Speaking of BARBAROS, I think this is important, especially down in the south (Damn, talk about the good timing for TÜBİTAK's recap) https://turdef.com/article/tuebitak-completes-oth-radar-project-for-the-turkish-navy

Everyone been focusing on TÜBİTAK SAGE activities in the 2025 report, but BİLGEM been up to some nice stuff too in radar stuff

Agreed, while I am totally fine with them producing TM100, gas turbines is a far bigger deal that takes time, people, and resources, especially those to power unmanned fighters. Even though they are opening a department the other challenges stand. At most, I would support some small turbojet...

I feel like TOYCA-05 should be put on K2, as a literal multiplier. Think of you launch 5 K2s from TCG Anadolu in a saturation attack, each loaded with two or more TOYCA-05s

I think a simpler EO/IR will significantly reduce per unit cost since Bayraktar TB2 is generally used with high-end stuff when it comes to that. What I'm hoping for is a modular warhead loading so that it can potentially carry smaller kamikaze UAVs either to saturate defenses or strike some...

Even if the french are friendly I wouldn't trust my dog with them, let alone engines. On the RUAV part yeah, we at least should have a turboshaft powered thing at this point. But I'd rather have a STOL cargo UAV.

this can go two ways considering the current projects and how would you test a turret as in the news, but I would give probability more than the usual for the interim solution part since we know the interest in truck/trailer mounted 35 mm weapons. Of course, KORKUT 100/35 SB is the peak of this...

Sure, it was put on three AFVs but this is kinda a different matter, operationally. This probably means the Army wants an interim solution until they finish KORKUT 100/35 SB

https://turdef.com/article/aselsan-integrates-sarp-100-35-ifv-turret-on-a-flatbed Here is something very odd, SARP 100/35 aka KORHAN is on a flatbed platform, idk if it is a truck or a trailer, interesting regardless

I remembered a time that my classmate insisted that I shouldve used electric propulsion for cargo helicopters because "batteris gettin bettuh" or the time that a well known news site thought putting this on TCG Anadolu was a great idea even after years showing that it wasn't feasible at all If...

I will probably get clubbed to death by Gökbey design team for this

Unirobotics also put Echoguard on TRAKON LITE with M134 minigun, I guess we have our own mini Phalanx CIWS now They previously put the radar on TRAKON 30 and even built on the idea further by pairing the RCWS with a mast for Echoshield

https://turdef.com/article/goekberk-laser-weapon-gets-a-radar-upgrade-with-aura-200-g GÖKBERK used to have AURA 100-G, which is kinda some years old at this point and limited to slow UAVs. On the other hand, AURA 200-G is paving the way for countering fast moving stuff and possibly C-RAM, for...

In case y'all are worried about weight, AW159 which is literally in the same weight class with the same type of engines can comfortably carry two torpedoes or even 20 Martlet missiles

Yarr harr harr and here we are, Naval Gökbey, this time with repositioned stuff, considering fuselage sonobuoy launchers

stubby sponson pylons are mostly less complicated since they have the weight closer to CG and have less workload when making it work at design stage Also they provide some good clearance for the door gunners still another option is going the same way as AW149

Speaking of Gökbey variants, armed transport/SAR could be nice for the Army, maybe I will add door HMG/Gatling too
