The Akkor system has proven its effectiveness against top-attack capable ATGMs with a success rate of at least 95%.(*) It is equipped with both hard-kill and soft-kill munitions (for multispectral smoke screens etc) as an Electronic Warfare (EW) suit that consist of specific RF radars...

If the planning for the Hürjet is evolving towards combatant, then we must have access to an engine with a combat power of over 100kN. And this engine must be in diameter that there is no need to change the Hürjet airframe. Otherwise, this planning will either lead to a new platform developing...

Our man works alone...

Tehran as an administrative center was chosen and established by the Qajar dynasty. More broadly, it was hardly even a city until the mass arrival of the Oghuz Turks in the 11th century. The meaning of Tehran for the Oghuz is significant. There is a demographic and sociocultural background...

https://www.newsweek.com/iran-changing-capital-city-makran-2011455 Iran is changing its capital city to Makran, in the southern coastal region, from Tehran in the north for economic and ecological reasons, according to Persian-language satellite TV station Iran International. Newsweek has...

I think the Turkish Air Force and (maybe in the future) the naval air force will be top tier users. All remaining users are second tier. Just like any other combatant aircraft developer country. This doesn't mean that there won't be extensive off-set agreements, even off-site level maintenance...

https://wwwcdn.aselsan.com/api/file/ANTIDOT_2-U-S_EDPOD_ENG_akinci.pdf The TB-2 is certified for up to 150kg payload, but the maximum takeoff weight would probably significantly reduce patrol endurance that levels. On the other hand, engagement from a greater distance could be done after...

Ballistic missiles are not an area that I have in-depth knowledge of, but I have always found discussions only based on diameters(thus fuel amount) and range to be incomplete, and I think there are many more factors for the relevant military staff to classify the deterrence of these systems. We...

The Netherland is home to numerous global companies in areas like electronics, pharmacology, nuclear industry, optical modules, medical machinery, engine industry, petrochemicals and many more. It is one of the technology-intensive industrial centers of the Atlantic bloc. For example, ASML alone...

OK, it is most likely an MRBM, but let's add the note that RTE did not specify what kind of missile it was in his statement, only the range.

With so much importance being attached to the strategic strike capability, I wish Roketsan may suddenly show a naval type hypersonic missile for the MIDLAS developed over SRBM.

It's a perspective we often encounter in UK defense circles. It is not clear how much this will resonate with their MoD, but we cannot say that there is no interest. For the Royal Air Force, if British avionics are integrated, the Hürjet could be an excellent solution in terms of both industry...

Prof. Dr. Haluk Görgün, President of Defense Industry: “In 2024, our defense and aerospace industry exports, including NATO and service exports, reached 7.154 billion dollars with an increase of 29%, breaking a new record! This figure was 11% above our 2024 target of $6.5 billion." Let's see...

Is there a possibility that MCMV will also be included in the contract?

Maybe symbolic ceremonies to mark the concrete start of projects? Could they be test blocks? Or maybe the production of some blocks was started before the detailed design was completed? Or, more optimistically, the information given to the press about the stages of the projects was not...

UK, Italy and Japan have a decide to proceed with a common concept for the next generation fighter jet. So I think at this point, we can also speculate on potential GCAP collaborations. 🙃

I agree. Tr_tech doesn't deserve put in same page with some other mythomanic garbages. I don't know him, I don't know his political views, but the tweets that fall on my wall are usually infographics, and I think it is just good for our defense industry social media that there are people who...

I think the widening of the scale from the NATO standard ~12ft length to 16-17ft in the BVR air-to-air missile is an anecdote that can indirectly give an idea about KAAN's IWB design. We even know that a longer-range variant with similar engine to the Gökhan missile is in the design phase...

As far as I understand, the fact that ground tests have started in the project indicates that the prototyping of the engine has been completed to a significant extent. We were able to take Sungur, Gökdoğan and Bozdoğan from design to mass production in more or less 10 years. Gökhan may possibly...
