Because of BMC :). We have to wait for BMC to turn one of their armored vehicles into an amphibious vehicle. Both FNSS and Otokar have amphibious vehicles that might carry the Sungur turret.
Korkut is amphibious. This was never designed nor planned as an amphibious vehicle. And I doubt BMC tactical armored vehicle which will carry Sungur is amphibious but another amphibious vehicle can be selected from one of our armored vehicle producers.
Hisar-A+ project is canceled and it is merged with the Hisar-O+ project. A low amount of Hisar-A+ systems are delivered and the project is stopped. Sungur and Sungur+ will replace Hisar-A+ mobile systems. Sungur/Sungur+ will be used from very mobile wheeled armored vehicles. Sungur+ will also be...
A contract is signed for the construction of a pilot production facility for refining rare earth elements. The production trials of neodymium, lanthanum, cerium and praseodymium will start by the end of this year.
The best approach is our approach. Numerous artillery shells with course correction+low amount of high precision shells. Ramjet can be the next step for the high precision artillery shell after 2025 but I think the ramjet team will have their hands full with the scramjet project after 2025.
At this point, everybody is interested in Türkiyes LHD-based drone carrier concept. Think about this MIUS based air superiority+naval attack, TB3 based recon, CAS, EW, and early warning for a fraction of the cost of a carrier and Hurjet and Atak-2 to complement this package as manned platforms...
Interesting take on from Anıl Şahin on the topic of minimum requirements vs real product specs. I have been frequently giving similar examples in this forum.
The minimum official requirement from SSB/Airforce for Akıncı
45k feet maximum ceiling
14-hour endurance
1000kg payload capacity.
End...
Although Akıncı is not a jet fighter it can shoot down other UAVs, helicopters, CAS/training planes and can act as a mobile air defense battery with its AESA radar and BVR missiles. Both Akıncı, Mius and F-16 Özgür will use similar radars so integrating BVR and WVR missiles on Akıncı will reduce...
A new batch of TRG-300 Block III missiles is delivered to land forces according to the official SSB account on Twitter. It seems like TRG-300 Block III production is going on full steam.
It is requested by SSB/Airforce. It will also help the future weapon integration process of MIUS. BVR and WVR missiles are not competing with each other they are complementing each other.
Both BVR and WVR missiles will be used as I wrote above. It is logical to first integrate the WVR missile...
Very likely but we are not sure as no concrete information is made available at the moment. WVR missile will probably be the first missile to be integrated into Akıncı.
Studies started for the integration of national BVR and WVR missiles into UCAV platforms. We might see test launches from Akıncı this year. This will positively affect the Mius project.
Azerbaijan will get Akıncı UCAV. Oil and gas prices are surging. Azerbaijan has a huge amount of untapped gas reserves. Azerbaijan is extracting shallow gas reserves their deep reserves are untapped. There is an insane amount of gas in deep reservoirs in Azerbaijani gas fields.
Navy planned to use Atmaca+Harpoon together for a long period of time as risk management but this has changed after the perfect performance of Atmaca missile. The Navy is extremely pleased and the plan is updated. Now every available ship will use Atmaca as soon as possible. Harpoons will be...
The German government can't block sales it is too late now. If the German government blocks sales we won't pay any money to Germany, we will sue them (it is a commercial contract it is not like the F-35 project) on top of it we will finish submarines on our own albeit with delays. The embargo...
