TSK Super şimşek in Anadolu Ankası by Cem Doğut

Mete Smart mini missile weights 1.3 kg and has ranges of 2 or 1.25 km when launched from Air or land. Which is a huge increase over the previously disclosed 1 km general range. If the cost is reasonable it can be a very formidable munition for slightly larger multi use drones.

Enemy SA-12 Radar will be destroyed by Drone launched Mete Mini Smart missile as a part of Anadolu Ankası exercise.

Süper Şimşek with Decoy payload used in Anadolu Ankası to locate Enemy Radars

But do we really need a 4000 km range, what will the extra 3000 km range over a 1000 km drone will provide for us? I would much rather take 4 small 1000 km drones than 1 4000 km one

- 41 Naval vessel are being actively constructed (37 for Navy and 4 for Coast guard). 9 new constructions will start in short duration - A LCT Bayraktar class delivered and another started acceptance trials - UAVs have been inducted to the Navy and has conducted strikes on USVs - 5 types of...

Akata(sub-atmaca), Akya heavy torpedo and malaman smart bottom mines are all inducted to Navy inventory according to latest statements made by admiral Ercüment Tatlıoğlu in Mavi Vatan 2026 exercise. Akya was also live-fired against a decommissioned target ship from a Preveze Class submarine. I...

Tayfun Block 2-A1 Canister is 3500kg and has 7200 x 1200 x 1400 mm dimensions. Block 1 has launch weight of 2300 kg and 610 mm diameter. Since I very much doubt canister alone weights 1200 kg, we could say that block 2-A1 is 20-30% heavier and also bigger.

Kızılelma S2 system identification test

It was not quite clear to me if the 5 times the production is happening with the new faculry that just opened or will happen when the investment that were announced today materialize. It is a good number regardless

Honestly I am more happy for Kara Atamca and Çakır finally being admitted to the inventory. It has been a long long wait

There was a test with Murad + Toygun and I don't think Karat would draw significantly more power than Toygun so space would be the main problem I guess

Özgür-1 modernisation is ongoing and is planned to be finished by the end of 2026

Murat ikinci specifically addressed this claim: "All ballistic missiles can reach speeds over 5 Mach. What is important here is going over 5 Mach during the course and striking the target over 5 Mach. When we look from this perspective Tayfun block 4 is a hypersonic ballistic missile"

One interesting thing about YDYFR radar is that despite it being a "maritime surveillance radar" the Raytheon equalivent of it can detect and track but not target lock(because of low fidelity of the radar wave) F-35 sized aircraft from 80-120 km away and big passenger type aircraft from 280+ km...

Very nice and informative article hovewer is this sentence unfinished or am I misunderstanding: "Such radars are set up as fixed sites due to the amount and size of antennas required, and can be considered on a more strategic level compared to a generic transportable radar that performs direct...

Some interesting things from TÜBİTAK 2025 report. A contract modification to increase the range and capabilities of Gökhan has been made and contract for a new Gökhan block was signed. New block Gökhan will be one of the longest range air to air missiles in NATO inventory Integration of...

I was worried after some news claiming that Anka-3's new prototypes will fly at the end of the year but apparently it is still slated for delivery this year.

The official range of sub-harpoon block-II is 120km while Akata's is 250 km. And that isn't even counting the advantages of being fully in control of flight path and terminal maneuvers, your local data link and ability to re-target on the path. I wouldn't call that not bringing much to the...

Hopefully Akata is ready soon because a sub launched missile with these flight characteristics would be our current best deep strike asset. And would curb the ambitions of some of our over-eager neighbours
