Kargı will run circles around the current patriot radar. It has a very small RCS and it is very slow when...
The thing is our Kargi can listen and record signals and can send them back to HQ via SATCOM to be analyzed. It is an expandable but advanced SIGINT asset. It is more than a Kamikaze drone that searches the RF spectrum and homes on the target when the signal is acquired. You can look at our...
Well, Tubitak is developing a highly theoretical engine that no one ever developed an operational example of (You can't buy a CRDE engine from the GE). The first ignition test is a big success in achieving all the parameters. There are so many things that can go wrong with the first ignition...
It is not a harpy clone it has 6+ hours of loitering time with at least 900km+(150km/h*6) range. The exact endurance and range weren't disclosed due to operational reasons but we know from the TEI director Prof. Akşit that it has the range to go to London. Sandbagging is real with this product...
According to Lentatek and various defense industry reporters, it has SATCOM and 6+ hours of loitering time. A gimbal will be added for another variant in the future. Development progresses on that front. Serial production will start this year.
Tubitak did something very impressive. Even though it is the first ignition of the prototype engine, the engine ran for 10 seconds and the first ignition test is successfully finished.
Kuzgun-KY(solid rocket) will be fired from a USV and Kuzgun-SS(free-fall) will be launched from a UAV this year. Kuzgun-TJ(turbojet) test will be done next year according to Tubitak SAGE director.
Tal Rifat is a thorn in our shoe. If we can capture Tal Rifat we can sucure Afrin. If we capture Manbij on top of Tal Rifat we can secure all areas west of the Euphrates. If we secure Ain Al Arab and Ain Issa and Tall Tamr we can mostly secure all areas west of the Resulayn.
Hope it happens. IMECE was something like a scientific project to produce satellite subsystems with little military use in mind but It turned out to be a sub 1m resolution recon satellite. Great product.
Phase I of the operation Tal Rifat and Manbij
Phase II of the operation Ain Al Arab and Ain Issa.
Tell Tamr is also a separate target.
Armed forces are ready waiting for the order of the president.
BTW artillery shelling continues TAF hit the Al Ghazali south of Ain Issa.
TAF sent big reinforcements to the Bashika base in Northern Iraq. This is done in case Shia militias try to control the Sinjar area. After losing large areas PKK is also sending reinforcements from Syria to Iraq.
TAF also sent a 100+ vehicle military convoy to Syria.
