Defence Fair IDEF 2021 News & Discussion Updates

All I can say is there is a lot of pointless competition and product duplication. Roketsan is trying to develop its own RF and IIR seekers(probably via Tubitak SAGE). There is Levent and Gökdeniz-ER.

This is the ASELSAN’s pressure over Roketsan for snobbiness.

I still dont understand how are we comparing the beautiful PARS IV 8x8 against shit things from BMC and OTOKAR. Disappointed in them tbh and excellent job from FNSS. I swear i will cry if Erdo didnt order the new PARS

Competition is good. What's interesting is that Tumosan dropped out of the 8x8 tender and instead partnered with FNSS to develop engines for their platforms.

I wonder if it’d tempt Phillippines Navy. Who’s looking for a Corvette.

Aselsan made Torpedo tubes.

We found Cenk radar. Thanks for sharing

The antennas contained in Barbaros MLU and İstif class frigate have become clarity. Two separate bands are not Areas-2NC antenna ...

@Naval Analyses was wondering..

Another product that caught my attention at the ASELSAN booth was the two-tube light torpedo tube, which will replace the existing US-sourced tubes.

Even better. For TUMOSAN, I would prefer that it concentrates on engine production for armored vehicles like PARS and stuff from OTOKAR and BMC. I mean too much competition on armored vehicles will just turn out to be cancerous. Moreover, this will solve Turkey's engine problem in armored vehicles.
While BMC power concentrates on engines for tanks and marine vehicles and competing at the same time with other companies that produce marine vehicles
BMC can just concentrate on building the tank. As long as they somehow build it, I will be satisfied. Building tanks is a pain in the ass and many countries like South Korea did experience several setbacks with it. That is why all what I want from BMC is the tank.... lol

A new turret?

 

[Lool]

If anyone may explain why on earth is ROKETSAN developing IR heads when ASELSAN is doing the damn job perfectly?

@Cabatli_53 It seems that there’s a hidden gem at the BMC’s stand for you!

 

[TheInsider]

It seems like ARES-2N (AESA ) is improved to V2 (Version 2). AREAS-2NC (Cassegrain) stays as is. Band coverage is widened and improved now it covers a wider frequency area than 2-18GHz.

It looks similar to S. Korean CIWS solution with 360 degree radar coverage.

We need to develop 30mm CIWS along with this concept

 

[TheInsider]

IMHO solving the antenna galore is really hard. I hope İbrahim Bey considers writing an article on this. I also know for sure that there are added UAV/USV datalink antennas.

Cenk radar always finds you before you find it.
