Baykar, Turkiye’s largest defence company by exports, exported 1.4bn USD in 2022.

From their increased production capacity and export rate, we can deduce that they will export for 4-5bn USD in 2023!

to put this in perspective, Turkiye’s total defence export was roughly 4.2bn USD in 2022. Crazy!

Stop the jinxing, will you.

Have KTJ 3200 been test fired on SOM or ATMACA yet?

https://twitter.com/i/web/status/1560947567336329216

According to this video as of December 2022 they had serial production of KTJ3200 going on. Already 10 KTJ3200 engines were ready for delivery to Roketsan. They were planning to produce well over a hundred engines in a year.

Considering TSK has some 410+ SOM missiles on order and a good deal of Atmaca are needed for the navy and ground/coastal defence/attack batteries, even a 100 + engines a year is not enough production capacity.

That aside, we still have not heard from SSB or Roketsan if this engine is being used on current SOM and Atmaca missiles. We know that the engine past all qualification tests last year. But no news of it flying a SOM or Atmaca has leaked yet.
The smaller KTJ1750 however has already been tested on CAKIR missile.

I remember, ATMACA was tested with KTJ3200. It was posted somewhere here.

Ukraine expects delivery of T-155 Fırtına howitzer from Turkey

 

[Afif]

Damn, they are keep adding new howitzers at unbelievable rate.

Ukraine already has around 450 155mm SPH on delivery from various sources.

God hell no

 

[Afif]

God hell no

What's the issue?
We are gonna see some cool ground and pound from T-155 Firtina.

We don't even have enough for ourselves

 

[Bogeyman]

God hell no

Don't say that, the cost of the Fırtına will become even cheaper as mass production increases. It will be easier to produce more. We will fund the defense industry with the money we receive.

In that sense, yeah. But do we have enough powerpacks? Continuous supply of them etc etc

expects or pays ?

In this case they will give it....

 

[Bürküt]

In this case they will give it....

The Germans can even say that the power packs are on the house .Like the Canadians did with the tb2's mx15d.

If they're going to do that, our 1st priority should be Altay.

Is it worth it after trying so hard to use Korean engine and transmission? You know the words about Bor's market .

 

[Heartbang]

Well yea, but I don't think that applies here exactly. Redundancy is good. Triple redundancy is triple good.
Also, the sizes of the powerpacks are quite similar, shouldn't be a problem.

 

[Bürküt]

We don't even know if the number will reach 1000.In this case diversity brings some problems and costs in maintaining.

A lot of projects couldn't get clearance for IDEF. Fewer surprises are expected in IDEF.
