Gambia to buy 20 HIZIR 4x4.
The country plans to use these armored vehicles primarily in Peacekeeping missions.
Turkey has singed contracts with various countries for the export of (the Koral) EW systems:
“We signed contracts with various countries on the export of electronic warfare (EW) and electronic support (ED) systems.” In his statement, GÖRGÜN said about the policy followed by ASELSAN in the export of these systems, "It is not different from the rest of the world."
The threat library possessed by electronic warfare and support systems is described as "invaluable" by many. The Turkish Armed Forces, which has the Electronic Warfare Test and Training Area (EHTES), has many air defense systems such as radar and so on. It has added its systems to its threat library. Many Russian-made air defense systems and subsystems are located in EHTES located in Konya.

Roketsan KMC missile launchers is ready to enter service:
The Pedestal Mounted CİRİT (KMC) Weapon System developed by Roketsan fired three different missiles. The system is ready to enter the inventory.
The Pedestal Mounted CİRİT Weapon System, which Roketsan qualified in 2014, continues its development successfully.
The system, which has been integrated into both land and sea platforms and has been subjected to various tests until today, is now capable of launching two more missiles.
Aiming to ensure that the missiles it has developed with an innovative approach can be fired from different platforms, Roketsan continues to produce different solutions for this purpose.
According to the information obtained by SavunmaSanayiST.com; Various tests were carried out with the KCM Weapon System between 9-11 March 2021.
During the tests carried out at the firing range in Konya's Karapınar district, the KMC Weapon System; CİRİT fired the UMTAS and L-UMTAS Missiles.
KMC Weapon System; It will be able to carry 4 UMTAS/L-UMTAS or 8 (2×4) CİRİT Missiles. In the mixed configuration, the system will be able to carry 2 UMTAS Missiles and 4 CİRİT Missiles at the same time.
Strange, the Turkish army is already is the process of getting 344 new tank destroyers with Kornet-E and OMTAS missiles also based on the same FNSS Kaplan 10 (and the wheeled PARS 4x4). I doubt they will go for this Roketsan solution too. It seems too expensive to me although it can fire longer range munitions of 8 km for both the Cirit and UMTAS missiles. Perhaps the army is looking for a longer range platform between the 4km OMTAS and the newer NLOS Spike-like missile?
344 modern tank destroyers is a lot considering the army already has 210 TOW tank destroyers based on the M113 and ACV hull. IMO the army should skip this Roketsan product and focus on the upcoming Spike-like NLOS platform also being developed by Roketsan and/or the Tubitak-Sage Kuzgun-KY.
Time will tell. Luckily the delay of the Altay is somewhat compensated by the current induction of 344 (original number was 260) new TD's and an eventual 83 T129 production run.

Professor Haluk Görgün, Chairman of the Board of Directors and CEO of Aselsan, said that ASELSAN delivered 12 CATS systems to replace the E/O payloads previously imported from Canada.
TB2s carried out important tasks during the Azerbaijan-Armenia war last year to stop Armenian forces. Armenia, therefore, asked Canada to stop exporting sub-products to TB2s. ASELSAN replaced imported payloads from Canada with CATS.
Görgün, who met with journalists to evaluate ASELSAN after IDEF, talked about ASELSAN and answered questions. Görgün, answering a question about CATS, said, “There are 12 CATS installed on UAVs. One CATS has just been sold. A total of 13 CATS were delivered. By the end of this month, 16 CATS will be in use. Our goal is to produce six CATS per month.” Görgün stated that CATS would improve according to feedback from the end-user.

According to the TurDef journalist, the TF-X will not follow classical development schedule and thus will not have a CDR schedule.
