Tubitak radar is an advanced x-band illumination radar for air defense systems. This is probably a QWIP SWIR sensor. Aselsan has been producing QWIP SWIR sensors for a long time. 1440x576 QWIP SWIR sensor is the IR sensor of Aselflir-300T.

I don't think it will ever be armed with a 300mm artillery rocket TR(L)G-300 (585kg and 670kg for enhanced warhead). 230mm TRLG-230 is a more compatible option(210kg). IMHO best option would be new lighter medium-range anti-ship missile(MRAShM 300kg). It is IIR guided can be used against targets...

Umm sorry but TAI Anka is the first armed drone of Turkey, not TB2.

This part is important and it lines with the info I have. HD thermal sensors will be used in Aselflir-500C. The second half of 2022 for initial availability also suggests that the thermal sensors' design is already completed and taping out is happening nowadays. I expect 500C to mostly use...

I dont mind Bayraktars having a political side, openly supporting AKP or openly criticizing the opposition. What I care about is what you claim should be true(especially if it is a technical issue like the percentage of national contribution) and no favoritism should be done because of your...

Yes, I know it is old news. 77K means it is cryogenic and it has a 15x15μm pixel size. Product qualification was done in 2020. It is already in production. There is a similar project(640*512 MWIR T2SL) but with a 10μm pitch size(10*10μm pixels which means less than half the size sensor size)...

This is good and true but this shouldn't turn into favoritism. I have witnessed many people over the years on the internet bragging about Tb2s %93 national production rate meanwhile Anka was much more national and local. They were misguided for years. Bright minds like the Bayraktar brothers...

Şimsek target drones IR signature is quite low and it is even lower from the front section keep that in mind. And yes this missile has 360-degree engagement capability.

We might see this on Kargı kamikaze drone.

There are also things like protective coatings which reduces heat gain of IIR seeker through air friction from the lenses. Also cooling system of the seeker (It is an actively cooled IIR seeker)

Akya heavy torpedo is optimized against bigger ships. So this guy is also a serious ship killer. BTW live firing tests of Ulaq patrol variant are planned to be done in may which means phase one of Ulaq project will be completed.

There are already huge amounts of(thousands) Paveway-2 and LGKs in the inventory. This is a continuation contract of LGK project for Mk84s. Over a thousand HGK was also ordered in separate contract deliveries of which was completed in 2019. Production of HGK/KGK/LGK will never stop.

True. This is a smart message to the observers. Look our missile seeker can see targets over 20kms. Untrained people will think it is a shitty image. The real experts got the massage.

Yes. Datalink test will be done this year. All of the A-A and air defense missile projects other than Sungur MANPADS include a datalink.

All of the Turkish air defense and A-A missiles(excluding Sungur mandaps) have a two-way datalink.

Of course it is normal. What is not normal is claiming you have %90+ national parts while you were using widespread foreign parts.

Yes, most of the time companies say "milli tasarım" or "%100 milli tasarım" which translates to national design or %100 national design. Companies never give a national contribution percent. Baykar was an exception they were bragging like %90+ national and local. FOr example Roketsan or Tubitak...

I know the strategy very well and i'm not against it. What I'm against is to advertise a product %90+ national while it is not. We never advertised Atak or SOM as a %90+ national product.

Then you shouldnt have told tall tales to people. Baykar should have said even though TB2 is a %100 national design, most of TB2s subsystems are not national but we are working with our partners to nationalize them. They were talking about %90+ national contribution since like 2014. Wescam MX-15...

There are Turkish subs but i don't think they will join the party. Turkey can deploy all its naval might to Blacksea if need be.
