Q I think it was posted here because the missile used is eren which technically is a "Loitering Munition" but UAV thread makes sense as well

Looks like it was indeed Air-launched Sungur "Sungur Manpads destroyed the target while being used as air-to-air missile" - SavunmaSanayiTR editor Anıl Şahin Edit: SavunmaSanayiST edited the tweet to say it was Eren instead but their other tweet saying Sungur air to air was combat proven and...

To me the air to air missile used looks like a solid fuel missile with short motor burn and coasting. Could it be much rumored air launched Sungur instead Eren?

Baykar Sivrisinek was used at Efes 2026 exercise. It was already rumored that it was a finished product but this is the confirmation

WI I Wonder how many Kızılelma's will br in the first delivery? It was first announced as first quarter of 2026 then moved to second half and we have seen 2 Serial production Kızılelma's flying plus 3-4 in production so 5 could be a reasonable number I guess

Imo it doesn't really matter how much they upgrade it the system is good for what it is but isn't groundbreaking by any means. There are several Turkish systems that serves the similar purpose with more advanced methods and even then they aren't talked about that much because they aren't seen as...

Skydagger Hunter interceptors were also integrated in Tolga drone defence system 6.50 in:

Part about Gürz starts at 4.14 and in 4.50 Ahmet Akyol says that they brought prototypes for earlier expos and now Brought first serial produced product to SAHA.

Asleflir-600 has 50 km tested Laser designation range according to Ahmet Akyol's interview with SavunmaSanayiST 12:20 in:

According to SavunmaSanayiST interview with Ahmet Akyol Gürz that was presented in the Saha expo was not a prototype or Mock-up but the first serial production vehicle. It will enter both Air forces and Land Forces inventory

Yeah, I only read the given transcription before now after watching the whole interview he does speak about Air force specifically. It is an interesting choice I would think 35 mm would be a much more suitable option but there must be sone other considerations

This feels like a misspeak especially when rest of the speech is all about ship air defence. He probably meant to say for air targets because using 76mm airbust ammunition for air defence on ships has been talked about for a long time and sctually make sense. I can't see any reason why Air force...

Unrelated but it is little sad that there were deals for all the UAV projects but Anka-3. It was even ahead of Kızılelma with IWB tests, however, it seems that it will enter inventory no earlier than late 2027

Azerbaijan MoD will sign a deal with Roketsan for acquisition of Barbaros Shore defence system in SAHA

This could be completely wrong but from what I remember there was talks about Alpin having a lot of foreign parts that will be indiginized in Alpin-2 so maybe they are waiting for that? I would have expected an order too

Not just on an armored vehicle but on a hybrid/electric armored vehicle. I am not well versed enough on pros or cons of it to comment but seems like an interesting detail

Sorry about that forgot to post it at the end

Hefty export from Pasifik defrnce to an unnamed "friendly country" : 100,000 Merküt FPV drones 10 Alpin 25 dumrul 500 Deli 500 Korgan

I feel like our companies just straight up trolling now with using more and more insane specced kamikaze drones in each new air defense test but never saying anything about the drones itself lol. This is from Alka test footage shared today

Very interesting tidbit from Aselsan 2025 activity report: Aselfir-400 serial production deliveries to last users for utility helicopters, Gökbey and AB-412 has commenced. We will probably see a more full Gökbey configuration soon
