It can be everything but Göktuğ. But my money is on the cut-down version of the Siper aka Hisar-U. I expect a ~100km Hisar family missile(a resembling geometry and a dual pulse engine) with an RF seeker. Siper should be the same missile with better guidance (Ka-band AESA RF+IIR) and added...

The contract includes those. There is nothing to fuss about. That's why it is called T-70.

It doesn't matter we won't be operating our LHD before 2023. Even the announced "delivery" date of March 2022 is very doubtful. It might slip to the second or third quarter easily and I have suspicions that it might slip even more. The initial operational capability can be gained in 2023 with a...

It might be but we can't know it for sure. Mar-D is an X band AESA(basically like a fighter radar) radar. It can certainly be used to illuminate a target for a semi-active RF-guided missile if Aselsan wants it or TN demands it. I doubt adding the capability to illuminate a target to MAR-D and...

It depends on the booster. You can even achieve over 100km. Look at the design of Aster-30.

Kütleeşdeğer Test Mühimmatı. Mass equivalent test munition. It basically has the same geometry, mass, and mass distribution as the real missile. It is used for airborne carry, flutter, and separation tests. ITM stands for İtki Test Mühimmatı= Thrust test munition.

I think we should force Greece to spend more on defense while we continue spending on our national defense sector. We have 200 UAVs in the inventory we should force Greece to purchase that many. Force them to buy frigates, submarines, torpedoes, ballistic missiles. Money paid for those is...

Yes, they are but TN wants brand new navalized T-129 and T-929. Those AH-1Ws are very old. They have little flight hours left on them and it isn't worth investing more into those.

Hürkuş-C costs under 20 million. I don't know where this 40 million figure came up.

https://www.defenceturkey.com/tr/icerik/som-j-5-inci-nesil-asuw-fuzesi-atis-testi-icin-geri-sayim-basladi-4733 According to Mr. İbrahim Sünnetçi Som-J (540kg) is getting lighter. Specs will probably be updated like Atmaca (800kg to 750kg).

There is a project dubbed fighting UAV. Sungur will indeed have an A-A version.

It depends. Do you want to buy weapons? Do you want to setup a maintenance facility in your country? How many do you consider buying? The list goes like this..

Karaok has priority but I think Roketsan will revisit Cida. It is a good concept that fits in between RPG and Karaok.

I think Ukrainian engines are very suitable for diesel-electric hybrid setup with their compact size fuel-efficiency and high power output, they are however don't generate a lot of torque due to engine architecture but this won't be important in a hybrid design. IMHO we should think out of the...

Turks have always been monotheistic even before Islam. Turks were monotheistic before Arabs.

Judaism is also an Arabic religion so is Christianity. Arabs and Jews share common ancestors. Arabs are clever people. There is something called cultural imperialism. For example Troyans or ancient Macedonians are not Greeks but they are Hellenized by adopting the traditions of Greeks. When...

Erdoğan doesn't accept himself as a Turk. I don't think we should be calling him Turk because he clearly doesn't want that because of ideological reasons he only identifies himself as a muslim. He is also ethnically not a Turk not that it is important but it is the reality. He has Georgian...

Islam is the religion of Arabs whether we like it or not. If you believe like an Arab, If you feel like an Arab, If you trade like an Arab, If you pray like an Arab, If you wear clothes like an Arab you are indeed an Arab. Not that this is a bad thing. Being Arab is perfectly fine nothing wrong...

This is one step away from the Taliban. He is basically saying let's make all rules in social life, trade, economy, and judiciary based on Islam. Taliban exactly does that.

Nothing as of today other than it will be a continuation of current ATGM projects. So don't expect anything exotic like Kuzgun-KY. Warhead and diameter will probably be the same with UMTAS., A bigger rocket engine for more range and a better IIR seeker will probably be added for the NLOS version.
