XQ-06 Fi Loitering Munition prototype is successfully undergoing winter tests at temperatures down to -20 degrees. Fi, contrary to most unmanned aerial vehicles, is designed and is being developed to operate at ambient temperatures as low as -40 degrees. It’s dependable even in the coldest winters and the worst conditions of mountainous zones of our country. For more details about the product, please click the visual aid below.

On February 6, Turkey’s procurement office announced that the state-controlled missile manufacturer Roketsan is developing a long-range surface-to-surface missile called Bora. The Turkish Undersecretariat of Defense Industries said that “deliveries continue on in line with the program’s timetable,” but failed to specify if the deliveries referred to prototypes or the actual developed system. Security analysts claim that Turkey will soon be able to produce surface-to-surface missiles with a range of 1,000 km. In 2016, the chief of the Undersecretariat of Defense Industries, Ismail Demir, confirmed that Turkey would pursue development of “offensive” missile capabilities for deterrence purposes.
There is a wide speculation that Turkey might receive help or has alredy received help in the development of this system from Pakistan. Pakistan being a close ally might have been providing Turkey with the technology as it is consider that Israel is helping India with it's ICBM system. The statement that deliveries continue point to only the direction of Pakistan as the alliance between the two countries is stronger than the Turkish commitment to Nato. Pakistan has the most advance technology in missiles systems and Turkey is stating that it will go for 1000km range but with viewing Pakistani systems military analysts speculate that Turkey might be looking for more ranged missiles systems. Either Pakistan has trained Turkish technicians or giving them blueprint of the design or a deployed system. The Range of 400 km plus is not allowed so this might be transfer of technology or training of technicians based help. Further moving to the context they also commented that what will Pakistan receive in return and the military analysts said that there are two things that can go to Pakistan one that Turkey has openly offered Pakistan it's attack helicopters T129 but this can be a cover up as Pakistan has already access to technology from Russia and China on attack helicopter but there is one area on which Pakistan is silent till now and being a country with a huge border conflict at hand Pakistan cannot go silent on 5th gen fighter jets so it is of speculation that Pakistan is a part of TAI TFX behind closed doors and will appear as a partner after BAE system has helped Turkey in the development. This is one major loop hole that Pakistan exploit to out throw India in the race to acquire the next gen fighter jet and this might be an exchange of technology on this deal.

ANKARA, Turkey — Turkey’s state-controlled missile-maker Roketsan is developing a long-range ground-to-ground missile and weapons system, the country’s procurement office has announced on its website.

The Undersecretariat for Defense Industries, or SSM, said that “deliveries continue on in line with the program’s timetable.” But SSM did not say if the deliveries were prototypes or the systems, dubbed “Bora.” SSM did say the systems are required by the Turkish Land Forces.

An SSM official familiar with the program would not comment on the status of Project Bora, but said the end goal of the program is to earn capabilities to design, perform qualification and progress into serial production of the Bora system.

Security analysts say Turkey would eventually aim to produce ground-to-ground missiles with a range of up to 1,000 kilometers.

Some of the foreign capitals falling within that range if a missile is fired from Turkey include Damascus, Baghdad, Tehran, Tel Aviv, Cairo, Belgrade, Athens, Kiev and Budapest.

“If Turkey makes verifiable progress in its ‘offensive’ [ground-to-ground] long-range missile system, this will inevitably have repercussions in the region. Some of the countries that feel politically and militarily threatened by Turkey would seek ways to develop or buy systems that would intercept the Turkish system. Secondly, they may seek ways to develop or buy their own offensive systems, sparking a kind of missile race within this very turbulent region," a security analyst said.

In 2016, Turkey’s top procurement official and SSM chief Ismail Demir said Turkey might develop “offensive” missile systems in addition to its plans to build a long-range air and anti-missile defense system. He said the efforts to develop offensive missiles were meant to improve deterrence capabilities.

ballistic missile ?

ballistic missile ?

Don't know the type CSIS issued a warning so it could be any type from the news it seems some of the technology has been delivered to them by some one undisclosed or some nation undisclosed.

 

[Hassan Guy]

Tactical Missile probably.

ballistic missile ?

Its most probably a futher development of J-600T Yıldırım which was developed with the help from China and Pakistan.

Roketsan is reportedly working on an improved version of J-600T, details of which are highly speculative for the moment. Given that the system was first revealed to the public more than 7 years of its introduction to service, it can be expected that information about the improved version, if there is any, is going to remain secret for some time.

• J-600T Yıldırım I SRBM (150 km range)
• J-600T Yıldırım II SRBM (300 km range)
• J-600T Yıldırım III SRBM (900 km range)
• J-600T Yıldırım IV MRBM (2.500 km range in development)

I dont know how accurate Wiki is but it might just be a change in name.

This is the most accurate military source and it reports news after 48 hours with confirmations so the news is accurate

If certain nations are recklessly providing all sorts of tech and gadgets to India, we are not bound to be sensitive to their security and interests.

We might just be following newton third law of motion.

Turkey got ToT for a missile with range less than 300km, everything legal.

I think it is a cruise missile ... turkey does not have nuclear bombs therefore missile primary targets must be strategic in nature to take out enemy's command and control or other key strategic assets ... ballistic missiles are less accurate therefore not suitable for the purpose ... cruise missile are more required b turkey ...

I think the longer range version of SOM Cruise missile is already being worked on. This news is about a ballistic missile.

Long range Cruise Missile that is in development is called ''Gezgin''.

Everything is legal when no one knows about it. After all, we kick started Iranian nuke program.

Well then source is definitely Pakistani. You wont be able to get this stuff from Chinese due to your issues in past with China on east Turkmenistan issues. Who knows, what else we will be providing you lot, you are the only Muslim nation who can add value to Pakistan on mutually beneficial basis, rest are just hopeless.
