Actually, this isn't something that's only recently happened; many of our weapon systems have had unusually wide ranges over the years. For example, when the Kalkan radar was first produced, they said its range was 40 km, then it was updated to 80, then 120, and so on. We've seen the range of...

ASELSAN's pedestal-mounted Stinger system project began in 1989 and was ready for production around 1994, but the project stalled until 2001 because the government did not approve production. After 2001, the Atılgan and Zıpkın KMS's were produced and gradually added to the inventory. I remember...

Akıncı in the air, Heron in the pan

Cost is a crucial factor in such systems; many factories avoid these investments due to the high costs. How much does the system cost, how long does it last, and is maintenance inexpensive? These are the key questions.

Why haven't we seen any Gökdoğan or Bozdoğan missile launches from the Akıncı drone to date? Will the Akıncı only be equipped with the Eren air-to-air missile? If so, why was an AESA radar integrated?

As Şarapçı Kenan said, you conquered the place by screwing the enemy.

Despite Israel and America mobilizing all their allies, Iran's cheap Shahid drones managed to deplete the missile stockpiles of all allies. There are two lessons to be learned here: 1. We must produce a large quantity of very inexpensive drones; 2. We must produce a large quantity of...

A 200 kg warhead sounds great. Could it be converted into an anti radiation UAV by integrating the necessary sensors? Vestel Kargı still sleeping.

I dont think its range limited with 150 km, Turkish defence industry allways follow this way, they initially say it has a short range, but then they extend the range a few times later.

What kind of flatbread is this? Almost a $250 million market, and that much money circulating in a single city, isn't that abnormal? So, it's not about the flatbread!

RAM coating is not something that’s strictly mandatory; it’s more of a solution applied to specific areas where it’s actually needed, and it comes with maintenance and sustainment challenges. The main contributors to stealth are the aircraft’s geometry, surface alignment, and overall design...

I completely agree. MKE shouldn't get involved in such sensitive technologies; MKE should specialize in heavy industry. Sensitive technology is the job of companies like Aselsan, Havelsan, and Meteksan.

The fact that it can track Drone even as it falls proves how highly accurate the system is and suggests it could perform well in the field.

Russia has recently suffered significant losses in its Black Sea fleet and Crimean air defense network, while two Turkish cargo ships en route to a Ukrainian port were struck. These events don't seem coincidental. We know that the Russians sabotaged and destroyed the Turkish navy twice during...

I think many people haven't been able to connect the dots regarding how events unfolded, but from what I've observed, there's a chain of events suggesting that the appearance of Russian UAVs in our airspace wasn't a coincidence. My predictions may be right or wrong, but they all seem connected...

satellite launch vehicle?

With the Russian threat facing Europe, it would be sheer suicide for the Greeks to go to war with the Turks. Neither Israel, which is egging them on, nor America, nor Europe could save Greece. I don't think they would commit such a folly. Israel has declared Cyprus a holy land due to its...

The Chinese CH-7 UCAV will have a longer range thanks to its wide wingspan, more fuel, and possibly a larger ammunition capacity in the mid-fuselage. This design seems like a logical design for stealth aircraft.

As the perceived threat from UAVs increases, it would be wise to switch to lower-cost alternatives instead of using AIM9 or AIM120 missiles, but currently, shooting down a UAV with an F16 is somewhat like conducting a training exercise with real ammunition. It is not so bad.

Friends, what have we done as Turkiye? This event encompasses so many firsts; we have quietly gained significant capabilities. Many people don't mention it, but the Akıncı aircraft, equipped with an AESA radar in its nose, was also quietly produced and entered the inventory in significant...
