How can you say that when Türkiye has planned over 60billion dollar trade each year with Germany? We still have 6 AIP submarines being built with German cooperation. 33% of the Eurofighter production comes from Germany. RAM point defence missiles project has German involvement. German companies...

I’m afraid that isn’t entirely reflecting the complete picture. Siper block 2, as you say, should provide limited defence capabilities against ballistic threats. But in essence it is a 150+km range, 30km altitude single stage missile specifically designed to intercept high altitude UAVs, jet...

That is not quite correct. F16V70 and “Typhoon Tranche-3 and newer” are not in the same league. Typboons are much more potent fighting machines with better RCS and as air superiority fighter-jets they are miles ahead of the US plane. The only thing that will bridge KAAN to F16s are planes like...

The Özgür Project replaces foreign-sourced mission computers and avionics with Turkish-developed systems, such as the MURAD AESA radar and flight software. The program is designed to be compatible with Block 30, 40, and 50 aircraft. Instead, Turkey's Özgür modernization project bypasses this...

I know! Up until now there were vague insinuations about the use of Murad in conjunction with Gokdogan. This is the only source I came across that clearly states the successful use of Murad-100, Gokdogan and F16 Ozgur. I can understand your pessimism. But Aselsan has been developing and...

It was announced that in 2025, the F-16 ÖZGÜR aircraft successfully launched the GÖKDOĞAN missile at an air target for the first time using AESA nose radar and data link guidance. So our Ozgur-2 project is becoming more than just being on paper. But finding life in real time. This coincides...

https://turdef.com/article/atmaca-um-ground-launched-cruise-missile-hits-400-km-away SSB President has given the range of Kara Atmaca in the latest test to be in excess of 400km. That gives a coastal coverage of: So nothing much can be safe East of Crete.

https://militarywatchmagazine.com/article/israel-largest-tank-losses-40yrs-ambushes-21-merkava As far as this news is concerned IDF lost 21 Merkava tanks in Lebanon in one day.. Unconfirmed news coming from multiple sources claim that during the last week’s skirmishes IDF may have lost 75 to 100...

I would like to ask all members to use reputable sites and accepted experts’ views in the forum. It gives better understanding of events and cases as well as not put anyone sharing such articles, in a ludicrous and silly position.

Knowing how to make it doesn’t mean what they make is going to be good enough in battlefield. We saw what happened to their Leo 2a4s in ElBab. “Battle-Tested” is a big advertisement for any weapon. If today a Germans built a super duper UCAV, I would think not many will buy it if it were...

Let them satisfy themselves with these so called victories. In the meantime….. NATO is trying to form a multinational headquarters in Turkiye with a Turkish Commander in charge. (however it’s help to Turkiye is a subject open to discussions) At the sametime EU’s richest and most populist...

Using ballistic missile capable of hitting moving sea targets have been discussed many times. Problem with fast travelling ballistic missiles is attainment of a precision strike. Currently our Tayfun has a GOLIS (Go Onto Location In Space) guidance. That is for stationary targets. Roketsan...

Bozdogan is for WVR engagements. Can you see Akinci getting in to a dogfight with a manned jet fighter? Even KE is not yet ready for Bozdogan. Gokdogan is an expensive BVR a2a missile. Best performance is achieved when it is fired from a high speed high altitude jet fighter. Also after firing it...

No not really. It has an IIR seeker. Optically it will track and recognise its target. It will lock on to the IR shape of the target. How an IIR Seeker Functions: Thermal Imaging (Focal Plane Array): Modern IIR seekers use a grid of sensors (focal plane array) that detect thermal radiation...

What makes you think we can’t shoot Shaheeds at 100km distance? The operational envelope of Eren states, 100+ km engagement range. The turbojet engine that propels it is supposed to give it fairly high speed. It can sustain this speed for 15+ minutes. At 600km/hr speed that means 150+ km range...
