Korkut (4km) Laser air defense system (0.5km and 3km development targets are to reach 5km and 10km in the future)

Akkor project is in the closing phase. Aselsan is offering Akkor as a ready product for Korhan, Altay and Leo2A4 modernization projects. Akkor provides 360-degree protection including top attack.

Yes. Both ram paints and RAM materials are studied. There are several projects that are covering those topics. Maske(Mask) Projects are the first to come to my mind but there are more in Tubitak and I think Gebze institute studied on the subjects too. There are also companies that produce RAM...

Hisar-O+ IIR version definitely will be available this year. Hisar-RF will probably slip to Q1 2022. Hisar-U is the 70-90km missile that was mentioned before. It seems like it is coming better than expected (estimated range in design phase vs tested range today). I expect Hisar-U to be available...

It is an enlarged, scaled-up TB2. PD-180 engine, 1200kg MTOW, foldable wings, more durable landing gears.

Next generation wars=Distributed assets. I think it is not ok to put every egg in the same basket.

2 flight prototypes, 1 static testing prototype, 1 fatigue testing prototype will be constructed in the scope of Hurjet project.

Summary: New wing design plus the integration of the PD-170 engine enabled Anka to carry 350kg payload.

Engine difference+new wing design(improved lift force). TAI has been improving Anka continuously for over a decade now. I don't think there is much room to reduce weight.

It is a typo. I'm %100 confident that Ankas are delivered with PD-170s. You cant increase payload capacity by %40(250 to 350kg) with the same engine. PD-155 is still offered as an option though.

ANKA payload capacity is increased to 350kg after the integration of PD-170 and a new improved wing design. Improved Anka can carry 2x MAM-T and 6x MAM-L or 2x Aselsan miniature bombs and 2x MAM-L. Aselsan miniature bomb is effective against hard targets like aircraft shelters and battlefield...

Selling to third parties and making modifications on your own fighters are two different things. Özgür Mod project aims to modernize Turkish F-16 fleet selling it is a secondary objective. There is already one prototype F-16 that flies with a national mission computer. Block 30s will go under...

Turkey will replace APG-68 radar and the old mission computer with the Aselsan AESA radar and the national mission computer.

This is the biggest bullshit that I have ever heard in this forum. This is so disrespectful to the engineers and mechanics of the TAI. BTW TAI has not just experimented with arming ANKA, as you can see from the screenshot I posted ANKA-B was accepted into inventory and conducted missions before...

I don't think the French military should step in while Kamala Harris and her neo-commies are in power in Washington. Especially not before striking a deal with them or black lives matter French version might happen. And there is also another side to that debate I think some fractions of the...

BAYKAR caught lying again. Baykar announced that TB2 is the first UCAV of Turkiye from their official twitter account. In reality first UCAV of Turkiye is TAI Anka-B which fired a cirit missile in 2013 nearly a year before TB2.

3 Fırtına-2s delivered so far with MTU powerpack, 3 more will be delivered in June. A total of 140 FIrtına-2s will be delivered(250 planned, order cut down to 140 because of price creep). I expect the first Fırtına-2 with the local powerpack to appear next year. National Fırtına-2 powerpack will...

1500hp powerpack production target date is 2024. Transmission has a large British input(probably from CAT)
