For ground use it needs a booster section. But would give a new deep strike option for usv and could also be used by the army.

i mean MK84 bomb is used under special circumstances if you want to destroy a large area or as bunker buster. MK82/83 are the standard for most operations. Also guidance kits not bombs and these would be used when enemy air defence is no longer a threat
Türkiye needs a shit ton of bombs/missiles with as much range as possible, the higher the better. Only once you have achieved air dominance you can bomb the enemy with those 20Km+ ammunition. So Türkiye needs alot of that 500KM ALBMs.
Thats not alot of smart bombs , thats just (3-7) days war agaist powerful enemy state ( israel , grece , iran , iraq , saudi arabia etc )
We are building Anka 3 and perhaps aslo kizilelma (2026) which can drop those 1 ton bombs in steath mode ! And in future KAAN (2029).
Should be more than 5k but also depends on the airforce needs and tubitak is probably the smallest producer hereThats not alot of smart bombs , thats just (3-7) days war agaist powerful enemy state ( israel , grece , iran , iraq , saudi arabia etc )
US Produce 45k per year those while Russia 120k
Türkiye perhaps 5k per year which must be increased to 10k
China ? perhaps millions if neccesary with automated robotics factories
If we had air superiority to drop 1700 MK84's in 3 days against Greece or Israel the war would be over by the fourth day. I agree that production should be increased but amount of air to surface bombs would definitely not be our main bottleneck in any peer to peer fightThats not alot of smart bombs , thats just (3-7) days war agaist powerful enemy state ( israel , grece , iran , iraq , saudi arabia etc )

Stealth doesn't mean invisible, they can still be detected and target by air defence systems or enemy planes or even manpads. As it has been proven by the F-35 that got it in Iran.
At least do some research before talking ffs, Assan alone was capable of producing more than 80k MK bombs before the government decided to mess with them. Hell, even their latest production line in Azerbaijan alone was capable of 10k. Even if Assan numbers include just bodies, we are more than capable of building tens of thousands each year.
Gezgin is currently under qualification/ testing and it will either enter service in 2027 or 2028
The CEO of Kale said Arat(Gezgin's engine) will enter serial production in 2027 so probably the same for Gezgin if not little more delayed
Read carefully before talking nonsense , i write smart bombs , smart kits that attached to dumb bombs , for just dumb bombs the numbers are different for all since is alot easier that guidance kit with tech , electronics etc
Exactly, when it comes to modern air fights, you have to fight as "cowardly" as possible, which means producing thousands of standoff missiles to decimate the enemy air defenses. After that, drop thousands of GAZAPs on their heads and kill everything on 2 legs.
