    I doubt we can use Gökdoğan with APG-68. We will probably use Gökdoğan with nationally modernized F-16s with Aselsan AESA radar.

    TR Propulsion Systems

    This is not true. The most important metric for military vehicles is the total volume and power/torque per volume(energy density). MTU powerpack is very good because it gives such a big power/torque output from a very compact engine+transmission(powerpack). It means that...

    Tümosan engine is a lot better than comparable BMC engines (400HP and 600HP engines). Tümosan Engine Volume= 7.8L Power=540HP (69 HP per liter) Torque=1600Nm (205Nm per liter can give its torque at both low and high RPM) BMC Azra Engine Volume=12.8L Power=600HP (47 HP per liter) Torque= up to...

    I'm not against selling the Koral system with precautions. Export software and removal of Turkish threat libraries will do the job. Koral-II is right around the corner. Koral is of course offers a strategic capability no other nation has around us with the exception of Russia(Koral is a full...

    EZ Otosan doesn't want to involve in military affairs. Otosan doesn't want to take the risk of getting embargoed or lose its partner Ford and lose 3 billion worth of sales per year. Otosan wants to stay as a purely civilian company. Otosan has no collaboration even with Otokar. Should they work...

    You are right it seems like Morocco ordered 13 TB2s. At this point, there is a big waiting line for TB2s. Negotiations are going on with a dozen countries.

    TR F-16 Özgür | Hürkuş - Fighter Trainer Aircraft Projects

    A 20 million $ contract is signed for some hydraulic components I don't we should exaggerate this. It is a very low-profile contract. There is no merit in producing every bolt and nuts in a 5th gen fighter.

    Ulaq ASW version has a fiber optic acoustic sensor specially designed by METEKSAN for this purpose. But the real capability(signal processing, command, and control, software) will come from the Aselsan-Armelsan workgroup. Think about this MILGEM ASW version(with hull-mounted sonar and towed...

    TR Defence Exports & Updates

    There is definitely an interest on the Moroccon side but an export license for LHTEC engines is needed for the export of T-129 Atak. IMO Ejder Yalçın can be sold anytime. Morocco is also interested in acquiringing TB2s.

    Turkish perspective of Maghreb is don't delve into the local disputes and concentrate on the big game which means denying any post-colonial imperialist influence over the region.

    Kargu will be a menace on the battlefield. That RPG warhead can make short work of armored vehicles with top attack and capability to select the point of impact. Kargu-RF will look for V/UHF signal sources. Kargu RPG will hunt armored vehicles and Kargu Claymore will hunt soft targets. They all...
