This has got nothing to do with having Iron Resolve! The more you stand firm against these trusts the deeper you sink in to the mud. Chavez tried it in Venezuela. Look where it got them! They have the largest known oil reserves in the world. But the country is starving. Iran’s Mullah’s have a...

Having substantial oil and gas reserves will not help us to be independent or richer or more developed. Just look at all the oil and gas rich countries. If you are not prepared to let the Oil-Trusts to take a big portion of the “Cake”, you have no chance. Even Russia is in deep economic and...

In 2013 Turkish SSM ordered 10 Anka-S drones with 12 ground control stations at a cost of 290million US dollars. Tunisia purchased 3 Anka-S drones and 3 ground control stations for a price of 80 million US dollars. Simple arithmetic with inflation correction, gives you around 20million dollars...

If there is a will there is a way! As per the article I shared from Defense Turkey Magazine, Meteksan is working closely with Baykar to incorporate it in to Bayraktar UAV’s. MILSAR is still in development stage. They were considering it for Anka too. The advantages it presents can not be swept...

TB2 specs were recently updated to 700kg MTOW and 105HP engine. The update does not incorporate these changes though!

I still think that for UCAV operations, MILSAR SAR UAV GMTI Radar is the way forward. It will operate with a 30km range be it cloudy, rainy, snowy. It can differentiate autonomously between civilian equipment/people and military. It can target accordingly...

https://www.savunmasanayiidergilik.com/tr/HaberDergilik/TUFAN-Elektromanyetik-Topu-gelisiyor Aselsan’s Tufan Rail Gun is still being developed. Around two years ago they had achieved a muzzle velocity of 3000m/sec and broken the record in Turkey. This means the projectile was leaving the muzzle...

No they are not claiming CEP of 1m. It is better than 1m CEP if all fall within 1m diameter. I remember during our live tests in Burdur during July, where my MIT Physics Doctorate bodies did all the calculations; they managed to hit the 5-7 km targets on the slopes of the hills all within 10m...

This missile has been in Roketsan’s site for quite sometime. But it hasn’t really gone in to serial production. Instead Turkish Land forces have said they were going to buy the Ukrainian version until Roketsan’s matured. Later the Konus missile with 5km range, were to be manufactured at MKEK...

Can anybody believe that statement? “ 6 consecutive rounds delivered with only a deviation of 1m. “ ? Even Excalibur shells are not that accurate! Whoever wrote that article needs to get his head examined. Even with the new ”Mesafece duzeltme system” that Roketsan has introduced they only...

Reaper is not limited to hellfire missiles. Quote: Armament: Combination of AGM-114 Hellfire missiles, GBU-12 Paveway II, GBU-38 Joint Direct Attack Munitions, GBU-49 Enhanced Paveway II, and GBU-54 Laser Joint Direct Attack Munitions Unquote. Aim92 stinger and MBDA Brimstone missiles have also...

No. Not really! 😇😀 I am dreaming about new version of TB2 and TB3. Akinci is well known to all by now. Until such time that it can thwart enemy radars and get herself accepted as battle-proven drone like her little brother, we can only wonder what it can do and how efficiently. There has been...

That is 93 kg in actual weight with a further 23 kg in electronics not taking in to account the weight of the holding brackets. T-129 number 46 in production. If that isn’t nose heavy, what is? Crude looking counter weights though...

https://www.savunmasanayist.com/tusas-yeni-nesil-anka/ Tusas is naming the latest version of it’s Anka as the Next Generation Anka. It is going to have a number of improvements over the older version, including a new wing configuration to give better fuel efficiency and longer duration in air...

Actually real acronym of VSTOL is Verical/Short Take-off & Landing. Harrier jump jet is VSTOL. https://www.britannica.com/technology/V-STOL

Very Short Take-off & Landing! =. VSTOL😃😇 (The true acronym is Verical/short take off & landing) STOL is more likely!

I fully agree with most of what you have mentioned in your article. TCG Anadolu‘s best chance as an “aircraft carrier” is with F35B. Also the elevator at the end of the ship is in the way. I can’t imagine a plane coming in with it’s hook hanging down to hit the end of the deck to catch one of...

https://www.defenceturk.net/bayraktar-tb2-s-ihanin-teknik-ozellikleri-guncellendi Bayraktar has updated it’s TB2 specs. Engine has gone up to 105HP from 100HP. Line Of Sight communication has increased to 300km from 150km. MTOW has gone up to 700kg from 650kg. Also a satcom communication...

https://www.savunmasanayist.com/roketsan-mesafece-duzeltme-kiti/ This guidance system is going to be a nice “poor man’s Excalibur. It claims that it will give to most artillery shells a CEP of less than 50m at any range. Roketsan is getting ready to supply these to the Turkish Land Forces...

Quote: The T129 was nose-heavy; to resolve this, 137 kg was added to the tail, causing the total weight to exceed the specified requirement. The higher weight may decrease the T129's service ceiling, which is detrimental for operating under hot and high conditions, like those found in...
