Tolun is being produced in robotic serial production lines with capacity to build thousands per month. Very long range variants with propulsion is also incoming

That is fantastic news. Long range Tolun, with its different variants, would be an incredible asset to have.

So that means the variant with the Delta V engine will be mass produced, fantastic news !

Not necessarily Tolun S would be for Army and army is a bit slow so this could be just for airforce. Also a longer ranged Tolun would be equipped with a turbo jet like Kuzgun TJ or spear.

Don’t think there will be much interest in a Ground Launched Tolun as the American equivalent GLSDB performed horrific in Ukraine.

I mean didn't SDB in general regardless of launch method perform badly in Ukraine because it is a relatively old weapon that wasn't designed to deal with the GPS jamming? From what I remember they couldn't use it in rangers longer that 30 km even from the jets

Yeah that was what I meant. I don't think it makes sense to compare sdb and tolun one to one since there is more than 20 years between their development. There was neither much emphasis on GPS free navigation then nor the technology to do it in small size factor like today

Do you know what happened to Kuzgun by Tubitak SAGE?

Do you know what happened to Kuzgun by Tubitak SAGE?

Although there has not been any new “breaking news” on Kuzgun range of missiles,it doesn’t mean that they are forgotten.
Tubitak Sage site clearly shows them as valid munitions.

KUZGUN - Modular Guided Munition Family - TÜBİTAK SAGE

Tubitak has been busy with testing and integrating SOM-J and Gokdogan/Bozdogan missiles to various platforms. These are more “news worthy”.

Kuzgun SS, KY and TJ versions have been tested and integrated in to various platforms. Whether they are in serial production after acceptance and are in order stages by the Turkish Armed Forces or not, may not be made public. But as stated by Minister M.Fatih Kacir, these missiles were planned to be in the inventory of the Turkish armed forces in 2024.

In short, the Kuzgun project has basically transitioned from R&D to integration, LRIP and continuous refinement. I am personally looking forward to hearing more about the Kuzgun-ER they were developing to replace Penguin missiles and capable of being launched from F-16, AKINCI, AKSUNGUR, ANKA, HÜRJET, and HÜRKUŞ as well as helicopters from stand off distances of 180 to 250 km with a CEP of 1m to 10m depending on it’s seeker.

Kuzgun KY/SS have been tested but there is no official information about Kuzgun Tj nor any other information about if it’s in service. Also roketsan is taking a greater role in developing and producing
