Turkey has upped its domestic defence manufacturing and we take you through what’s interesting, and what’s new.
But this is only the beginning because the 2020s are, by many, being considered a progressive time for Turkey’s Armed Forces, as the various platforms that are in development promise something fresh and quite different.
The combination of air-launched cruise missiles and drones, would suddenly offer the Turkish defence planners an option of ‘unmanned deep-strike missions’, because along with the SOM-A air-launched cruise missile, the Akinci will be able to deliver MK-82 and MK-83 bombs, These were upgraded to JDAM standards by TUBITAK SAGE when they were added to with a KGK .
Turkish Aerospace Industries is also said to be currently working on an even faster platform, a mighty drone that will go by the name of Goksungur and is being dubbed ‘the supersonic version of the Aksungur’.
Because the high density metal round carries no electronic components, it is optimised for stealth and cannot be countered using electronic warfare means, or jamming.
