Yes. He says so far they have produced over 400 TB2s. They have a current yearly capacity of 200 TB2 . But next year they are planning to manufacture 500 TB2s and 40 Akincis.

Milden will be the culmination of what we have learnt and gathered in submarine construction technology. Having manufactured and modernised a good number of these boats in Turkey, albeit some work done under licence, Turkish submarine building technology has matured to a level whereby a totally...

@Blackhawk One very important point you may have overlooked is the difference between GaAs based and GaN based T/R modules. With more than 5-8 times more power output and receive sensitivity, GaN modules can fry opposing platforms’ standard radars as they are transmitting high powered microwave...

It will also propel Kizilelma. As well as KE propulsion, 4 of these will propel FAC type boats. Also industrial use for oil pumps and electric generation is being envisaged.

https://www.defenceturk.net/gozde-gudum-kitinin-testleri-basladi Gozde guidance kit’s field correction tests and integration tests have started. Gozde will allow 500lb dumb bombs to have pinpoint accuracy for shooting stationary and moving targets. They will be used from f16 planes and UAVs like...

Below is a beautiful anectode of how the victory of independence war came to conclusion. This is for the Turkish speaking members to understand and appreciate the importance of the day and how the war was won. It is the story of an artillery shell that went to and fro between the front and the...

Happy Victory Day to us all. 100 years ago today was the day the “bad luck” (makus talihi) of our nation came to an end.

1. KE is being shown at the Tenofest Karadeniz 2. It's structural integration is almost done 3. It will fly within the first months of 2023 4. It will be able to land and take off from tcg Anadolu. That last statement is very important. Especially it is mentioned that tb3 will also be operable...

They have been working on the TF6000 for over two years. Provided the first firing of the engine before end of year and/or we have a prototype by early next year, then another three years for the tests and integration, will make 2026 at the most before serial production. In the meantime, to fill...

https://www.defenceturk.net/aselsan-ile-tusas-ucak-modernizasyonu-sozlesmesi-imzaladi Tusas and Aselsan have signed a contract to implement OZGUR modernisation to the 35 or so Block 30 F16 planes in TuAF inventory. We know that the serial production stage of parts for the OZGUR modernisation had...

Of course economics are important. But when it is human lives in question and valuable assets you wish to protect, economics go out of the window. You may have to use a 100thousand dollar missile to stop a 1thousand dollar shell. You may have to use a hisar or even Siper missile to intercept a...

@UkroTurk Iron dome missile system of Israel is built to defend against incoming mortar and artillery shells and rockets as well as ballistic missiles and air breathing cruise missiles and planes. With the exception of unguided 122mm multi launch rocket systems artillery rockets like trg230 and...

ESSM has a “top” speed close to 4 Mach. It uses a dual thrust engine for propulsion. That means the fuel has two components : 1. A fast burning component that gives initial high speed 2. A slow burning component that sustains high speed. Our hisar and Siper range missiles use dual Pulse engines...

I think @Anmdt has given the answer to your post here. But I would like to add couple of points : 1. The booster used in Siper block 0 doesn’t necessarily mean that it will be used in subsequent blocks. It can be more streamlined and lengthened to accommodate quad packing. Use of special fuel...

It is not very healthy to calculate distance according to booster burn times. Especially not healthy comparing different missiles altogether. There are many factors that govern how far the missile can go. 1. the mixture used in the same booster can be different for different missiles. 2...

https://idrw.org/astra-mk1-demonstrated-long-range-against-low-rcs-target/ Banshee target drone has a 0.5m2 -1.5m2 radar cross section according to the format it is used as. So at around 100km a target that has RCS that is similar or less than a Rafale can be shot.

That is a missile with small enough silhouette to fit in to MIDAS national VLS in quad pack. Well done to all those who had a hand in it.

All forming the part of a complete “Turbofan Eco System”. Great news!
