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...

https://www.savunmasanayist.com/ulaq-dsh-adalar-denizinde-neleri-degistirecek/ Very interesting article. Worth reading. But the last statement is the killer punchline: Having had her first submarine in 1888 to balance the power projection in the sea of Islands , Turkey now, after 133 years later...

F15EX will cost us, 200million each. Empty, to the US airforce they are 87.7 million each. With parts, extra engines, maintenance package, weapons (As they will not give partial access to coding, we won’t be able to integrate our own weapons), etc. The unit price will escalate. Boeing just got a...

You are correct! Nothing can be as devastating and powerful as having a nuclear weapon. I also agree that we should have our own nuclear weapons. But without publicising it. A bit like Israel did. May be even stealthier. If only a guess is there that we may have possession of nuclear deterrence...

Not mentioned in open sources. Although it is 180cm in length, as it is going to be a modular design missile , the width should stay same throughout and length should vary. This is almost a copy of spear 3 missile which has a diameter of 180mm. So logically we are looking at a missile with an...

Gurcan Okumus’s statement: ”TÜBİTAK SAGE geçmişten günümüze yeni teknolojilerde lider olmak için çalışmıştır. Açıkçası geçmişte bu ramjetli bir füze de bizim büyük hayalimizdi. Ama şu an RAMJET teknolojisinde geldiğimiz noktada artık SCRAMJET’i yeni ileri hedefimiz olarak görüyoruz.” Clearly...
