According to a Russian source Turkey actually tested Gezgin Cruise missile while testing the S400 system in Sinop earlier this year. The missile was launched from a submarine according to the source. if this news is correct Turkish navy may have a very big advantage in the eastern Med. provided...

I would also like to see ESSM Blk2 equivalent, G40 Blk2 from Roketsan as they are part of the consortium developing it.

Russians tend to add to their missiles’ speed, range and altitude figures as they want to sell their missile systems. Thus they exaggerate a bit. They were giving 400km range for S400 even though the missile with that range was not even ready. Turkish Army will never give you the exact...

We are all very angry for the way we have been treated. Also the double standard the two faced US has applied to Turkey. But at the same time we have to accept the fact that if they wanted to, they could decimate Turkish economy. In this COVID stricken and very difficult world, our economy is...

Exactly! YOU are MY bitch. You can’t go and buy stuff from my enemy. That is what it boils down to I’m afraid! Have an army strong enough to be on my side when a major war breaks out ; and I can replenish you with all the necessary equipment you know how to use, quickly when that need arises...

After reading this I can’t help thinking that the Russians aren’t very happy now for selling the S400 system to Turkey. Following the collapse of USSR, Turkey purchased S300 systems from Ukraine and Belarus less theır missile. In Konya they were extensively investigated. This was done because...

You are correct. Aselsan’s own site clearly says 61kg. I stand corrected! still 2 x60 kg launchers = 120kg Cats = 61 kg 6x mam l = 132 kg total = 313 kg...

Aselsan Cats flir weight : 60 kg mam L missile weight , 22 x 6 = 132 kg Mam L /mam C launcher pod/fixings for 2 or 4 missiles : 60kg https://3dwarehouse.sketchup.com/model/a9c0ddf1-da92-4896-b40d-d494d18ed1b3/ASELSAN-CATS-COMMON-APERTURE-TARGETING-SYSTEM?hl=en

To add to above the operational altitude, if needed will be as high as 40000 ft and there will be an increase of 4-6 hours extra flight time. This new version can operate at 30000ft, for 24 hours. it will also have the Aselsan CATS.

If they are buying the ANKA S with the new wing configuration and the PD170 engine, then the useful load capacity of this craft will be 350 kg. İnstead of 4 MAM-L it will be able to carry 6 MAM-L. https://www.defenceturkey.com/tr/icerik/anka-male-yakin-gelecekte-envantere-girecek-4028

This is the first prototype (PT1) of the TB2 UAV . It was called Erbakan! https://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=&ved=2ahUKEwjHuKGqi8ntAhWIQkEAHb2AB4AQwqsBMAB6BAgDEAM&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DWULMTjEWAg4&usg=AOvVaw11azjwPRtwxpXkMTLIrBeE

She should start negotiations with Turkey to purchase Anka , TB2 duo. That would be a good start for them. We may even agree on some degree of production under license!!😅

This is a very important project for us. Choice of Leonardo produced aircraft is quite good in the embargo climate currently we are experiencing. This project will improve Turkish Navy’s capabilities greatly. With current lack of incoming modern ships, will be greatly compensated by the...

If f16 was trying to evade an s400 lock, you are correct. But the article is, in my understanding, trying to point out that a stand alone s400 with a single radar and earth’s curvature playing its part can only be in a position to lock on an agile (terrain hugging/sea skimming) fighter within...

You are correct in pointing out the inconsistencies in the figures and information given in this article. M20 was the original copy of the missile. DF12 is derived from this. Then many other derivatives emerged with different ranges and weights. M20 does have bigger diameter And heavier too...

https://www.foi.se/rest-api/report/FOI-R--4651--SE quote: The S-400 anti-aircraft system is often said to have a 400-km range and be capable of intercepting a gamut of targets, from lumbering transport aircraft to agile fighter jets and cruise missiles, and even ballistic missiles. In fact, the...

I have listened to this speech. He does not say we are getting MTU and RENK. He said Germany and MTU had stopped deliveries. But now we have engines arriving and production is starting. It can be MTU/RENK or it can be another source. He did not clarify it.

Not quite! SM3 in it’s new version of blk 2 has an altitude of 1075km and a range of 1200km. So it can hit ballistic missiles when they are in their mid-course in space. It really does not have an exact comparable system in the Russian arsenal. SM3 missiles, potentially could neutralise all...
