I Hope Sungur in production is the + version with improved specs! One can only hope!!

If you watch the Okumus’s video from min 37 onwards, he is talking about the accessibility to F16 planes with respect to integrating our own ammunition. He is saying that there is no restriction and we have a way to integrate any new ammunition we make, to ALL f16 planes. If this is the case...

If cloud cover is blocking your TB2’s view, why not target with a SAR-GMTI-RADAR like MILSAR asper the one below, of Meteksan. https://www.meteksan.com/en/products/radar-systems/milsar-uav-sar-gmti-radar...

Soft launch is; 1. Safer. (In general, unless it does not ignite after launch) 2. You can fit more missiles in to a given volume as there are no exhaust ducts. 3. Has quicker response time and imparts more energy to missile. 4. Same missile will have more range and kinetic energy left in...

Battlefield Zeppelin Style balloons like the Aselsan’s “KARAGÖZ“ will be ideal to view beyond line of sight distances. At 500m height a balloon like Karagöz will give an effective radar range of 80+km. these balloons can carry equipment like CATS and ATMACA to see and target multiple distances...

Very logical line of thoughts! To add; By reading between the lines of what Mr Gurcan Okumus was talking about G40, and the way he hesitated and mentioned that the G40 was not contracted to be produced, I can’t help but think that the TN is going for MDAS launched Hisar RF and may be in...

I too , can not understand how the G40 has not been requested by the the Turkish navy. We know that there is a good stock of ESSM in the inventory. But the new ships with MDAS or EDAS will not be able to use ESSM. Since US is not selling MK41 VLS either, we have no choice but use our own VLS...

With your permission the translation actually says : UK would have preferred to see a “multilateral” peace keeping force in Nagorno Karabakh. In other words ; Not just the Russians. But a peace keeping force formed from many countries’ forces.

You are correct! There is a mk84 version with HGK however. As newer and more versions of KGK is coming it should only be a matter of time that a MK84 version of KGK is introduced as well. I have a feeling that the reason they did not introduce the MK84 version of the KGK was because there is no...

https://www.savunmasanayist.com/tubitak-sage-gurcan-okumus-aciklamalar/ Great article! Update on the previous interview Mr Okumus of Tubitak-Sage ! Most interesting part was the Som-J being ready soon, and KGK (Turkish JSOW) being more widely used especially with laser seeker head. SOM-J as we...

It is true that no eastern plane will be a solution for TuAF. Chinese and Russian planes have so many drawbacks for us that, it is just not worth it. Our way out is, through our own production of TFX and Hurjet. I only hope that we have the f404 engines for the prototypes, in hand and that we...

If you are going to ferry troops and cargo and not get involved in combat , why would you need militarised engines? Besides , the prototypes are not fully representative of some of the future versions envisaged for Gokbey. When an engine that conforms to military needs is produced, off of the...

Yeah! It seems like a site that takes the piss out of international affairs. As per @Anmdt mentioned above.

Hungarian defence ministry’s technical committee will be inspecting the viability of Turkish UCAV’s and UAV ‘s with respect to testing them for the Hungarian armed forces. @SavunmaSanayiST.com as the communication language of the forum is English, I took the liberty of translating your post...
