TR Missile & Smart Munition Programs

TAF made a decision to increase stocks/inventory of those weapons, as well as ballistic missiles. We are also selling those to various customers, such as Saudi Arabia. Some of the foreign purchase agreements are not openly declared. Finally, we need our serial production lines open and continue working.

As I have said before, to have a limited quantity of these I can understand. But to mass produce these in big numbers is not very clever.
KGK version, yes! But HGK has a maximum range of 28km if released from 40000+ft altitude.
In order to release this bomb you need total air superiority. Otherwise against any modern AD your fighters will be target practice.

Would only make sense if Anka 3 could carry them internally. I can only imagine that this mass production is in anticipation of a new anti-terror campaign once the peace process collapses. This round will probably be much more widespread and include city areas both within and in Iraq and Syria. With the advent of FPV drones, I don't think we can risk sending in troops directly like in prior campaigns. It would be evacuation of civilians followed by total destruction from the sky.

Otherwise, you're right, I can't see a use for these in any other scenario, they're an end game weapon.

I appreciate TAF’s decision to increase munition stocks. We must have a reasonable quantity of all types of munitions in ready to use stocks. But it has to be remembered that all munitions have a shelf life. Electronic circuits may corrode and/or explosive fillings would age. These will have to be maintained with periodic checks and refilling etc. So as well as initial production expenses there is an ongoing one.

I agree that a level of production has to be kept up to keep alive the manufacturing line. So exports is a good way to do that. However that does not detract from the fact that this is not a munition that is usable in cases whereby your pilots and planes are not put in harms way.
