    The only way for BMC to lose an 8x8 contract is that they perform extremely badly at fields tests like not completing the test track. Even if BMC 8x8 is %30-40 worse than its competitor it will be selected. It is a done deal.

    It is about the use of terminology. If you say Hisar-U and Siper are different that means Hisar-U fills the gap between Hisar-O+ and Siper. If you say they are the same, a missile with a different name should be at that product segment.

    Turkish Rampage. It will be a great power multiplier. Fast and accurate. Bora-2 won't be revealed in IDEF'21 but there is indeed a Bora-2. It is confirmed. Ballistic missiles might be revealed in IDEF'23.

    There will be another missile between Siper and Hisar-O+/Hisar-RF Similar to Tubitak Tozkoparan concept. I expect a missile in lines of 60k feet altitude and 80-100km range.

    It will have the ability to be launched from a smart capsule(think of this as an empty torpedo) that can travel to a pre-programmed short distance and launch the missile from that spot. This will protect the secrecy of the submarine.

    Those OPVs will be expensive, especially in that configuration, I don't know how we can produce 10 of them. Note that we will also be constructing İstif class and we will probably put TF-2000 on the keel. The calendar of those projects is intersecting. Money doesn't grow on the tree. I'm afraid...

    I'm surprised this one has 76mm at the front and Smart-S Mk2 at the mast. Lol, this is a Milgem without RAM and Atmaca. I don't think we have enough budget to produce 10 of this. BTW even with the best estimates, 10x Milgem costs 2 billion. There is something fishy about this project. First, it...

    %100 dual-use fitted but not with ships. In wartime, I expect the quick installation of Mar-D Gökdeniz 35mm( with EO tracker and fire control radar without search radar) Atmaca and/or medium-range anti-ship missile Ares-2NCL compact ESM SUNGUR MANPADS launcher UMTAS/CIRIT launcher. None of the...

    You are right for advertising reasons it is exactly like that but we can operate a TB2 in Libya that took off from TR without SATCOM. There 2 different ways. We can either use signal repeaters to extend the range to reach Libya or we can pre-program TB2 on the ground via mission planning...

    Range decrease in MİUS mainly happens because it uses a low bypass turbofan engine rather than a combustion engine or turboprop engine. It has nothing to do with comms range or " speed of data flow".

    Wrong. It has nothing to do with comms range. You can still fly in circles without a SATCOM. Akıncıs minimum speed is 130knots and its endurance is 24 hour. 130knot=240.5km/h 240.5*24=5772km. If you take bingo fuel into account, it has a 5000km range and 2500km mission radius.

    You know nothing. -SANs are not state-owned they act and operate as private companies. Private companies can run their own tenders that are extremely fast and efficient compared to a state institution. That is why you won't see a shit company winning Aselsan tenders. State tenders work...

    ESM is wrong. It is called Aselsan AREAS-2N. The difference between ARES and AREAS is that AREAS has electronic attack capability(Jamming). It is an AESA based ESM and high-power DRFM Jammer. AREAS is not offered to everyone like Koral but might become available in time as next-generation...

    So true Atak is the one with TS-1400. True Akıncı will not exist as there is no Turkish engine alternative. By that logic, we would have no Atak choppers by now similar to Altay tank and still waiting for TS-1400 to become operational. And we would have no Akıncı ever. True Milgem also doesn't...

    If I'm not mistaken Algeria bought some UAE UAVs and it turned out that they are completely useless. The situation is brought to the court and it seems like someone will pay a big price.
