Roketsan General Manager Murat İkinci had made the following statements in 2023: “TAYFUN is a deep strike weapon that can hit all elements that may pose a threat to our country. It has the precision to hit the target with pinpoint accuracy. TAYFUN’s development activities will continue...

I can see where you are coming from and understand your logic behind this. French are in a bit of a pickle. They need Allies with clout now. But in terms of US parts in Rafale; there are not many ! In fact, compared to the Gripen and EF2000, Rafale is fairly indigenously manufactured. Only a...

If true, this is a “proposition” or a “suggestion” made by a committee of the French state defence agency, to the government. We know that French have been quite vocal about the advances made by our defence industry, especially in drone technologies. So it is quite feasible for an agency as...

https://www.instagram.com/p/DFkaCZCgdsj/?utm_source=ig_embed Üstat, apparently Defenceturk magazine has made news of it too. But it is not specific to FCAS. It is a collaboration request to be initiated in many areas of defence industries.

Attack submarines are the most vital weapons of every navy. The modern attack submarine is, in fact, a wolf that hunts alone. Apart from protecting surface ships and convoys, they are the nightmare of every surface platform with their primary mission of stealth attack; and of coastal and deep...

They did that to show solidarity with Israel. There is also the point whereby a 50 thousand dollar drone is targeting a 1 billion dollar air defence system or a civilian and/or strategically important military settlement. Then you have to stop that drone with whatever means you have available...

To even contemplate shooting a 20 to 50 thousand dollar kamikaze drone with a state of the art 3 million dollar meteor is madness. A missile like meteor is specifically built to bring down fast fighter jets 30 to 50 times pricier than itself. For such drones, Koral and Sungur is the best...

You should be able to make the math yourself; Typhoon’s maximum meteor number is 8. 4 under fuselage and 2 under each wing. But in air superiority set up, it has 6 meteors and 2 WVR missiles. 40 planes will need 240 meteors if you set them up as air superiority fighters. There should be a good...

They have already cut the steel for MILGEM 9th and 10th ships. https://www.anadolushipyard.com/en/media/news/steel-cutting-ceremony-of-milgem-9 https://www.denizhaber.net/sedef-milgem-10un-sac-kesimini-gerceklestirdi-haber-117093.htm So it has gone past the decision stage.

A carrier will need a submarine to protect her. But an attack submarine doesn’t need a carrier to perform her duties. The clear advantage of a nuclear submarine is apparent, whichever way look at it. Quote: The submarine, due to its stealth advantage and relatively cheaper cost compared to...

For high quantity mass production : 1. You have to have the eco system in place - supply of outsourced parts 2. The eco system should have synchronised production rate as Tusas 3. Airforce/Defence ministry should have the necessary funds allocated Once these are in place then the only two...

https://turdef.com/article/configuration-changed-for-turkish-fast-attack-craft The FAC/Turkish fast attack boat design has been changed. Instead of CODAG propulsion set up with diesel and gas turbines, it is being redesigned to be powered by CODAD, diesel and diesel to give better stability to...

Nice; But these howitzers are, operating mostly 10’s of kilometres behind frontlines and stationary. The only time they will move is when they have to change positions or follow progressing fighting units. If they need to be moved to distant positions they will be carried on wheeled transports...

First of all you need to know that Pakistanis see Turks as their brethren. Not just because of the same religion they believe in; But due to their ancestry. If you check out Indian history before the British, you will find that Indian lands were playing host to no less than 7-8 Turkic states...

Bro, there is no Firtina-1 in production. The new ones will all be Firtina-2. She says at the beginning; ” All shooting and mobility tests have been completed“. “ it is going to enter inventory shortly”! So, going by these words it is a done deal. They are not going to produce the old baseline...

Moved to its correct place. Thanks for reminding. Haber Turk has made the news. It could be the body of a firtina1 they used. But since Firtina 2 still has problems with engine supply, this it seems to be the basis of the new version to go forward. The news piece mentions the howitzers joining...

Firtina-2 howitzer’s new version’s name has become GURHAN. But with a very important change under the hood. It has a hybrid electric drive train. Before sending it out to the field it can be charged in 3 hours from a plug-in point. Then a diesel generator, when needed, can keep the charge at...

No one is saying that an absolutely high end engine is to be produced. What KAAN will have is an engine that is similar to an F-119. Probably with few more extras like CMC parts in certain hot sections. Not really. There are loads of countries that can’t have access to F35. Also we know the...
