Proximity fuze for 30mm developed by Kuzgun Tech.

Hope we will soon see more 30mm and 35mm turrets in service instead of our beloved 25mm pea shooter.

I don't know anything about these people or this company.
I simply don't have enough information about this engine and rocket to confirm or deny anything. But I'm genuinely interested.
If you have unbiased sources, please cite them; I'd be grateful.

Just read multiple comments on here, or apply basic logic and reasoning ffs.

Just out of interest the 6k missile that was shown. Lets presume that one is fake, how many years are we away from being able to do it considering where we know we are now? 5, 10?

Actually I think out of all the stuff that they have shown that’s the most realistic if they are using subcomponents from the private industry remember the unnamed missile from roketsan so less than 5 years

2 years max if you really want it, I can tell from the Şimşek-1 space launch rocket program where the rocket is a 29 meter long 2.2 meter diameter beast and is expected for 2027.

Yıldırımhan estimated specifications (by comparison to its equivalents in the world)

Length: 15 meter
Diameter: 1.5 meter
Mass: 30.000 kg

Turkish MoD R&D statement regarding the whole shock and debate from YILDIRIMHAN and GÜÇHAN

"TurDef learned that both programmes had been developed under extraordinary secrecy. A source speaking to TurDef compared the Ministry’s role to a “pace setter” in athletics competitions. According to the source, the Ministry does not seek to compete with defence companies inside the sector, but rather to accelerate development across the sector, provide technological know-how and help push the broader ecosystem forward."
