Turkey’s Defense Industry Has Come A Long Way, But Ankara Still Relies Heavily On Foreign Suppliers


Head of SSB Demir said that "The tests of ALTAY's domestic engine will start in the coming days."

The engine developed by BMC POWER under the name of BATU, 12-cylinder, V-type, water-cooled, turbo diesel, and it has 1500 hp with 4600Nm torque. The company will also develop U connect type transmission, cooling package air filtration system and exhaust system within the scope of the power group

 
what I see is Iranians trying to score points against Turkey, not knowing that their own defense industry need to import parts as far from the Netherlands .
 
but MMME said Turkey is a military superpower and makes everything themselves!

Turkey is not a military superpower. Currently an emerging regional actor trying to complete its transformation until the 2030s.
 
but MMME said Turkey is a military superpower and makes everything themselves!

Nobody makes everything themselves in the World


I said that Turkey develops around 700 military projects to break dependence on Foreign Military Technology in 2030



Turkey is at 67% self-sufficiency now and will be over 95% by 2030

It is a shame about the engines for the T-129, i guess that will be lesson for Turkey to make sure all its programmes are ITAR free for the future.

Engines are the achilles heel of most military programmes and even China at times struggles with engines. It is a complicated issue, but one that Turkey can address.

I suspect, that PA will want to wait for the T-129s. Drones hae changed the equation and PA has bought quite a few of them recently, so i think they can afford to wait.

This is not about the Z-10 not being good enough, it is about military diversity and therefore capability. Standardisation and diversity have their own military benefits and issues. Pakistan "wants" to "develop" Turkey as a military weapons supplier by actively getting involved in procuring some of them.

Yes, China can provide everything, that is not the issue here.
 

Damn, I knew the helicopter was not developed by Turkey alone, but I thought Turkey at least had its part in the development, but no, nothing, the helicopter is a pure license production from an Italian-British company.
And the Americans don't only provide the engine (which is the most critical part), but also other parts....

And once again we see the massive dependence of Turkey on foreign technology supply!

Turkey is nowhere as advandced as Erdogan wants the world to believe.

From all the military systems that Turkey regularly shows, I wonder how many of them are truely indigineous Turkish systems....I guess most of them (if not all) have a lot of foreign components, and especially the most critical components are always foreign, but normally we are not informed about that, until the foreign supplier stops the supply and the media starts reporting about it....

Turkey has still a very loooooooong way to go!!!

You İranian jealous UCUBE ...
its not secret that T-129 has been developed by Turkish Aerospace Industries in cooperation with AgustaWestland
T-129 use indigenous Turkish mission computer, avionics, weapons systems, self-protection ew warfare suites and the helmet-mounting cuing systems


now Turkey develops 100% indigenous T-629 Attack Helicopter including TS1400 turboshaft Engine
Turkey is only Country in İslamic World that develop and produce Helicopters - Turboshaft Engines

Turkey has its own technological capability to produce the main components of the Helicopters

-- fuselage
-- electronics and avionics
-- mission computer
-- Helicopter electronic warfare system
-- Infrared Counter Measure System
-- HELMET Integrated Display System
-- fire control radar
-- the main and tail landing gear
-- Engine
-- the transmission rotor
-- 20mm and 30 mm Gun with buried munition box
-- guided rocket
-- missiles

Turkey has 3 different Attack Helicopter projects 5 tons class T-129 , 6 tons class T-629 and 10 tons class T-929 ATAK-II
also 5 and 10 tons class Utility Helicopter projects



even Russian KAMOV designed , developed and gave Z-10 Attack Helicopter to China
and China gets Engine technology from Ukraine, Russia and France

Germany has developed TIGER Attack Helicopter with France ( with a multinational engine by German MTU , French Turbomeca and British Rolls Royce )



btw Pakistan should buy 100% İranian Attack Helicopter .. LOL

And once again we see how deeply dependent Turkey is on foreign military technology supply. Even their most prestigious systems (drones) would be totally worthless without foreign technology.

Turkey has still a very looooooong way to go!

Keep crying LOSERS

Drone super power Turkey doesnt need Canada who can not develop UCAV



now Turkish ANKA-S and AKSUNGUR UCAVs are 100% indigenous including TEI PD-170 Engine

and now Bayraktar TB-2 UCAVs use indigenous E/O System instead of Canadian E/O System

indigenous TEI PD-170 Turboprop Engine in mass production for ANKA-S , AKSUNGUR and Bayraktar TB-3 UCAVs

Only read but dont cry ok ?

The TEI-PD170 Engine which produces 225 horsepower at the time of take-off and 170 horsepower at a critical altitude of 20.000 feet with its 40.000 feet altitude capability provided by diesel fuel, stands out as the best in its class worldwide.


and Turkish ASELSAN CATS E/O System has more range than Canadian WESCAM E/O System



only in 18 years , the rate of indigenous production in the Turkish defense sector had risen from 20% to over 70% between 2002 and 2020

until 2030 the rate of indigenous production in the Turkish defense sector will rise to over 90%
