TR Missile & Smart Munition Programs

[Kaan Azman]

Considering how we would encounter the adversaries in a hypothetical war, I say putting the same kind of payload on aging Yıldırım missiles so that Tayfun production line won't be strained for something very specific

Do we have any equivalent to this?

These are not that much effective in modern warfare. Runways are easy to repair. It's better to hit more critical buildings in an airbase, like planes and munitions.

JP233 was solely used against runways.
German Tornados had a more versatile version with different cluster munitions against diverse targets before the ban.

MW-1 (Mehrzweckwaffe 1, multipurpose weapon): pure 80s Cold War vibe! When Germany was serious about mass killing communists.

Yeah, I think US attacked a Syrian airbase with missiles with similar warheads while Trump was president and planes continued flying from there either the same day or the next.

Maybe there is a version of DEMET for this purpose.
Türkiye is not part of this:

NEB can be used against runways too.

It isn’t, but had stated in the past that it would no longer produce cluster munitions. New realities necessitate a change in that policy.

Do you believe that?

Of course. You are as valuable as your word. We said we wouldn't, and we didn't. All our old stocks are also under NATO books, there's nothing to suggest Turkey produced cluster munitions after 90s, although it has shown the capability to develop them with Demet years ago. Ones we sent to Ukraine were older 155mm MKE rounds, license built in Turkey.
