    No they are not. Certainly, all of those companies can develop their own kement if not already. Another company that produces datalinks. https://www.milsoft.com.tr/index.php/portfolio/data-links/

    If F-500C doesn't see a major delay I think phase III will include a new FLIR. I don't think R400D is a leap that is big enough to justify a new FLIR.

    We have another project for it aka supersonic AShM. Atmaca is designed as a subsonic missile and can't be turned into a high supersonic missile unless it is redesigned from the scratch. High supersonic is Mach 4+ BTW and Brahmos is nowhere near that fast.

    I'm very happy for Idealab. Idealab can specialize in micro turbine engines and earn money to sustain its R&D projects. Kale shouldn't go for engines under 2000N thrust.

    After the F500C project, we won't have any problems with FLIRs anymore. Aselflir-600 is like a prestige project.

    There are plans to turn Kargı into a product family. EO version (to hunt down Tanks, MLRS- lessons learned from Karabagh war), Jamming version, and a premium version with SATCOM, two-way data-link, passive RF seeker, and EO (jack of all trades like Harop).

    Why there is a two-way datalink? -to send the performance data like altitude, speed, remaining fuel, engine RPM and coordinates back to the HQ -to send the signal data back to the HQ. The passive seeker will pick up multiple signals. HQ will analyze the signal and pick a target to engage. The...

    The thing is our Kargi can listen and record signals and can send them back to HQ via SATCOM to be analyzed. It is an expandable but advanced SIGINT asset. It is more than a Kamikaze drone that searches the RF spectrum and homes on the target when the signal is acquired. You can look at our...

    Well, Tubitak is developing a highly theoretical engine that no one ever developed an operational example of (You can't buy a CRDE engine from the GE). The first ignition test is a big success in achieving all the parameters. There are so many things that can go wrong with the first ignition...

    It is a proximity sensor. When the A-A missile gets close enough to the target it makes the missile go boom.

    It is not a harpy clone it has 6+ hours of loitering time with at least 900km+(150km/h*6) range. The exact endurance and range weren't disclosed due to operational reasons but we know from the TEI director Prof. Akşit that it has the range to go to London. Sandbagging is real with this product...

    According to Lentatek and various defense industry reporters, it has SATCOM and 6+ hours of loitering time. A gimbal will be added for another variant in the future. Development progresses on that front. Serial production will start this year.

    Tubitak did something very impressive. Even though it is the first ignition of the prototype engine, the engine ran for 10 seconds and the first ignition test is successfully finished.
