Yup, see the towed sonar and the EW mission modules next to it on the ground. This model probably just shows all the possible mission modules Saudi is interested in. Doubt you'd need launchers for sonobuoys when you can just drop them from the aft. Naval News crew says they are for Kuzgun, I'd...

Yup, Kuzgun was always presented as a multi use missile family. From 2019:

20! Kuzgun missiles on the Marlin for Saudi. https://www.navalnews.com/event-news/wds-2024/2024/02/wds-2024-royal-saudi-navy-eyes-turkish-usv-procurement/

It's the same 13 vehicles for the highway program along with 10+ other Turkish products being made news again and again, it's getting tiring.

Turkey may be requesting using F110 engines in UAVs as well, interesting. Maybe for a bigger KE, or the non afterburner F118 for UAVSOJ or global hawk stand in?

A talk with FNSS CEO on Alpha.

Now this is just sad man. TOR there just looking at nothing.

They announced last year that new 40 ton Arma II would be also offered with Ford Otosan's(part of same Koç conglomerate as Otokar) 720hp Ecotorq engine. Maybe Tulpar can also get it in the future if it's enlarged.

The hacker group Prana Network hacked the IRGC Sahara Thunder mail server and published data on the Shahed drones' deal with the Russian Federation. - In 2022, Russia planned to produce 6,000 drones in the next 2.5 years. -A drone price $193,000 if 6,000 units are produced. - Total worth of the...

Yuh. Near superhuman performance. Following the earthquakes OnThisDay in 2023, Turkish Air Force flew 6,320 sorties in a month enabling relief efforts. This is equivalent to their annual transport flight rate. 215 sorties a day with 70+ total aircraft.

Baykar's 3 billion$ Akıncı sale to Saudi Arabia finally detailed. 60 Akıncıs, to be license built in Saudi Arabia, including munitions. First delivery for 2025.

Oh my god, finally a nice high quality to look to both Sungur and its launcher. Fatih Mehmet is my hero.

I agree, but side facing launchers shouldn't be this big of an issue for standoff ranges of 40+ kms, no? For Kuzgun however....

Not necessarily. Majority of our bases in Iraq and Iraqi border are in high terrain, with frequent fog cover that will no doubt hamper laser's performance. Laser is necessary, but is in no way a solve all solution. And without a doubt is much more expensive so would only be used in larger bases...

Aselsan touted modular structure for Şahin in the past so a more comprehensive C-UAS package they can offer to Gulf(as we'll never pay for such a thing) can be made.

Aselsan's Şahin pedestal mounted 40mm gun with ATOM, made specifically against drones, would have a lower range against drones compared to a 50 cal on paper, at I believe about 600 meters. But in reality a hand cranked quad 50 cal turret without any real optics will be effective at 500 meters at...

I don't think this is the win you think it is.

Certainly. But when the 65 year old M113 decides to throw a fit and breaks down when the base is under attack or if the FPVs are too fast for the hand cranked 80 year old turret, questions arise. We are not Ukraine being invaded by Russia. Number of bases we actively defend on the contact line...

Grandpa in action. :)

I don't confuse.. Saffet Uyanık twit I linked mentions it.
