Turkey Military News, Reports, Data, etc.
- Thread starter Jeff Head
- Start date
There's always a TB-2 flying around Çanakkale for the past couple of years, and housed at the airfield too. 160km track on TB-2 would imply ~400km on a regular jet, use of X/S-band. Murad-100A is supposed to be 8-12GHz, if I'm not mistaken; so X-band.
Is there a TRM count specified?

1152 IIRC divided in 72 blocks with 16 T/RM each.
TEI General Manager Prof. Dr. Mahmut F. Akşit:
- So far, we have developed more than 20 unique super- and titaniumalloys.
- Starting from ore extracted from a mine in Türkiye, we obtained pure cobalt and pure nickel. This is a first in Türkiye.
- We have completed the entire technology chain from the soil, the mine, to the engine in Türkiye.
- We can formulate, melt, and produce the material ourselves. We have established a Material Characterization Center with international certification. The data from the tests we conducted there has received international certification.
- A top-tier turbine company from a technologically advanced country requested a meeting with us.
- They produce natural gas turbines for electricity generation, but they don’t have engines.
- Their own government reprimanded them, saying, “Look at what the Turks have achieved in 10 years, and you can’t even build an engine.”

T-7 red hawk acheved about 736 test hours this summer, first flight 20 December 2016.
Hurjet first flight the 25 avril 2023... already art 300 hrs. When will they bypass the T-7 flight hours ? Look like smooth testing.

Who knows, they'll probably start serial production before they hit T-7 flight test hours though.
The Sudanese Akincis don't have any other payload than good old MAM-Ls with 15km max range; meanwhile, the RSF is equipped with Chinese medium-range SAMs and Israeli long range radars, supplied by the UAE...
Sudan is using these Akıncıs in a very close air support role, which is not what they were designed or built for. It's got two PT-6s, an expensive EO sensor, numerous avionics and 450kg internal+900kg external payload capacity. It's not a cheap or nimble aircraft. I'm honestly surprised more haven't been shot down already.

It’s a workhorse UAV, designed to ease the burden on Turkey’s aging and overstretched F-16s by taking on land and sea attack missions during this difficult transition period. It's got 300+ km range missiles, for goodness' sake!
If you try to laser-designate short-range missiles against enemies with anything resembling anti-air missiles, it will get shot down.
