The first pics of ALP 600G, ALP 150G, ALP 400G and EJDERHA (hew?)

Interestingly, ALP 400-G likely has the same amount of antennas as the Nebo-M (168). Also the long range component will also have an EOS system like in the Hisar-O battery.

And the ALP 100-G and ALP 500-G aren't even added as well as the whole MIMO family... Stealth soon won't work in the Turkish airspace.

Selcuk says they have a study on a larger Akinci powered by TS1400 (or rather TP1400).


I bet that's going to be the basis of an unmanned AWACS. IMO, it's going to be 40% larger so a width of 28m and a length of 17m is to be expected.

This engine will probably be more advanced than the CT7 family but less than the T901.

My guesstimate for a TEI-TS3000:

~2500shp sustained power
~3000shp OEI
~10hp/kg at sustained power
~250kg engine dryweight

From the looks of it, I don't rule out twin radial stage compressor, but most like a 4/5 stage axial followed by a radial stage.

About the indigenous engine for the Kizilelma according to Selcuk:

"We have our own development project for the KIZILELMA engine. There is another variant that TEI has made, which can also be installed on KIZILELMA. We are currently purchasing the KIZILELMA engine from Ukraine. But we will design and develop our own engine. We are making a more powerful engine."

IIRC he also said some words about the differences in "methodology" between TEI and them.

Most likely he is referring to the Soviet/Ukrainian way of designing and producing turbine engines because Mahmut Aksit also once said the West and East have different methodologies of designing and producing turbine engines. Emphasis on the word methodologies here because they both used the same word in the same context. Also they'll produce more than 10 Kizilelma's in 2025, not in 2026.

@Radonislav It would be nice if you could sift through some interviews given during Teknofest. That is if you have the time to spare.

Better quality image of steel dome. Alp 400G has 160 antennas instead of 168.

VHF's are rare in NATO. But it gives a very good anti-stealth capability.

Indeed.

Seems like ASELSAN is creating a radar structure with literally no gaps :D

ALP-600G (very long range radar/BMD stationary "building-radar", possibly with guidance channel?)

ALP-500G (very long range radar, on top of a building, larger than 300G, possibly guidance channel?) S bans

ALP-400G (VHF anti stealth/BMD early warning radar) VHF

ALPG-310G (Long range radar of Siper, ALP-300G with guidance channel) S band

ALP-300G (transportable and trailer mounted stationary long range radar, 1000km instrumented range) S band

ALP-150G/p (Passive radar)

ALP-100G (complementary low altitude and C-RAM radar) S band

AKR-1000G (X band MFR) X band

Kalkan-400G (Medium ranged radar) X band

MAR-2 (Medium ranged radar) X band

Acar-100G/Aura-200G (anti-drone radars) S band


Out of these, only Kalkan is PESA, rest is AESA with MF capabilities.
