The two factory units were opened in August 2020 by Roketsan, that would produce as well as develop newer and more reactive energetic chemicals, both for fuel and for explosives. To achieve the correct and required energetic chemicals the industry is aspiring to, may take more than 9 months...

https://www.roketsan.com.tr/roketsan-uzay-sistemleri-ve-ileri-teknolojiler-arastirma-merkezi-acilis-toreni/ A new factory that will develop and produce rocket fuel and explosive materials, was opened last August with a view to overcome the deficiency we have in this area...

It is a real dilemma why the TN YTKB Tuzla boats are so void of effective weapons. 1 Oto Melara twin barrel 40mm gun 2 127mm Stamp That is it. Only now are they fitting them with Roketsan ASW rockets. In comparison just check out the same boat in the hands of the Turkmenistan navy; It has 2 x...

I wonder if the Aesa Radar being installed is GaS based or GaN based. TFX is definitely going to have the GaN based version. But may be because it is cheaper and easier to manufacture, on the F16’s, could they have opted for the GaS based one?

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...

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...
