It might be useful against kamikaze drones but soon UAVs will carry air-to-air missiles it will be useless against heavy tactical, MALE, and HALE UAVs. I guess with a 20kw laser system like the Tubitak Bilgem laser you can reach up to 5km depending on the quality of the hardware and atmospheric...

Sea clutter also becomes a huge problem when you cruise that close to the sea surface. https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/engineering/sea-clutter

This order is most likely related to 35mm modernized Oerlikon. As far as I can remember the original requirement was 100 batteries (100 AIC/Fire Control Vehicle, 300guns). It might also be related to adding Hisar-A vehicles to modernized Oerlikon batteries. Every fire control vehicle has the...

EZ, all other candidates promised another war to take back Karabag.

I doubt Thales will sign another license deal with Aselsan that is nearly impossible and I know that project Hazar(Cenk-S is the product name) has been going on behind the doors for a long time.

I expect it to be somewhere between NS-100 and 200. It uses the same modules as CAFRAD UMR and EIRS.

No, it is %100 national radar.

Some good news. Cenk-S rotating type AESA radar has a range of over 300km with state-of-the-art range and bearing resolution (better than Smart-S Mk2 which is a very good performer). TN holds Aselsans license production Smart-S Mk2s with very high regard. Locally produced Smart-S Mk2 radars have...

I expect terrorist warlord Haftars forces to launch an attack around September-october before the elections in December.

Atmaca is a network-enabled smart weapon. IMHO it is the best subsonic anti-ship missile available today.

It seems like the USA stroke a deal with Iran.

Some people say but she has sympathy for terrorists and actively made propaganda of the PKK. That is true and she should have been on the court not in the grave. Making propaganda of a terrorist group is a crime according to Turkish law. Deranged vigilante people shooting anyone who they think...

Gulenist detected. Hands-up! Put your "maklube" on the ground and stop reading "Sızıntı". Independent of whether Gulenists are a threat to Erdogan or not, first and foremost Gulenists are a threat to the Turkish Republic. AKPs collaboration or feud with Gulenists in the past/today/future...

There is an easter egg in the model workshop.

ADA-Class has space for 8x VLS(fitted but not with) behind the 76mm cannon. This info comes from the weapons officer of one of the Ada-Class corvettes. It will certainly be fitted with 8x VLS in the future. Ada-Class is an ASW corvette and at the time planners decided that RAM is enough to cover...

Good news KTJ-3200 turbojet engine passed the acceptance tests and gearing up for serial production. Serial production will start by the end of this year(I expect the official contract to be signed at IDEF). Integration of the KTJ-3200 to the SOM missile also goes on. Live fire tests from...

There are no plans for Milgems to get VLS in the short to mid-term. I think an 8 cell VLS will be added in mid-life modernization(~20 years is the time for mid-life modernization for Navy vessels) and this won't be before 2030.

Well, it is officially confirmed now. Let's see if the details I gave about one of the other jet UAVs turn out to be true. I heard some of them from the people close to the defense industry guesstimated the others.
