NEB penetrated 7m C50 concrete reinforced with 25mm ribbed steel on top of that penetrated additional concrete block weighing 1.5 tonnes in tests executed in HABRAS test area.

NEB penetrated 90m of rocky area in real-world tests deployed from a fighter aircraft.

Similar US weapons can penetrate 1.8m to 2.4m reinforced concrete.

What the fuck did they make this from, adamantium? This is an insane performance. To give it some more context, MOP (massive ordinance penetrator) US used on Iranian facilities can reportedly penetrate about 18 meters of reinforced concrete, while weighing 15 times more than NEB.

Wow, that's a huge difference. Congratz to the Turkish engineers.

SSB, ASELSAN, and ROKETSAN signed a significant cooperation agreement for the security of the Sky Homeland.

As part of the IDEF 2025 International Defense Industry Fair, a contract was signed for the development of the AESA Seeker (AGRAS 3101/AA) and the Missile-Borne Data Link for the GÖKBORA Long-Range Air-to-Air Missile System.

Serious question, can these kinds of neb bombs also be implemented in ballistic missiles as warhead? Like intead of dropping from planes but putting it on missiles as warheads. Like you have a hostile nation who you cannot come closer to with airplanes but you can however saturate its airdefences by number of ballistic missiles to destroy its fortified airfield?
You guys know who i talk about and its fortified airbases.

Ballistic missile are not that precise or you need to fire like 10 or so on the same target secondly fortified airbases? You can destroy the runway with regular HE warheads but the aircraft bunker would be difficult to hit but honestly I would just spam them on ad sites with high Fragmentation warheads and on runways that would leave the airspace exposed

Now I am going to play the devil’s advocate.
1. This means that the Gokbora has not flown yet. Even if it has, it hasn’t flown to hit a target.
2. There is still quite a bit of work to be done. If Aselsan takes its time to develop a seeker head, then the missile’s readiness will be delayed significantly.
3. We were waiting for a liquid/gel fuelled Gökhan, which was tested and almost ready to be part of the inventory. Instead they gave us a meteor equivalent solid fuelled Gokbora. This was either because the Gökhan wasn’t ready or the top brass preferred the meteor equivalent.

In all honesty, gokbora is the logical choice. But it should have been that, from day 1.

Yes. It is possible but only big ballistic missiles can carry a 2000lb payload. Tayfun Block 4, for example, might be a candidate for it. The range of the Tayfun block 1 will be severely reduced if a 2,000-pound warhead is attached to it. Tayfun Block 1 carries a 1000lbs class warhead.

Afaik there is still one not unveiled missile at the tübitak sage stand, that should be Gökhan i hope.
But it really looks like Gökbora is far away, like 2028 earliest.

Akbaba has flown with the solid fuel ramjet engine and is very close to its first delivery. Those missiles will use a similar engine if not the same engine. Aselsan will deliver AESA seeker of Gökhan in 2026. Seeker of the Gökbora will be a variant of Gökhan seeker if not the same. Sage and Roketsan are in competition. SANs don't like SAGE developing its own products and selling them like a company. They want SAGE to act as an R&D agency and doesn't want SAGE in the business/trade part as they think SAGE is undercutting them. MSB and SSB are also in a competition. SANs and private companies also have bumpy relations. SANs also have problems with each other.

Is that's why they changed the CEO/Director or the reason why the CEO/Director left SAGE?

Orta Menzilli STR Medium Range Weapon Locating Radar
Mobil Radar/Kule Mobile and Tower-based Air Traffic Control Radar
Siper UMRAB (Uzun Menzilli Radar Arayıcı Başlık/Long Range Radar Seeker) is for Siper-2. Siper-1 uses an existing Hisar-RF seeker.


Deliveries in 2026
PARS PAsif Radar Sistemi (Passive Radar System)
SEIRS Sabit EIRS (Fixed EIRS)
FULMAR abbreviation for English Frontier UAV Long-range Multi-mission AESA Radar
Gökhan DG. This one is for Gökhan Ramjet A-A Missile. DG probably means Dual Guidance
Yarı Aktif AB Yarı Aktif Arayıcı Başlık (Semi Active Seeker) for a low-cost A-A missile. This one will be used for a cheap missile for an Iron Dome like system. Some land-based systems will also use this to engage targets in a cost-effective way

Dynamics of AKP is far more tangled than the country's. It is hard to explain it by simply that reason. Okumuş left along with Varank. Change of the wind - change of the hand.

SAGE and Tubitak ILTAREN was always meant to be an R&D agency for what other companies may not specialize or invest in. They have grown plenty of people that migrated to 'SAN'. But those SANs, along with those immigrants have set sail into SAGE does, attempting to render it useless - and Okumuş made a great move by stepping up the game and getting the permit for production - instead of licensing. Costed him his seat.
