Aselsan should develop 105/120 turrets for light tanks, I don't like MZK turret it doesn't feel like very modern, just more like concept yet and not matured product.

Turkey and Egypt's defense cooperation gave birth to SCORPION:
• Unmanned platforms SCORPION and HAMZA-1, developed under local cooperation in Egypt by HAVELSAN and the Arab Organization for Industrialization (AOI), made their debut at the EDEX 2025 Egypt Defense Exhibition
• The unmanned aerial vehicle HAMZA-1, which carries traces of BOZBEY capable of vertical takeoff and landing, drew attention as one of the standout innovations at the exhibition
• The SCORPION Unmanned Ground Vehicle, on the other hand, was developed as a 6x6 platform capable of carrying a remote-controlled weapon system. With these features, SCORPION attracted interest as a new technology for Egypt
• The export of products to be jointly developed and produced is also targeted to third countries in the region

As Naval News previously reported, Merah Putih-class frigates are notable for their extensive use of Turkish-made combat systems. The ships will be fitted with, among others, ASELSAN-developed sensors and radar systems, combat management from HAVELSAN, and missiles as well as VLS from ROKETSAN.

Midlas use hot or cold launch?

The Roketsan MİDLAS (National Vertical Launch System) is a versatile system that can use both hot and cold launch methods, depending on the specific missile being fired.

Also hot launch?
Seems there is no dedicated exhaust uptake for hot gas exit at the center between cell rows.
