Die Türkei könnte in Zukunft trotz politischer Spannungen ein wichtiger Verteidigungspartner werden. Breuer hat nun staatliche Rüstungskonzerne besucht.

Ankara – Die Türkei rüstet unter Staatschef Recep Tayyip Erdogan in den letzten Jahren massiv auf. Dabei legt das Nato-Land den Fokus nicht etwa auf Einkäufe aus dem Ausland, sondern auf einen möglichst hohen Anteil an Eigenproduktion. Der staatliche Rüstungskonzern Aselsan spielt zusammen mit weiteren Rüstungsfirmen eine zentrale Rolle. Generalinspekteur Carsten Breuer hat nun die Aselsan-Zentrale in Ankara besucht.

Bayraktar TB3 Performs Full-Autonomous Sorties Consecutively

Bayraktar TB3 Performs Full-Autonomous Sorties Consecutively TurDef
Baykar’s Bayraktar TB3 UCAV successfully performed four consecutive takeoff-landing tests on TCG Anadolu LHD (L400) with full autonomy in the Gulf of Saros.

Following the first flight from TCG Anadolu towards the end of 2024, Bayraktar TB3 is continuing its tests onboard the LHD set to become a pioneering platform in the shipborne deployment of UCAVs.

Bayraktar TB3 performing the sorties fully autonomously is an important demonstration on the way to deployment. Lowered human involvement in something as delicate as sortie of a fixed-wing platform on an LHD with a single runway can reduce human error and be potentially more efficient in timing.

ROK’s Defence Acquisition and Programme Administration (DAPA) Minister, Seok Jong-gun, visited Baykar’s Özdemir Bayraktar National Technology Centre.

Baykar announced the important visit on the social media platform X, sharing a photo of the DAPA delegation taken in front of the Kızılelma unmanned fighter’s mock-up and the CTO Selçuk Bayraktar gifting a scaled model of Kızılelma with the flag of ROK to H.E. Seok Jong-gun.

Baykar does not give details regarding the meetings with delegations most of the time, but photos shared in announcements can give hints about the subject. In the case of this visit, Kızılelma might be among the subjects.

KUZGUN KY Missile’s Technical Specifications Get Revised

KUZGUN KY Missile’s Technical Specifications Get Revised TurDef
Specifications of TÜBİTAK SAGE’s KUZGUN KY rocket-powered modular missile intended for USVs and UAVs have received revisions spotted during TEKNOFEST 2025.

The new specifications of the KUZGUN KY show a significantly larger warhead and shorter range than what was previously given.

Previously, the missile’s warhead was stated as 10 kg and range as 20 km to 40 km. The new specifications seen in TEKNOFEST 2025, held in TRNC, show that these specifications have changed to a 15 kg warhead and a range of 15 km to 30 km, depending on launch conditions. The larger warhead has increased the total weight from 75 kg to 80 kg.

The warhead options for KUZGUN KY are listed as explosively-formed penetrator (EFP) against hardened targets and HE-FRAG. On the other hand, seeker options are laser and TV. The common guidance package consists of GNSS, INS, and two-way data-link.

KUZGUN KY as a Tactical High-Speed Hitter

KUZGUN KY was revealed during IDEF’21 as the third variant in the line after the gliding KUZGUN SS and turbojet-powered KUZGUN TJ.

Bayraktar TB3 UCAVs Takeoff Consecutively from TCG Anadolu TurDef
Bayraktar TB3 UCAV’s third and fourth prototypes took off consecutively from TCG Anadolu (L400) LHD for the Turkish Navy’s Denizkurdu 2025 naval exercise.

The two prototypes took off from Keşan and landed on TCG Anadolu. Following the landing, the prototypes were loaded with two MAM-L glide munitions. Later on, both prototypes took off consecutively, and for the first time with munition load. During the exercise, Bayraktar TB3s will drop MAM-L munitions on land targets after taking off from TCG Anadolu.

The test is a milestone with the demonstration of consecutive takeoffs of two UCAVs and the ability to take off with a munition load. Bayraktar TB3 can carry up to 280 kg of munitions including MAM series of glide munitions, UAV-122 aeroballistic missile, SUNGUR air-to-air missile, and Kemankeş 1 loitering munition.

ASELSAN Exports 81 mm ALKAR and GÖKDENİZ CIWS to East Europe TurDef
ASELSAN announced the export of ALKAR 100/81 automated mortar and GÖKDENİZ 100/35/StA CIWS to the Eastern Europe region, without disclosing the customers.

ASELSAN disclosed the export of ALKAR 100/81 lightweight automated mortar system and GÖKDENİZ 100/35/StA CIWS to the Eastern Europe region. As the countries are not stated, it is not known if there are two customers or both systems were ordered by the same customer.

ALKAR 100/81 will be exported as part of an agreement with a vehicle manufacturer for the needs of an unnamed Eastern European country.

On the other hand, the acceptance trials for the GÖKDENİZ 100/35/StA to be exported to an Eastern European country were completed. The customer might be Ukraine as it will use the CIWS onboard its MİLGEM corvettes.

ALKAR 100/81

ALKAR 100/81 is an automated 81 mm mortar system developed after the ALKAR 100/120, which uses a 120 mm mortar. As a lighter system, ALKAR 100/81 can be mounted on flatbed 4x4 armoured vehicles and even commercial pickup trucks. Additionally, the system can be used in fixed positions for outpost defence duties.

GÜRZ Air Defence System Comes in Two Configurations

GÜRZ Air Defence System Comes in Two Configurations
ASELSAN’s activity report for 2024 includes the development of the GÜRZ gun/missile hybrid air defence system in two configurations: GÜRZ 200 and GÜRZ 140.



According to the annual report, GÜRZ 200 and GÜRZ 140 will be developed as two different configurations of the hybrid air defence system under the Multi-Purpose Point Air Defence System programme.

GÜRZ 200 is shown as the truck-mounted version of the system, which was first unveiled officially during IDEF’23.

As to what GÜRZ 140 might look like, a hint was previously spotted on ASELSAN’s website. Concept drawing of a hybrid air defence system with an identical configuration to GÜRZ 200, mounted on an 8x8 armoured vehicle similar to PARS ALPHA 8x8, was seen briefly. Differently from GÜRZ 200, this concept has smaller AESA radars and another quad set of MANPADS in place of GÖKSUR air defence missiles.

Additionally, a GÜRZ variant with a water-down on some capabilities for enhanced mobility onboard armoured vehicles would strategically make more sense than another truck-mounted configuration. If GÜRZ 140 indeed turns out to be an armoured vehicle-mounted variant, it can be considered a higher-end alternative to the KORKUT 35 mm SPAAG family with all-aspect search and air defence missiles in addition to a 35 mm revolver cannon.
