Turkish Defence Industry Executive Committee is expected to be held on Sept 15th. The first problem, it is not 100 % confirmed. It can be postponed. Everyone waits for the TF-2000 air defence destroyer programme to come to the decision table. I learned that it will not be. It has to wait its...
When it comes to Fırtına's hybrid engine, an engineer told me that it is very risky to use batteries on the battlefield. It is not possible to extinguish such batteries if they are caught in a fire and they get very unstable due to gun fires. He says that each shake due to the fire adds...
We have some interesting news for Fırtına and Altay. We have spoken to Ukrainians at IDEF and they said they are in negotiations with Turkey for both Altay and Fırtına. They will provide 6TD-2 for Fırtına and apparently a new one 6TD-4 for Altay...
You might be more involved in the process than I am. I can not make such powerful claims. Because I listen to both sides and write what I understand. I believe we can provide negative and positive arguments for both sides. In my case, I have no side. I am in the middle and I question whether the...
you are welcome...
There are more interviews coming up in fact. Otokar, Havelsan, Navantia and Meteksan interviews are already published. There are FNSS, SDT, ARES, Canik, Uzmar, SMS, STM, Turaç coming up...
Navy and SSB have different visions on that. I started to speak with two sources from both sides and got into depth information later. It is crystal clear that the Navy wants to control the entire process. They want to be able to make amendments to the project if they want to. A private...
I disagree about bigger place expectations. We need the new vision. IDEF must be divided into three like land, air and naval platforms. Eurosatory, le Bourget and Euronaval are the good examples of it. The big place costs more, small size enterprises can not afford it. Four days expo was not...
TF-2000 project getting into life
SSB President İsmail Demir made an announcement about the TF-2000 Air Defence Destroyer. If you had no opportunity to read, we hinted about the long waited story almost a month ago. Mr Demir set up a press briefing at IDEF and told the good news to almost 20...
Some of them you want to see will not be there, unfortunately. Baykar does not attend the fair. There will not be a MIUS mockup. And there was not Göksungur on TUSAŞ stand. Other mockups are waiting for your visit. :) https://www.turdef.com/Article/tusas-to-exhibit-its-platforms/559
Hello all, I hope you enjoy the piece of work I prepared today. It is about the future of works in Turkey about Electromagnetic Rail guns. As you may all know that US Navy has dropped the project. So I learned the current situation in Turkey. I hope you enjoy it...
Thank you very much for this warm welcome which makes me ask myself why I did not come here earlier. I will be happy to contribute here and I am sure I will learn as well.
