TB3 will start operating on TCG Anadolu in September. I wonder how is the progress with the land based TB-3?

Baykar doesn't seem to have any problems getting Ukranian engines(They are apparently assembling the 6th prototype) so if everything else is ready I don't think engine would be a huge problem for Anka-3. But do I think it is ready for serial production? hell no

Yeah that is what I thought but Anıl Şahin claimed otherwise even going into detail about how Akrep-1000G detects the target then transfers the information to Alp-100g for locking. I guess it is my fault expecting correct info from those guys after so many fuck ups lol

The real question is how long will it take to produce that many systems? It seems like Siper production rate will be 2 maybe 3 per year at best even with the newly opened facilities which is not bad at all but considering how critical our situation is. A lot more investment in the production is...

SavunmaSanayiTV claimed that Alp-100g was the target lock radar for the Siper system but then why the different Camo? And as far as I can understand it uses the same architecture as Siper's own radar so what is the difference? It doesn't make much sense to me

They finally found the right İmam Hatip graduate to fuck up all of Assan's progress I guess.

Seeing this reminded me that Şahin exists. I wish we see more deliveries of it considering the increasing drone attacks to our bases in Iraq. It would be a lot more cost effective than trying to place a Korkut in every base and a lot more reliable than relying on EW

The wording "The Siper system and 10 accompanying vehicles" also suggest that 10 vehicles is not the Siper System itself but it is interesting that they chose to not bring the batteries at all

I was thinking the same thing but for Toygun lol. Anka3, Kızılelma and Kaan will be menaces in air-to-ground engagements

Akınci with Aselflir-600 live streaming Mehmetçik Memorial from 70km away. Suprised they trusted Aselflir-600 enough to use it on a live stream since its first air test was such a short time ago

I am hoping that it is the TSK special pricing because 10m per vehicle for such an air defense delivery feels way too low

Major deliveries to Steel Dome today. 47 vehicles total will be delivered consisting of following systems: Siper, Alp-300g, Alp-100g, Hisar-O, Korkut, REDET and PUHU. It is interesting that ES/EW systems like PUHU and REDET are considered part of the Steel Dome. Either there is a much deeper...

Apparently new deliveries for Steel Dome(at least 1 Siper battery hopefully other systems too) and announcement of a new factory:

There were news about new radar compound some time ago so maybe new factory for AESA radars? I think that would count as Steel Dome news

Imo main job of a MALE drone is recon then it is to provide air support in places you have the air superiority be it by exploiting the gaps in enemy AD or operating in areas you have total air superiority. The success TB-2 had against Russian systems was an anomaly and should not be regarded as...
