IMO aluminum body might be replaced by a composite body. Composite materials have better mechanical properties and lower RCS than aluminum and cost is not really a problem for a high-end product like Gezgin cruise missile.
A local engine with a thrust between 3500-4000 N might quickly appear...
I heard nothing but it is extremely possible. North African countries are very interested in Turkish weapons. Algeria also looking to shop with a big budget and Karaok= US Javelin with a very affordable price tag. Algeria is looking for an independent supplier. TR might step in but I doubt a...
I think at least 500 KTJ-3200 engines will be ordered tomorrow. Atmaca-Land(Surface to surface cruise missile procurement project for land forces?), Atmaca( for İstif class, some for OPVs for wartime configuration, and land-based anti-ship batteries for navy), and remaining SOM deliveries(C1/C2...
IMHO at this point, all T2 improvements/capabilities should be applied to T1. We shouldn't produce any T1 at all and after a few years of T2 production, we should switch to T3 immediately. That way we can salvage the project.
Tulpar is better than Kaplan-NG. TBH comparing them is no good. Tulpar is a heavy IFV Kaplan is sexy probably performs good but it is on the lighter side. Above all else, Altay and Tulpar share many things in common and are designed to operate together by the same company.
I like Korhan turret
It is probably a prototype ready for serial production running on the vehicle for mobility tests. We can certainly say that Azra is ready for serial production. That is big. That also proves that the BMC Power team is successful.
Korhan turret is great.
Altuğ has a very...
You can launch 3 different types of missiles with those launchers. 122mm/230mm unguided, 122/230mm GPS/INS guided, 122/230mm GPS/INS+laser-guided (can engage mobile targets). And if you combine this capability with tactical or even lighter UAVs which can send target information/coordinates back...
Those two protocols are probably connected. TF-2000 will have multistatic sonar capability. Multistatic sonars, ASW USVs, ASW UAVs will be nightmares for enemy subs.
IMHO solving the antenna galore is really hard. I hope İbrahim Bey considers writing an article on this. I also know for sure that there are added UAV/USV datalink antennas.
It seems like ARES-2N (AESA ) is improved to V2 (Version 2). AREAS-2NC (Cassegrain) stays as is. Band coverage is widened and improved now it covers a wider frequency area than 2-18GHz.
All I can say is there is a lot of pointless competition and product duplication. Roketsan is trying to develop its own RF and IIR seekers(probably via Tubitak SAGE). There is Levent and Gökdeniz-ER.
