking?

https://turdef.com/article/tusas-develops-a-new-jet-powered-kamikaze-uav-ayaz We might see a dedicated kamikaze UAV design from TUSAŞ

Kept everything on a "need to know first" basis, hope it will be helpful, more willl come
