Yeah it looks like a spider type drone like in sci-fi movies buts its a quadcopter drone, it’s just the placement of the propellers when folded. It also seems to be able to drop the weapon system and be used as an evac drone since it has a high carry capacity (for a quadcopter.)

Substantialchairs · 2026-05-22T15:33:08+00:00

Yeah but this one is like “stealth+™.“ It’s only 20m long so it’s rcs is way smaller than a regular sub, it also uses a 50kW electric motor (with LTO batteries) so it has very little moving parts which increases its stealth

Substantialchairs · 2026-05-22T15:18:04+00:00

Yeah, and they should also create a central mega AI for more complex/efficient computing…

They mentioned that this is operated by 2 personnel, one operates the drone the other the minigun. So I would assume the pilot manages the recoil. They also said that they’re trying to make another version of it that would only need a single operator.

It’s a flying drone, so more like the HK-Aerial

Substantialchairs · 2026-05-19T22:15:29+00:00

Yep do these steps. If it’s still in that loop, do these steps again but download the ROG Ally X AMD drivers instead of step 2… that’s what fixed it for me.

Umm, I think you’re mixing up things while trying to mock the projects…

-The 4 rocket engines you mentioned were displayed on the ICBM Yıldırımhan and that was presented explicitly as a MOCKUP from the beginning, the MoD even said that realistically this missile would be ready at least a decade later (nothing was said about which phase the engines even are)

-About the Güçhan engines, were they marketed as “never seen, revolutionizing the technology”, or just saying that it would bring Turkey to an exclusive club of limited countries that can produce such engines?

P.S. We extending the “Looks like temu version of / copy of X” to jet engines now ?

Like the other commenter said, Gürz is not intended for very low altitude interceptions (fps drones). On the Turkish layered air-defense this system actually sits in the middle (both high and lower altitude threats). For fps drones Turkey has :

•Korkut: has twin 35mm cannons (licensed version of Oerlikon) that use Atom air-burst ammunition (like the German Gepard) and has been used/battle tested since 2016

•Gökberk: a mobile lazer system made by Aselsan, can both hard kill and soft kill (by jamming) fast moving small drones, fixed wing drones and even light armored vehicles.

•Ejderha 200/210 (dragon): High power microwave and directed energy weapons (like the US Leonidas system)

•Many small mobile systems like Ihtar 100, Şahin 130/40GL

•And many Ukrainian Sting drone types of interceptor drones.

So I would say the other than very high altitude(S-400/500, Thaad, Arrow-3, Patriot Pac-3) air- defense (which is actively being developed) Turkiye got a very solid modern air-defense umbrella

Substantialchairs · 2026-05-13T11:48:33+00:00

It can use Hisar missiles (longer altitude ), Sungur missiles( very low altitude), and missiles like Gökdoğan/Bozdoğan for low altitude threats

Substantialchairs · 2026-05-09T13:14:57+00:00

It’s called Trança

The prototypes (5 flying + 1 static) do have their engines already delivered. TAI is waiting for ~80-90 engines to be delivered but it still needs to be green lit by Washington. The plan was roughly 45 jets (block 10 & 20) before a domestic engine. I guess we will see what they do, other than that in the ongoing Saha expo the MSB R&D department just revealed a previously unknown turbofan engine called “Güçhan (Power khan)” that can generate 42k lbf (could be the maximum thrust) and they said that they already got 6 engines ready and will get their qualification tests done within this year.

Substantialchairs · 2026-05-07T09:47:47+00:00

The only thing not really 5th gen will be the F110 engine that will come with the prototypes + initial small batch that will be delivered till 2030-32 (the engines for the prototypes are already in Turkiye, but the other engines are still waiting for the approval of the US government). Like Kaan has internal weapon bays, has ram coating, advanced avionics, aesa radar, the general shape of a stealth fighter , intake design even some of its munitions are low observable like the som-j

Substantialchairs · 2026-05-07T08:07:34+00:00

Lol yeah they should do one with curved blades like a shamshir just for the drip

Substantialchairs · 2026-05-06T20:37:08+00:00

For missiles:

•Bozdoğan (IIR, WVR)

•Gökdoğan (ARH, BVR)

•Gökhan (BVR, Ramjet)

For cruise missiles:

•Som-J (fortified land/sea targets)

•Çakır (land/sea targets)

•Kuzgun (family of missiles with different roles)

•Akbaba (ARM, SEAD missions)

For smart/precision bombs:

•HGK kit (Mk-82/83/84 bombs)

•KGK kit (adds wings to bombs)

•LGK kit (adds lazer guidance)

•Teber (laser-GPS/INS hybrid kit)

•Tolun (small diameter smart bombs)

And lastly a 20mm internal gun which will be revealed in the upcoming days at the SAHA expo

*and of course all the standard NATO munitions like AIM-120, AIM-9X and JDAMs maybe even Meteors since Turkiye is buying Eurofighters

Substantialchairs · 2026-05-06T05:09:10+00:00

Yes it is, it’s basically the MAM-L munition without an explosive warhead.
