    Siper Block 1 is an interim solution with little effort. Just add a booster to increase the range of Hisar-RF and you are good to go. The real Siper missile will be similar to Barak-8, and with a booster, it will be similar to Barak-8ER.

    We are ahead in space tech as a whole compared to Iran. Don't forget launch systems are only a portion of the space tech. Also, we have one of the best hybrid launch system programs in the world.

    Kargı is both Harpy and Harop at the same time. The front/nose section is semi-modular (not as modular as Kuzgun which will be literally plug-and-play). As I wrote in the past payload options include one of or a combination of passive RF seeker, EO system, and SATCOM. The deliveries are going...

    Because of BMC :). We have to wait for BMC to turn one of their armored vehicles into an amphibious vehicle. Both FNSS and Otokar have amphibious vehicles that might carry the Sungur turret.

    Korkut is amphibious. This was never designed nor planned as an amphibious vehicle. And I doubt BMC tactical armored vehicle which will carry Sungur is amphibious but another amphibious vehicle can be selected from one of our armored vehicle producers.

    Hisar-A+ project is canceled and it is merged with the Hisar-O+ project. A low amount of Hisar-A+ systems are delivered and the project is stopped. Sungur and Sungur+ will replace Hisar-A+ mobile systems. Sungur/Sungur+ will be used from very mobile wheeled armored vehicles. Sungur+ will also be...

    Of course, when it is integrated into drones. There is a big weapon integration list so it might take some time.

    The best approach is our approach. Numerous artillery shells with course correction+low amount of high precision shells. Ramjet can be the next step for the high precision artillery shell after 2025 but I think the ramjet team will have their hands full with the scramjet project after 2025.

    At this point, everybody is interested in Türkiyes LHD-based drone carrier concept. Think about this MIUS based air superiority+naval attack, TB3 based recon, CAS, EW, and early warning for a fraction of the cost of a carrier and Hurjet and Atak-2 to complement this package as manned platforms...

    Interesting take on from Anıl Şahin on the topic of minimum requirements vs real product specs. I have been frequently giving similar examples in this forum. The minimum official requirement from SSB/Airforce for Akıncı 45k feet maximum ceiling 14-hour endurance 1000kg payload capacity. End...

    Although Akıncı is not a jet fighter it can shoot down other UAVs, helicopters, CAS/training planes and can act as a mobile air defense battery with its AESA radar and BVR missiles. Both Akıncı, Mius and F-16 Özgür will use similar radars so integrating BVR and WVR missiles on Akıncı will reduce...

    It is requested by SSB/Airforce. It will also help the future weapon integration process of MIUS. BVR and WVR missiles are not competing with each other they are complementing each other. Both BVR and WVR missiles will be used as I wrote above. It is logical to first integrate the WVR missile...

    Very likely but we are not sure as no concrete information is made available at the moment. WVR missile will probably be the first missile to be integrated into Akıncı.

    Studies started for the integration of national BVR and WVR missiles into UCAV platforms. We might see test launches from Akıncı this year. This will positively affect the Mius project.
