Firtina Block-I production completed with delivery of 280 howitzer.
Firtina Block-II is planned to replace M-52T and 44T howitzers begining in 2018.
 
It would be very useful if we could publish a technical comparison sheet of Turkish Artillery inventory. Is 203 mm artilerry still in active use ? 203mm ammo is not produced by MKEK

Turkish Artillery Rocket/Missile Family

The list of 107mm, 122mm, 300mm and 600mm faimly.

-Guided variant of 122mm is being considered in trial phase.
-Guided variant of 300mm called K+ is in inventory at present. Azerbaijan is most probably the first costumer of that missile. K+ has folding type winglets which enable to install missiles on smaller turrets than standart Kasirga rockets. With this way, It became possible to install large number of K+ on truck.

You can see the size differences between Standart K and guided K+ launchers.

-Y-II (~300km) (Iskander-E equ.) is in inventory at present.

-Y-III(~400-450km) (Iskander-M equ.)

No bro. You can rock ! The number of launchers depends on the requirement bro. It was difficult with standrt Kasirga but 6 launchers can easily be installed on that truck thanks to the size of K+.

Ok thx. for the thread... So we will post about Kasırga/Yıldırım and other artillery rockets to this thread, not to missile and torpedo thread, am i right?... :tup:

I think It is a good idea so opened this thread bro. Otherwise, Talking about Self propelled and Towed howitzers in ongoing land vehicle projects are nonsense in a military forum. Same for artillery missiles and rockets as well.

Maybe as an addition to this reason you opened this thread just because in the following days we will see some toys under this thread?!... For example @ 30 August !..

:what: o_O :cheesy:

I wish to see soon

M982 Excalibur, if we are already going to build a system like Archer (Bofors).

Is it on the roadmap?



There is a new smart 155mm munition project but It is not like excalibur. It will be sensor fuzed smart munition
 
Süper CABATLI:tup:. Thx. DM 72/6 charge in promo video from Raytheon seems to be as effective as HGK . I hope we will develop it
