Turkish Missile Programs

Bombing cities is a matter of making the enemy pay back for using Weapons of Mass Destruction. If you don't have nukes you can still have biological warheads (just be carefull handling them). How else do you want an enemy with WMD to pay back for nuking you if you don't have range enough to deliver your return gift to their address. Which is a viable deterrent.

ILA 2014: Roketsan - Introducing Precision Strike Weapons for Next Generation Platforms


CIRIT Has Become a Trendsetter in its Class
Still being one of the only combat proven serial production 2,75” laser guided systems in the inventory of two different Armed Forces, the CIRIT missile, produced by Roketsan, is becoming well known amongst international Armed Forces. Its unique features gives the user extensive capabilities, as well as a cost effective solution. Easy integration, long range, high accuracy, insensitive capability, and minimum logistics brings CIRIT forward as a high-end product for helicopter requirements.

CIRIT, designed as the main weapon system of T-129 ATAK Turkish attack helicopter, is being used by the AH-1W COBRA helicopter, AT-802 ARCANGEL Border Patrol Aircraft, and is also integrated on the EC635 Light Combat Helicopter. CIRIT, with its flexible architecture, also has a vehicle mounted weapon station, stationary/mobile weapon system, and naval stabilised platforms. Recently, CIRIT demonstrated full success eliminating a target at the range of 10km, beyond its maximum range.

The deliveries of CIRIT are ongoing as scheduled for both the Turkish Armed Forces and the UAE Armed Forces. Roketsan, in partnership with MBDA Deutschland, is also promoting CIRIT for the EC665 TIGER Combat Helicopter (UH-TIGER) in the inventory of the Bundeswehr.


MILITARY TECHNOLOGY: ILA 2014: Roketsan - Introducing Precision Strike Weapons for Next Generation Platforms




Bro, Yildirim is a project of 1990's but introduced first time in 2007. Until now, Turkey achieved many things over Yildirim. 300km variant of Yildirim which has more precision guidance is also developed. To make it more precision(300km Iskander equivalent), As far as I know, Roketsan has already been working with China (Not for ballistic missile but guidance to decrease CEP) but Current reached range is around 800-850km and The name of Ballistic Missile in that range developed by Roketsan is "BORA". This range is not only proved by PM but also army personnels who gave information to some sources.

and According to serious analizes, 800km range is the perfect limit which will be most benefical to Turkish army in accordance with threat perception. More longer range is assessed to be useless and waste of source...


Actually, If you ask me, Development of Ballistic missiles itself are a waste of time and sources but It sometimes helps to provide aversiveness enough against countries like Greece. In additions, While Neighbours are getting longer ranges, Locating behind of them will cause some psicological disadvantages even If system itself is useless. Belive me Turkish army think it like that That's why Roketsan is developing 1000-1500km Ground to Ground cruise missile called Gezgin.

800km

Turkey May Restart Missile Defense Program | Defense News | defensenews.com

T-LORAMIDS+

ANKARA
— Turkey’s procurement bureaucracy is rethinking a multibillion dollar program to build the country’s first air and missile defense program, keeping “all options open,” including scrapping the existing competition and merging it with a longer-range program with better capabilities.

That contest has not yet been announced, but procurement officials say one option to overcome the deadlock could be to renew the program.

“One idea could be to co-develop T-LORAMIDS+ with the Europeans as a longer-term solution and lease some of their systems as a bridge gap solution,” the Aselsan official said.

Although the Aster is not the Turkish military’s favored solution, the government leans toward Eurosam, a prime ministerial aide said. “There are differences of opinion between the end user and the government,” he said. “But of course the final decision will be made by the government. We want to find a solution to make everyone happy.”

Meanwhile, the US contenders are silently waiting to get into the picture, with no clear sign of success so far. But “if we decide to go for a renewed contract, the competition will start over with all contenders standing on equal footing,” the procurement official said.

Whatta fuvck? Unless we ask Assad to get our heads SCUD"ed; the Government will not take any decision including local procurement.

Something needs to be done. Turkey is completely defencless against ballistic missiles. Its a shame that foreign troops had to be brought in to fill the gap. This program has been taking such along time.
Even Armenia has better airdefence systems than Turkey :cuckoo:

Idk how much it would cost to lease some systems but i think buying some surplus patriots wouldn't be a bad idea untill the real deal is ready. Again Idk know the costs.
