ESSM block 2 to has the same 25 + mile (around 45-50km) range that block 1 has. The only difference is that ESSM block 2 is much more manoeuvrable and is much less susceptible to electronic interference. This would make it more capable to intercept supersonic missiles too. Block 1 has semi...

Ismail Demir stated that the TCG-Istanbul will be ready to join inventory of TN in 2023. He also said that the Siper missile will be in use in 2023. In view of these two specific statements made by Ismail Demir, you will come to the conclusion that, by the time the ship is in use it will have...

Why should they? They have, on the contrary, tried to hinder our frigate Project by blocking sales of critical equipments. But if you know something we don’t, please share. US has patriot Pac3 that may resemble, to a degree, our Siper in terms of hit to kill capability and active RF seeker...

https://www.savunmasanayist.com/roketsan-midastan-hisar-rf-atisina-hazirlaniyor/ Roketsan is getting ready to fire from indigenous MILDAS a Hisar-RF missile. The final aim is to give the Turkish VLS system a quad packing capability. Edit: Thank you USA! You have given us the momentum to...

Unmanned Underwater Vehicles will also be subject to restrictions of sensor and communication limitations. Operating close to surface, these vehicles will be great. But at depth, with current technology, 30-40 metres is the operational radius. How is a sub to communicate at 300 metre depth with...

Roketsan was a partner for IDAS development, as you have stated. IDAS is now at a usable level. Reis Class subs may be fitted with this system. This is not really an air defence system like land or ship based systems. It is designed to attack low flying planes and helicopters, especially the...

It doesn’t look like it. Anyway, if it were, then this missile wouldn’t be Hisar-O+. It would be Siper.

You can’t get a better hit than that! The missile, from the pictures I presume, did not have an explosive head, But destroyed the target drone by hit to kill. It would be great if a range figure was also released though!

It is not just a tweet I am afraid. Mr Kotil, on 6th January said that the following day the 2 helicopters were being delivered to Philippines. Below news is dated 10th January and from an official “Republic of Philippines“ Philippines News Agency; https://www.pna.gov.ph/articles/1165003 Now...

Air launched harpoon uses semi active radar guidance and is void of a booster. Standard harpoon has an active radar guidance with a transceiver and has a sea skimming trajectory. It looks like two different guidance systems. Can this be the reason for a console?

@Anmdt must have meant Sub-Atmaca. Yes. But if memory serves, all harpoons in current combatants were going to be replaced with Atmaca missiles. To do this control consoles on the ships will be changed as well. So new Atmaca-Specific consoles are to be installed in all surface ships that will...

The delays occurring in LM‘s F16 production line; Are they due to parts not being produced fast enough or is it because they do not have the manpower/production space for F16 orders? If it is the latter TAI production line - even if it is at a slow speed - will still be a better choice. I know...

All the Aegean islands, apart from the so called ”12” islands (in red) and Crete, were lost to Greece post 1830 during and after Greek Independence. Remaining “12” islands, Crete and Thessalia and Ionina were lost in the 1912 Balkan Wars. Crete was given to Greece. But the “12” islands were...

YES. But with all this in mind, for the prospective order of Turkish F16s, doesn’t that make it more feasible for LM to let TAI produce the planes under license, and then sell them back to TAF via FMS system, getting more profit quicker?

I wonder if these are the correct numbers! I had recently come across a newspiece about Ukraine admitting to have over 20 TB2s. No country would like to release exact numbers.

First of all, welcome to the forum. What you are suggesting is the logical thing to do. But in order to realise what you are suggesting, most important part to produce - the engine - has to be indigenously manufactured. We still have a fairly long road to cover on that. We still have not got a...

With air to air and air to ground weapons ever improving, and as their ranges and capabilities exceeding most of the AD systems’ effective ranges, the future of the agile and highly manoeuvrable jet fighters may be questioned. We need fast jets to get our bombs and weapons, quickly to the...

Yes it has. They are in tandem formation like the ones carried by Aksungur. https://www.tusas.com/medya-merkezi/haberler/aksungur-12-mam-l-ile-28-saat-uctu Akinci can carry 24 MAM-L missiles, in tandem form like the Aksungur...
