Turkish Missile Programs

We should go for both, I don't think we can get a indigeneous system ready before 2020s, its not even clear if we have the ability. But we pretty much have no air defence and its a very critical matter, we immediately need something, so we have to buy.

Maybe they aren't even serious about building an idigenous system. They may just want to get Raytheon and the European company to offer better deals. After all whats worse than letting turkey develop its own system.

This words are from Science, Industry & Technology Minister's words... Told in 25 March 2014...

Nasıl bir füze biliyor musunuz? Antalya'da gemiden geçen gün fırlatıldı. Konya'da bir otobüsün üst camından otobüsü vurarak infilak ettirdi. Bu kadar uzak bir nokta atışı 300 kilometre menzil, şimdi 800 kilometreye çıkarmanın çalışmalarını yürütüyoruz.

Did they launch SOM from our naval ship ?...

If it's so then...

Nobe. I think mr.minister misunderstood something.

There were two som missiles launched in that A/E. One of them was in Antalya bay . The other one was "the bus window raper one".

Anyway, we are going to see naval som in a few years.​

No we will not , SOM will stay as an air launched cruise missile if anything gonna launched from ship based VLSs it will be Gezgin.

their classes and purposes are so far different.

"They do however cause considerably more destruction when used inside confined environments such as tunnels, caves, and bunkers - partly due to the sustained blast wave, and partly by consuming the available oxygen inside that confined space."

Pkk...

We didn't have domestic thermobaric bomb but do you know if we had imported thermobaric bombs ?..

If we didn't have it's good and if we had used it against terrorists it's a lil bit bad coz it means that bomb didn't work good enough against pkk...

I think we didn't have coz import of these kind of bombs should be very hard, not allowed...

Thermobaric bombs are not that effective in small scales. You need to use them in big scales for them to show their effect.

They also call them vacuum bombs, they use up all the oxygen in the environment even if the enemy survives the blast they get suffocated or their lungs collapse. And the chemical solution is very simple but I think there are some limitations to their use by international law. It's like the same case with napalm.

GBU-43/B Massive Ordnance Air Blast - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

These are the largest thermobaric bombs known. And as I've said, they really need to be large to be effective.

I dont think we ever had them till now, we never saw them beeing used after all.
We only used conventional weapons in anti terror operations which is not that effective against guerilla terrorists.

Thermobaric bombs ARE conventional weapons.

Oman and Turkey closely cooperate in international and regional problems. Last year, there were reports that Turkey was seeking to bolster defense ties with Oman as a part of efforts to boost defense industry cooperation with Muslim countries, following Davutoğlu's high-level visit to the country. According to reports, Oman was particularly interested in the products of Turkey's missile manufacturer Roketsan, the private armored vehicle manufacturer FNSS Defence Systems and the military factory group Mechanical and Chemical Industry Corporation (MKEK).
