ASPİLSAN Energy Started to Design the Batteries of the National Combat Aircraft
Ferhat Özsoy, General Manager of ASPİLSAN Energy, said that they started to design the batteries to be used in the National Combat Aircraft. Özsoy, who made a speech on the last day of the 6th Battery Technologies Workshop organized by ASPİLSAN Energy in Kayseri on December 15-17, shared the current developments about the company.
Özsoy said the following regarding aviation batteries: “As for aircraft batteries, the batteries of the projects carried out by TAI for all aircraft developed in Turkey, including the National Combat Aircraft, have started to be developed by ASPİLSAN Energy. These are serious batteries. The batteries used especially in the National Combat Aircraft are somewhat superior to those in the F-35. Their design has begun. We have assumed a serious responsibility there as well.”

Last night, the director of SSB Ismail Demir had a lengthy interview on CNN Turk. Some important points:
- Akinci UAV can be used for various purposes depending on the type of electronics installed.
- MIUS subsonic and supersonic versions are developed in parallel.
- Anti-radiation kamikaze drone is coming.
- Siper high altitude air defense system has approached the level of SAMP-T.
- By adding a rocket booster to Hisar-O+ and some modifications, it reached 4x the range and approached the altitude of the SAMP-T
- Other blocks will come after this block-0 Siper.
- Development studies for the engines of the Gezgin cruise missile were initiated. This missile will likely be subject to embargoes due to its long range and capability.
- From what he said, the Gezgin prototypes might use a foreign engine during development (most probably Ukrainain)
- The possibility of Hürjet operating from a ship like Anadolu is being studied in design works.
- The Özgür project is in a very advanced stage and Turkey can upgrade its own F-16s in the house without any problem.
- I class frigate tender (for the 2nd, 3rd and 4th ship) is going to be issued in a very short time.
- There are no problems or delay with Reis class (214TN) submarine production with Germany.
100 km range for the boosted Hisar-O+ is terrific. It looks like with SIPER, they've taken an approach similar to how the USN developed the SM-series: agile missiles with addon boosters, instead of the soviet/russian approach of large single-stage SAMs. very cool.
ASPILSAN ramping up its battery production is also great news. Hope to see them become a major li-ion manufacturer. batteries are the crude oil of the future.
"The effect of Bayraktar TB-2 in Ethiopia is quite high. Ethiopians say that the TB-2 has done wonders in this war, changing the tide of the war. If this were not the case, Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed would not have left the front and came to Turkey, he probably thinks he owes him a debt of gratitude."

The space journey of Turksat 5B has started
Türksat 5B satellite, which will increase Turkey's data capacity by 15 times, was launched into space. Turkey's 8th satellite will serve for 35 years. President Erdoğan sent a video message at the satellite launch ceremony. In his speech, Erdogan said, "On behalf of myself and my nation, I congratulate Mr. Musk and SpaceX for not giving in to the blackmail and pressure of their anti-Turkey lobbies."
The launch took place at 06:58 a.m. from Cape Canaveral Base in Florida. Türksat 5B satellite was launched into orbit with SpaceX's Falcon 9 rocket. The satellite, which will serve in 42 degrees east orbit, will increase Turkey's satellite data communication capacity more than 15 times. Türksat 5B has 20 times more efficiency than fixed class satellites. The satellite has a maneuver life of over 35 years. For the first time with the satellite, "equipment designed and produced locally" will be sent to space on a commercial communication satellite. Türksat 6A satellite, produced with domestic facilities, will take its place in space in 2023.
Turkey's new communication satellite Türksat 5B was launched into space at 06:58 from Cape Canaveral Base in Florida, USA. During the launch, a ceremony was held at the Türksat General Directorate in Ankara's Gölbaşı district. President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan sent a video message to the ceremony, which was attended by Vice President Fuat Oktay and Minister of Transport and Infrastructure Adil Karaismailoğlu.
