[Foinikas]

It's funny,he keeps saying Turkey is a superpower,but constantly compares the inventory with Greece instead of countries like USA,Russia,France,Britain

 

[MMM-E]

Nobody says Turkiye is superpower , btw Russia,France,The UK also are not superpower


Dont worry when all Turkish major military projects finish until 2030. then everybody will see what about advanced military technologies

only one example in the next 2 or 3 years
Turkish KIZILELMA unmanned stealth Fighter Jet and Ramjet powered GOKHAN long range air to air missile to beat 4th generation Fighter Jets French Rafale or Russian SU-35 in BVR combat


now Greece is dreaming about fighting Turkiye and I show what about Greece's military capabilities

except losing of 100 F-35A, Turkiye does not have a military capacity lower than France
France has nuclear weapons , nothing else special

14 ... Laser Electronic Warfare System


Only Turkiye in Europe

First NAZAR Laser Electronic Warfare System will be delivered to the Turkish Navy in september 2022

It can paralyze the seeker heads on E/O and IR missiles at 5 different wavelengths.
NAZAR has 2 times more effective range than the Phalanx CIWS


LIDAR (Laser Imaging Detection and Ranging)

The system sends some laser lights towards the missile head, and according to the reflections coming from there, it understands at which wavelength it is a seeker
Then it continues this reflection and creates a glare there, a glare we call the 'cat's eye effect'.
Then it begins to follow this glow. While following, a directed laser beams against the threat in a suitable modulation,

after this beam that the seeker head is paralyzed


cutting edge technology that develops by very few Countries in the World

NAZAR’ın ilk prototipi Eylül ayında teslim edilecek

Meteksan Savunma tarafından geliştirilen NAZAR'ın ilk prototipi 2022 yılının Eylül ayında Deniz Kuvvetlerine teslim edilecek. T.C. Milli Savunma Bakanlığı tarafından
