Akıncı will %100 have it this year. Baykar and Aselsan cooperated in the design stage of this AESA radar so I don't see any problems integrating this into Akıncı. F-16 Block 30 Özgür will get it next year. The product looks way better and more mature than I expected. Next stop Gökdoğan test...

I don't claim Turkiye has better tech than China but I don't trust Chinese weapons, especially export versions either. I would rather have a weapon that satisfies the MIL-STD standards of NATO than a weapon with Chinese performance claims. On paper, Chinese drones are ahead, but users always...

F-22 is not in production.

It is not just about stealthier nozzle there should be IR suppression technology. F-35 has it. IR suppression system can reduce the IR signature of the engine considerably for a short period of time (15-20min) so that the fighter can't be detected at a long range with IRST systems. Chinese and...

There is a slight misunderstanding here. He meant second 5th generation fighter with a suitable engine. Currently, neither Russian nor Chinese aircraft have a suitable engine technology for a 5th gen aircraft.

We will most likely see Pars V at IDEF'23

Next year Turkiye will double its defense exports. Baykar plans to produce 500 TB2 and 40 Akıncı in 2023. Baykar will also produce DIHA. https://www.airwaypost.com/haluk-bayraktar-yilda-500-adet-tb2-unetecegiz/

TOGG factory will produce 175000 cars per year when it reaches maximum capacity. TOGG will be priced competitively vs internal combustion cars in the same segment. TOGG will switch to locally produced batteries from 2025 and will use Farasis GEN4 batteries which will be produced with local raw...

TISU has an MTOW of around 8000kg. It will be able to carry 2000kg of payload. Ballistic missiles up to 2000-2500km make sense without WMDs. They can certainly be deployed and used in a conventional war in a meaningful way. At current tech they are not only terror weapons anymore. The Iranian...

This system is for smaller UAVs. It won't work on TB2 or Anka and it is doubtful it will ever work against our small UAVs that have anti-jam antennas and Kerkes GPS independent cruise system. Anyway, we will probably deploy the TRNAV system in case something goes wrong.

Maybe they found a way. Maybe they modified an Akıncı and put a 5G base station on it to transmit data at a rate of 10 gbps to control station. You can transmit 100GB data in under 40 minutes with a 4.5G 375 mbps connection, at 1 gbps it takes under 15 minutes. You can transmit 100GB data in...

Neither Tork nor Akkor is delayed. There is no platform to put Akkor on. Akkor is planned for Altay and the next generation tracked IFV with Korhan turret. Leo2A4 TIYK will also have an active protection system but it will probably have Pulat like the M-60T as a cheaper alternative.

I would not only approve this move but I would also literally enlist to fight if need be. There are 4 things Turkiye should fight at all costs even if it brings ruin to our country. The first one is obviously defending against an invasion. The second one is protecting our rights in the Sea of...

Some of those facilities are so big like the Akkuyu NPP. Greeks need dozens, maybe over a hundred of long-range weapons to inflict damage. I hope they spent their precious munitions on targets like these rather than hitting airbases etc. In 2017, the US fired 59 tomahawks against a Syrian...

We are ahead in composites, rocket fuel, and missile subsystems like actuators, electronics, and avionics. They are probably ahead in reentry vehicles. They are outsourcing critical components from China.

Yes, this missile is dangerous. I expect the Turkish MRBM to be bigger and heavier than this with a similar or slightly higher payload capacity to reach ranges around 2000-2500km. The missile will %100 have stage separation. The missile will be in the ballpark of 6-7 tons launch weight with...

The missile mentioned as 150km is TRLG-300. UAVs will be used to light up targets behind enemy lines where the risk is high. Both TRLG-230 and TRLG-300 will also have air-launched versions.

Tactical ballistic missile is a sub-category of SRBM. TBMs usually have a range lower than 300kms. Tayfun is an SRBM if we take into account its max range of 750-850km. Tayfun is a TBM if we take into account its mobility and battlefield deployment(similar to Bora in size and weight). SRBMs and...

I guess CENK is possibly the ramjet anti-ship/cruise missile. There are at least 3 known ramjet missile projects. Gökhan ramjet AA missile(Tübitak), Akbaba ramjet anti-radiation missile(Roketsan), and ramjet anti-ship/cruise missile(Roketsan). Akbaba and Gökhan are airforce projects. Ramjet...

In 2023 Baykar alone will export 3-4 billion worth of UAVs and UAV-related equipment and services. I expect the Turkish defense industry to export at least 6-7 billion worth of goods and services in the defense sector.
