This means there will be navalised versions of it. That is very good news! TCG Anadolu will have good attack heli’s on its deck. I only hope that Roketsan will also develop for these helicopters, an anti ship missile that is better than the penguins we had with a range of 50-100km. This can be...

It is good to know that things are progressing. But wasn’t Hurjet going to fly in 2022 ? It seems it is delayed a bit! ATAK2‘s maiden flight has been pulled forward, from 2024 to 2023. But in honesty, I had rather it was the other way round. Atak2 is going to be definitely a monstrous...

https://militaryleak.com/2018/08/21/falarick-105-gun-launched-anti-tank-guided-missile-glatgm/ There is a lot to share with and learn from these Ukrainians. I hope MKEK or Roketsan start developing these with our neighbour across the water.

I guess this is very good reason not to use Tanok or Lahat like missiles!! M63, the 105mm main gun of M60 is “rifled”

You mean Hurjet??

Good explanation and sorted out the question mark in my head! Thanks! This explanation also makes Brave Janissary’s solution number 1, immaterial!

Our Tanok missile, still being developed by Roketsan, is for launching from 120mm smooth bore guns. It is 11kg in weight, 984mm in length. It has a range of 1-6 km; most importantly it can attack tanks from top. Lahat is the Israeli version of Tanok. Fully operational Lahat is 105mm in diameter...

Yes he is Turkish and he was born in , and his parents are from Iskenderun, Hatay

DEPLETED Uranium is extensively used by US forces. It is the Uranium that has lost most of it’s “fissile isotope U235” . Non fissile element U238 is what it mostly has. But still contains 0.3% of the fissile 235 which is dangerous to humans. With a density of 19.1g/cm3 It is almost as dense as...

Most likely it will have Pulat. Last I checked Akkor was still not ready. Akkor is more advanced and my choice too. But lets see!!!

Kale is supported by P&W and RR. But not as experienced as TEI. They do produce certain parts of the f35 engine for P&W . It took them a long time (nearly 8 years) to produce a viable turbojet engine for the SOM and Atmaca cruise missiles. TEI on the other hand is owned 49% by GE. They have...

We are building a 5th generation fighter aircraft. It IS the latest and the greatest technology that is in use today. If we are not going to aim for a truly 5th gen air craft why even try? Tusas managing Director Temel Kotil himself said that we are trying to build a plane that is somewhere...

That modernisation was done by Aselsan. Who do you think is doing this modernisation now? BMC cocked up. So Aselsan is doing the current modernisation too.

If you investigate what is being done to the current leo2a4’s you will find that it is an extensive work that will make the tank survive today’s battlefield conditions. Just to name a few; ERA (explosive reactive armour) panels are being fitted to the tank against atgm attacks. It’s main armour...

According to this article, the Greek leo2a6 (hel) tanks are impossible to penetrate with frontal attack with the best sabot rounds around. That only leaves back, sides and most importantly the weakest top penetration and/or ATGM penetration. Roketsan’s Tanok has top penetration mode. So could...

There were 57 t-129 Atak deliveries as of June 2020. Each one costs about 50 million dollars. These are expensive pieces of machinery and easy to bring down with man pads. They have their uses; and are vital in the battlefield. But as said above we have enough of them. Because they are light...

I would classify Aksungur as a non deep strike platform as well. But why do you think they were testing it with 12 Mam-L and getting ready for 24 Mam-L? Why try Teber missile launch which is not a stand off ammo? May be they know more than we do!!

Aksungur, made with all the knowledge and experience gathered from Anka UAV, is the culmination of all relevant technologies to date by Tusas. But the main question still stays regarding it’s performance with respect to real battlefield conditions and how it would fare against the enemy radars...
