Quite a small warhead but an interesting concept.

Quite a small warhead but an interesting concept.

5.5kg warhead developed for Kamikaze drones, as an example

Imagine that detonating speeds like 0.6 / 0.7 mach. I dont think that Şimşek's loitering/kamikaze variant is intended to develop a system against armored vehicles. Şimşek target drone basicly designed for simulating enemy aircraft and missiles, so it highly agile and high G maneuverable drone. It is much more likely that this is an anti-radiation(or some other strategic targets) drone for launching from UAVs.

One main UAV platform will carry another two drones with a range of 200km and high maneuverability under its wing. You can turn this ability into many things. This system will probably could carry payloads such as E/O or LIDAR etc and also possibly flight with some other Counter Measure Systems. But It can also act as a communication relay or decoy-missile(like MALD) according to the needs, all this ability scale will increase the options of UAV operations, penetrating to completely or limited A2 / AD environment.

It would be good in Pakistan's drone inventory and in fact they should bolster also with TB2 and TB3

Now that Egypt got all its toys sounds like a major powershift in the Middle East. Israel still top followed by Iran and Egypt then Saudi/Turks is new power projections.

Lmao.. The great delulu.. 1.Turkey, 2. Egypt 3.Gulf, 4. Iran 5. Algeria, 6.Morocoo, 7.Israel except Israel they sit 20 and higher then Algeria and Morocco but that is nonsense due to being tiny..

This is aslo something along with the world global firepower

I cant put Israel behind arabs since they defeated the Arabs so many times. Turkey is probably equal to the gulf arabs at this stage but they do have more fighting spirit then the Arabs.

A very good question did Israel really win 6 day war? I don't understand how this narrative exists and not debunked? How can a conventional war during the 60s end in 6 days let alone in our modern times? There is no logisitical ability that can grant anyone victory in 6 days. It is in a stage where the war has not even began.

The 4 arab states who went into to demolish Israel were facing a united NATO invasion if they didn't pull back immediately and end the hostilities they had two options either fight NATO or stand down.. At the end of the day they chose the right option. They were outnumbered sigificiantly against NATO this is truly what happened on that day but ignorance is bliss..

Turkey is similar? Explain Nagorno-Karabakh, Libya, Syria and Iraq... Turkey can change any outcomes on the ground. Rumors has that Turkey can even shape better ground realities then the USA, Russia and China according to experts..

“Turkey has developed its own domestic drones and has used them to devastating effect in several recent military conflicts: Libya, Syria, in the Nagorno-Karabakh war between Armenia and Azerbaijan, and in the fight against the PKK inside its own borders,” recently wrote US scholar Francis Fukuyama.

“In the process, it has elevated itself into being a major regional power broker with more ability to shape outcomes than Russia, China or the United States” he wrote in an article published by the magazine American Purpose

@Mohamed Bin Tughlaq , I dont think that his purpose is not to tell something; but tries to sh*t into MM-E's thread by provoking him because so easy to trigger him.

You count as does global firepower, the number the casseroles each country has..casseroles don’t make the kitchen..it is the chef who does! Israel is the 6th position? Israel is light years ahead in the middle East and beside Iran, there is no power that can tangle with hers armed forces in the Middle East…Beat Egypt 4 times, made Turkey cry like a bitch….etc etc etc….Among the countries that you have cited, there are only two countries with a projection capability..Israel and Algeria. Both have a demonstrated capability. The Saudi and their coalition has showed their limitations of its armed forces against a lightly armed Houthis ..Egypt has difficulties of controlling the Sinai rebellion despite the Israeli, same story withMorocco and the Polisario….etc etc..

Algeria? seriously?

You forgot Jordan ..




in 2010 , Turkey had nothing except American SLAM-ER and İsraeli POPEYE
but as of 2021 Turkey can produce 3.000 of BORA , SOM , ATMACA , KARGI , KUZGUN , KGK-LR to destroy all air bases , jet hangars , radars and air defense systems in any country of the region


A glance at the Turkish Armed Forces’ recent combat record demonstrates that Turkey’s defense policy now extends well beyond its borders

Turkish Drones loitering in the Syrian Airspace
Turkish Navy Frigates along the Libyan coast
Turkish military advisors in Tripoli/Libya alongside Government of National Accord (GNA) formations
Turkish mountain Commando units operating in Northern Iraq,
and high-ranking Turkish officers are in Turkish military bases in Qatar and Somalia


TURKEY is the strongest Country in the region for military and economy
