Well, actually isn't it to some extend?
Because air density changes with altitude.
What Mr. Kozan meant was that ’forget about altitude. The issue here is the lack of domestic radar’. It wasn’t a speculation on his part but a fact check.

True, and the aircraft. We don't have an aircraft that can actually realistically use Gökhan at that altitude. Eurofighter could, but it won't have Murad. We need Kaan.

Even with Eurofighter you would be pushing the limits as it is the maximum altitude and not the operational altitude.

As we were speculating Gökhan, I came across this.

Greeks are getting really predictable and boring now. If that was our aim we could have paid Qatar, under the table, to misplace one of theirs ages ago. It's not like France goes around Qatari munition depots counting them one by one.

Even if France could check one by one, nothing would change. A well-organized and very large team could examine and copy any air-to-air munition in its entirety within 24 hours. Even down to the source codes!

The munition would then be placed back into the EF-2000 fighter jet and destroyed by firing it as soon as possible under some pretext.

Thus, the French would not have the chance to examine the munition for copying in Qatar. The Greeks cannot even think of this. This is a very surprising situation.

Reverse engineering by copying, never gives good results. The material science used by you and the original will always be different. Therefore you will always hit snags. There could be certain fine critical points that may help design your own equipment. But that is where reverse engineering should stop. It is always best to design and produce your own.

Greeks are shouting at deaf ears. What they are claiming has no substance. Besides, Meteor is solid fuelled ramjet powered. Gökhan, we are told, will have liquid/gel fuelled ramjet engine. Two distinctly different technologies. Our seeker technology has already been tested on Gokdogan. So apart from knowing the kinematics details of meteor that will aid our planes to counter it, there will be very little extra we can learn from it. As you rightfully pointed out, whatever needed to be learnt may already have been done with Qatari meteors.

I fully agree to you. If we go by the Meteor example, let's say you examined the Meteor Missile in 24 hours. The problems starts after that. Especially those with very tight tolerances and requiring long periods of trial and error to integrate into the system, will often be extremely costly. In the Meteor example, this part should be solid-fuel ramjet.

Therefore, instead of copying directly, after understanding the main ideas in the Meteor missile, it is often cost-effective to produce a similar missile from scratch with your own interpretation and techniques suitable for your own infrastructure.

This is probably why we chose nanoparticle Boron doped gel technology for the Gökhan Missile, because we already have expertise on Boron.

90% of their "complaints" and "warnings" are nothing but fearmongering and xenophobic bullshit. Besides, I bet this is because they got fuck all from their talks with Macron, as Greek media reported Macron refused to veto a potential sale.

And Greeks better get used to it. With US becoming more unreliable day by day, Europe will start thawing their relationship with us. They have very little to offer (other than being a nuisance for us) while we bring one of the largest and most experience militaries around to the table, and then as a cherry on top, we bring our military industrial capabilities, both in design and production.

Greeks sleeps and grow up with Türkiye.

Atmaca, Hisar-D RF, Siper Block-1, Siper Block-2 in MIDLAS.

Tactical configuration of MIDLAS will be 2×3×6,7 meters and 15 tons while Attack configuration MIDLAS will be 2×3×8 meters and 18 tons.

Torpedo launch from MIDLAS is planned for future.

Nothing new mate;
Roketsan has already published this info and made available in the brochure, last year.

We don't even have meteor, back in the days they were also claiming we reverse engineered something to made atmaca, greece is a country that can't even build a MRAP for Its own landforce lol.

Hybrid rocket technology from DeltaV made its way to the military industry. This is a big development. As far as I know, Turkiye is the first country to use hybrid rockets for military purposes.

ASELSAN #GÖKTAN firing test
⬇️
✅Rocket engine integrated into TOLUN to provide ground-to-ground strike capability,
✅Mission planning and firing with Command Control - Fire Control software and hardware,
✅Precision strike on long-range targets by opening its wings after separation from the DeltaV rocket 🎯

I wasn't expecting this at all! This is a great game changer. Amazing news.

Thanks to be God. Finally! Our artillery will now have much sharper and longer range strike capabilities.

Some highlights:

-Larger rocket motor (Near 300 mm arty rockets in size) combined with hybrid rocket propulsion will be a significant leap from the range regime of GLSDB
-TOLUN IIR should be backwards (terminologically and quite literally) compatible too but we might have to put some sort of aerodynamic cap to protect the seeker
-GÖKTAN is implied as a system rather than a munition so I see different payloads being integrated too in future.
