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...

@uçuyorum & @Pokemonte13 Guys, just to give you a perspective to your discussion; 495+ SOM missile order was placed and production started in 2013 (albeit LRIP to start with) and the contract was completed in 2019. Roketsan had a 300m2 area for this production line. But since then there have...

Only other viable solution is a Gökdoğan, Bozdoğan, or similar a2a missiles as US an other allies were using. Alternatively even more expensive Patriot missiles. Eren will be a great deal cheaper than any of those. Also you need to take in to account the fact that if you don't intercept those...

https://www.turkiyetoday.com/nation/bayraktar-akinci-achieves-first-air-to-air-kill-with-eren-loitering-munition-3214955?s=1 Last month Baykar and Roketsan carried out a test firing of a missile named Eren. This is a very important turning point in slower UCAVs being used in air to air and air...

MK1 radar is produced by Hensoldt. It is tecnologically behind the LeonardoUK produced MK2 version. Especially on EW. Typhoons that have MK0 can be retrofitted with MK2 fairly quickly. It would be a different story for the MK1. Upgrading from ECRS Mk0 to ECRS Mk2 is generally considered more...

If you check Roketsan’s site, Sea-Atmaca has a range of 250km and the Kara-Atmaca has a range of 280km. There are no “more than“ or “+” signs that go with it. https://www.roketsan.com.tr/en/products/kara-atmaca-surface-surface-cruise-missile...

If Baykar wants to stay as master of unmanned air vehicles they should concentrate on that subject and leave the engine technology to those who are masters of it. Otherwise they will be Jack of all trades but master of none. They still haven’t mastered KE yet. There is so much they need to...
