Italy deploys advanced air defense system in Turkey against DAESH

As the ongoing threat against Turkey continues on the Turkish-Syrian border, an air defense system and 25 military personnel arrived in southern Kahramanmaraş province late Sunday, deployed by Italy as part of NATO's package of assistance measures set to be fully applied prior to the July 8-9 Warsaw Summit. The recently deployed Italian air defense system in Kahramanmaraş will replace the German Patriot missile systems that finished their three-year, mandated mission. A senior NATO official previously told Daily Sabah during the NATO foreign ministers meeting in Brussels that Italy is planning to send SAMP-T missiles - the latest generation of surface-to-air air defense missile systems - to fight DAESH.

Along with the SAMP-Ts, sources have confirmed that NATO will also provide Turkey with an additional Airborne Warning and Control System (AWACS) by July.

As the Italian batteries arrived to the Turkish port of İskenderun, containers including air defense system materials were brought to the military post in Kahramanmaraş by 10 trailers late last night along with 25 Italian soldiers. It has been reported by several Turkish media outlets that the Italian Air Defense System is to be set up at the location of the former German Patriot missile systems. Commenting on additional measures, the NATO official told Daily Sabah on Tuesday that NATO is "sharing analysis, information and intelligence [to fight terrorism]. All NATO allies are contributing to the efforts of the U.S.-led global coalition to counter DAESH and the AWACS surveillance flights in support of the coalition are one option also being discussed by Allies." The NATO official concluded remarks by noting that Iraqi officers are currently undergoing training in Jordan while they are enhancing NATO's defense capacity by building support for Jordan and Tunisia.

While NATO also previously vowed to enhance Turkey's maritime and missile defenses as well as send more surveillance drones to the Turkish-Syrian border, it is claimed that the newly arrived defense system may be the SAMP/T missile system (sol-air moyenne portée terrestre or surface-to-air medium range/land). Military sources have told Daily Sabah on Tuesday that one of the batteries are to be placed in Kahramanmaraş while another is set to be installed in Gaziantep. http://www.dailysabah.com/politics/...nse-system-in-turkey-against-daesh-1465332869

I don't understand. How can SAMP-T help against DAESH threat?

What about your surface to air manpad progress. Any news?
 
2x Kale-3500 turbojet engines will be delivered to SSM within June 2016 rather than planned April. The procurement agreement is expected to be signed by the mid 2016 and the deliveries expected to be commencing after 12 months of the agreement. Turbojet engine usage decided in all missile projects rather than previously mentioned turbofan engine usage for the SOM-ER and Gezgin projecets. Also for the SOM-J project, a new turbojet engine has been ordered from a foreign country since the Kale-3500 engine does not meet the performance requirements of the missile.

... Diğer partilerde [ve seri üretim fazı altında imal edilecek füzelerde] ise şirket tarafından yeni geliştirilen ve TR40 ile TR50 arası bir performansa sahip olması planlanan yeni bir turbojet motorun kullanılması bekleniyor. Yeni motora yönelik sipariş sözleşmesinin 2o16 ortasına kadar imzalanması bekleniyor. Turbojet motor teslimatları genellikle Tₒ+12 ay gibi bir takvim dahilinde gerçekleştirilmektedir. Söz konusu yeni motorun Artırılmış Menzilli SOM [SOM-ER] Füzesinde de kullanılması bekleniyor. Edindiğimiz bilgiye göre tüm özgün füze/mühimmat programlarında turbojet motor kullanılması kararlaştırılmıştır. Daha önce SOM-ER ve Gezgin Programlarında kullanılmak üzere turbofan motor seçeneği de değerlendirilmiş, ancak sonuçta tercih turbojet motordan yana kullanılmıştır.

Çalışır durumdaki iki Kale-3500 Turbojet Motor prototipinin uçuş testleri için Haziran 2o16'da [daha önce Nisan 2o16 olarak açıklanmıştı] Savunma Sanayi Müsteşarlığı [SSM]'na teslim edilmesi planlanmıştır.Diğer yandan Mart içinde edindiğimiz bilgiye göre bir füze projesinde değerlendirilmek üzere TüBiTAK yurt dışından turbojet motor tedarik etmek üzere bir çalışma başlatmıştır.Konuyla ilgili olarak Nisan içinde elimize ulaşan son bilgiye göre söz konusu motor tedarik çalışması SOM-J Projesi kapsamında gerçekleştirilecektir. Kale-3500 Turbojet Motorunun mevcut özellikleri ile SOM-J Füzesi için istenilen performans karakteristiklerini karşılayabilecek kapasitede olmadığı,bu yüzden yurt dışından turbojet motor tedarikinin gerçekleştirileceği belirtiliyor.

Great news.But as far as i understand, the engine which Kale produced will be tested for the "normal" Som and Gezgin platforms.They are our locak products which can be called "critical".But the insufficent part of this engine is that,It is not compitible to use the F-35 variant of the Som.
I hope this project accelerates our engine development phases.

Turkish defense firm Roketsan signs deal with Airbus Helicopters

Turkish defense contractor Roketsan signed a deal with Airbus Helicopters on Wednesday at the Eurosatory 2016 defense exhibition held in Paris.

According to the deal signed by Roketsan Board Chairman Emin Alpman and Olivier Michalon, the Turkish contractor will provide its Cirit series laser guided missiles to be used for the H135 and H145 series of helicopters.

311


The Cirit series missiles carry a special warhead and were designed to fill the operational gap between low cost, low precision and non-guided missiles and high cost, guided anti-tank missiles.

Cirit missiles have the longest range in its class, and they are among the main arms carried by T-129 ATAK and AH-1W Super Cobra helicopters produced by Turkish Aerospace Industries (TAI).
