High subsonic missiles fly at approximately 300 m/sn so superrapid fires 2 ammo per second its not logical to me but 40/70 mm double barrel makes 10 ammo per second,more logic.We made 40mm but nobody cares it,what a pity.

It is another question if MKE can manage the supply chain and catch up with the building schedule of 7 I-Class and 8 ADKG, and future planned 7 TTHB until 2030, plus the exports.

For some reason, I really doubt it. Really hope the gun is not what delays the deliveries in the future, huge possible bottleneck.

To add, we don't know if the navy is interested in the 76mm gun for CIWS duty, just that it would be great to have it as option. But it won't be an option unless MKE builds an SR equivalent or Aselsan works on 76mm ATOM rounds.

I don't think merely 76 ATOM is going to be enough. it has to be maneuverable.

or Aselsan works on 76mm ATOM rounds.

MKE can produce enough 76mm guns, so it is not a bottleneck. MKE heavy gun/barrel production facility has enough capacity to build more than enough 76mm guns. The rest of the system is outsourced.

Production capacity as of 2018.
60 guns for Fırtına SPH
200 120mm mortar
1000 60&80mm mortars
250 guns for Boran Howitzer

This is the same MKE that boasts with delivering 7 Borans a year so I'd prefer seeing them in real life first.

I don't know anything about marine systems. So I'll ask you to be tolerant with the question I'm going to ask now. Are periscopes still used in submarines?

I am also not an expert but i think periscopes are supposed to be .


Regarding 76mm smart ammunition for air defense, i would recall Göksur . I think we need mini autonomous and seperated VLS container for Göksur missiles. Multiple launches aren't better?

Irrelevant. Boran is a niche product. It faced difficulties in the development phase but once it got military qualification (Land forces tested the shit out of that product) it is delivered and EXPORTED quickly. It was a difficult project for a company like MKE where every kg is important due to air-transportation and when you make it light recoil forces become a headache. There are not a lot of lightweight air-transportable howitzers around.
MKE has good production capacity. 35mm gun systems were never a bottleneck for the Korkut or air defense cannon project. TSK never had a problem for M60T or T-155 guns.

Once the 76mm naval gun system gets military qualification, MKE can produce them. MKE doesn't produce the servos, cooling system etc. Those might be a bottleneck. I don't know if producer companies has enough production capacity for outsourced systems.

Not to derail the discussion but I was trying to look at specs for Stamp-G and realised Aselsan just took all Stamp variants out of their Turkish website, they are still there in the English version. (but that one seems like it wasn't updated when the Turkish version was)

I can't help but wonder if it has anything to do with new fascination with Unirobotics or not.

Boran is not a niche product, it's a 105mm gun built to replace hundreds of 70 year old M101 and M116s in service. If anything, 76mm gun is the niche product that will maybe see 50-60 built during its production cycle discounting spare barrels, if we're lucky.

Boran was exported to Macedonia and Bangladesh, per claims by giving lines slated for KKK. Boran production is woefully slow. Per 2022 reports, Macedonia will get 6 Borans in 2 years and 12 more between 2029-2031.
"The first battery, each consisting of 6 BORAN Howitzers, is planned to be delivered to the Macedonian Army within 2 years, while the remaining 2 batteries are planned to be delivered to the Macedonian Army in 2029-2031."

Makedonya'dan BORAN Obüsü Siparişi | SavunmaSanayiST

Makedonya, Türkiye'ye 18 adet BORAN Obüsü siparişi verdi. Her birinde 6 adet obüs olan 3 batarya BORAN Obüsü, Makedonya Ordusu'na teslim edilecek.

In the original document signed in 2009, MKE was to deliver 104 Borans to army in 54 months or 4.5 years. That's 12 a year. We have more than 500 old mid caliber guns in service. Changing all of them(not currently planned or ordered) would take 20 years.
"For the 105mm Boran Howitzer Project, the Mechanical and Chemical Industry Corporation is developing the weapon system and Aselsan is developing the fire control system. According to the first contract, the contract period for the development of the howitzer was signed for 49 months, while the serial production phase of 106 105 mm howitzers was signed for 54 months."

Pretty normal to expect something similar for the 76mm gun and I will reserve my judgment whether MKE can deliver on time.
