Can MKE do anything by itself? It’s not even that good at actual production of already designed stuff.

MKE WINS WARS by making ammunition in millions, while other flashy defense tech companies win twitter likes for a few prototypes that won't last more than a few days in a real peer war.

Artillery and men firing at each other is how wars are fought once TB2s, jets, tanks, missiles etc. run out. Russia was preparing the biggest stockpile of tanks and missiles on the planet since WW2. For 70 YEARS! They even used up the WW2 era tanks. Now soldiers are back in trenches shooting each other as in WW1.

MKE has improved significantly the last few years, you can't make a 180° over night especially not when the company was mismanaged the last decades.

“Today the Turkish Navy begins its largest exercise in recent years. The peculiarity of these exercises is not only the number of military personnel and equipment involved in them, but also the fact that they are carried out in the waters of all the seas washing Turkey.
The press service of the Turkish Navy reports that warships and auxiliary vessels are being deployed for maneuvers in the Black, Marmara, Aegean Seas, as well as in the eastern Mediterranean»

“In total, Turkey is using more than a hundred surface ships, 8 submarines, about 40 aircraft, 16 helicopters, 28 attack and reconnaissance UAVs in naval maneuvers. Naval drones are also expected to take part in the maneuvers. The number of Turkish military personnel participating in the exercises is also stated - 15 thousand. These are truly unprecedented numbers for Turkey in recent years.”

We were wanting LCACs for our LHD if i remembering correctly. But creating a big LCAC needs powerful aviation engine afaik.

My curiosity is; for this job, instead of an LCAC design, should we opt for EDA-R type of designs ?

TN drill EFES2024

From ASELSAN EFES 2024 Stand
Can someone name all pls?

View attachment 68246

It was done somewhere in IDEF thread, search as Aselsan, submarine.

 

[Saithan]

I’m going guess Cakir, Akya heavy torpedo and an USV drone of sorts and several smaller Surface to air missile. They seem too small to be torpedo and why use small torpedo unless they are just as good as Akya.
Unless the black one is like trg300 and others are akya

 

[UkroTurk]

They seem too small to be torpedo and why use small torpedo

I think they are very light torpedos and EW decoys.

Why very light torpedos? Because inside submarine space is limited whereas today your submarine has to hunt cheap and compact USVs ( or manned patrol boats). Thus you save your most lethal weapon:heavy torpedos as well as space and money .

I am not sure using a submarine to hunt cheap USV surface boats is a good trade off on cost. Considering the time to build both.

Not always hunting USV, in case of mission and situation. The submarine won't be loaded with just very light torpedos.Kinda Sidearms.

In near future the subs will face USVs very often that could detect and hit them.

 

[Anmdt]

Can only find this

Aselsan had been taking this to fairs since IDEF 2021. Mainly:
Akya, Orka (Aselsan's first prototype that now serves as training torpedo), TORK, Hisar-Derin, Torpedo tube launched AUV and one loitering torpedo. Most of those systems are unnamed at the stand, and the whole submarine demonstrates Aselsan's submarine solutions.

 

[Nutuk]

With x-band radar why not

 

[UkroTurk]

Would it be possible or realistic to equip AUVs or UUVs with SUNGUR and use them against Helicopters in the Aegean Sea?

Even the French use them on real submarines.
Ukraine has already made USV with SAM.

I think ours will make it.

 

[Sanchez]

Orka (Aselsan's first prototype that now serves as training torpedo).

So that’s what happened to it. Mk46 is a venerable beast and is probably enough for our all needs. But in a world where Dzkk will operate in all seas and near oceans, and with the hopefully soon to be enlarged “fleet air arm” in more ASW helicopters, one thinks cutting the dependence on US in such strategic weapons should be a priority. We made Akya, we should be able to make an Orka Mk II as well.
