Also MKE was developed Fatih 155 mm Sph end of 90s but army didnt accept and started Firtina project https://www.defencetalk.com/military/photos/fatih-155mm.38339/

Who buy weapons take orders. We are now a country that produces and even sells weapons. If we buy weapons, we nationalize them, obtain source codes, or obtain special permits. As far as I understand, we won't buy weapons unless they accept these terms, and that's the way it should be. Selling...

I understand clearly, we still need a few years to predict the course of events regarding tank projects. Since there is no concept yet regarding tanks due to the drone threat, Turkish army may move a little more cautiously and slowly.

According to the information given to the public in 2030, we will probably have a tank inventory as follows. Altay (T1 + T2 ) 250 Leopard 2T 350 M60T 170 M48s are 750 completely out of inventory, Leopard 1s are 400 reserves, M60A3 are 650 reserves So, who is Roketsan's MZK modernization...

Agreed, we need auto grenade launcher with machine gun or auto cannon which integrated with Akkor system to prevent the drone threat.

Has it really been delivered, friends?! I can't be happy, what if it's a dream? it took long time, man!

You said very well, thats the point actually.

I suspect there's also a potential for domestic ammunition integration, and it could involve other permits or technology access we don't know about. Turkey is very tricky when it comes to negotiations. Recall our last air defense purchase, where the parties were forced to offer incredible...

I missed that part, thanks for the info. I was thinking that once the F404 engines were approved, the F110 engines would probably be sold as well. So, the project has been rescheduled without the F110 engines. Everything depends on the success of the TF35000, then.

A common statement from TAI executives and Defense Industry officials is that the first phase targets 20 KAAN (block 10) aircraft, often referred to as 2028 delivery. This alone guarantees 20. The same sources also mention production ramp-ups ("2 aircraft per month in 2029" or a rapid increase...

A prediction is already forming in my mind. Would it be too dreamy if we made a list for 2030? 20/40 Kaan 240 F16 Özgür2 40/80 EF2000 T3/4 50/70 Hürjet 50/100 Kızılelma 30/50 Anka3/4 Approx 500+ We will also have Akıncı squadrons that we can configure for air-to-air missions.

Frankly, I estimated these figures based on our expansion into Africa and Asia, considering the potential air bases we will open in countries with which we will cooperate in the future. But your statements are worth considering. However, it's also true that once at least 100 Kaan aircraft are...

While Türkiye's current economic situation is challenging, its location on energy and trade routes means it will undoubtedly have a strong economy in the future. Consequently, it must possess a powerful air force to maintain the balance of power in the region. Otherwise, we cannot even protect...

Just as important as developing such systems is their effectiveness in the field. To ensure their effectiveness in the field, the effectiveness of detection sensors in challenging weather and terrain conditions, and the thorough training provided to soldiers to use them effectively, are crucial...

Turkey should upgrade all its F-16s to the Özgür-2 level and purchase approximately 120 EF-2000s. This will not affect the number of Kaan fighter jets we will produce, because Turkey is not a country that will be satisfied with 400 or 500 aircraft. We have global projects, and to secure them, we...

Where were the Israeli special forces throughout the war? They were the only force capable of fighting against Hamas, but they chose to hide throughout the war, and Palestinian fighters found and destroyed them! They hid inside tanks, damaging civilian settlements, bombing civilians from the...

Friends, shooting down drones isn't difficult; the challenge is detecting and tracking them. There's not a single battlefield-proven system in the world, including the ones we've developed. Currently, the most practical solution is to train soldiers to intercept drones with shotguns and then...

It is truly disgusting that the most heinous massacre in human history is being committed and then portrayed as a success!

There are also studies on titanium technology used in body production, I think the desired level will be reached in the 2030/35s. Ongoing projects Project / Institution Stage Description ETI Maden – Titanium Dioxide Development Project R&D / Pilot Works on extracting TiO₂ from ilmenite ores...

The Chinese are generally open to new ideas and eager to experiment. Because they don't face financial constraints, they don't hesitate to add tanks of various designs to their inventory. In the future, they will test these tanks on the battlefield and choose the best candidate to invest in.
