Germany is slowing down the construction of the Akkuyu nuclear power plant in Turkey. Despite the absence of sanctions, the German government did not issue a permit for the export of equipment from Germany, and the project had to change suppliers. Denis Sesemin, Director for the organization of production and construction of Akkuyu Nuclear JSC, told Sabah about this.

Delays in the supply of equipment from German Siemens complicated the construction of the Akkuyu NPP. As Denis Sesemin told the Turkish edition, 60% of the switchgear equipment is awaiting permission from the German government for export from July 2023. However, it has not been received so far.

Die Streitkräfte Bosnien-Herzegowinas beschaffen TB2-Drohnen des türkischen Herstellers Bayraktar. Dies erklärte der bosnische Verteidigungsminister Zukan Helez bereits am 11. September vor Pressevertretern. Demnach hat der Westbalkanstaat sechs Systeme bestellt.

Gerüchte über ein Interesse Bosniens an der Bayraktar-Drohne waren bereits im Mai dieses Jahres aufgekommen, als mehrere Delegationen das Werk des Herstellers besuchten. Trotz dieser Meldungen hielt sich der Minister zu Details bedeckt. Der Vertragswert wurde ebenso wenig bekannt gegeben wie der volle Umfang der Vereinbarung, etwa mögliche Waffensysteme, mit denen die Drohnen ausgerüstet werden sollen. Helez erklärte jedoch, dass neben den unbemannten Systemen (UAS) auch drei Bodenstationen beschafft würden. Zudem seien bereits zwei Teams der bosnischen Streitkräfte zur Ausbildung in der Türkei. Die Auslieferung soll bereits im Januar 2025 beginnen.

SİPER Product 2 Missile Performs Second Firing Test
Secretary of Turkish Defence Industry (SSB) Haluk Görgün has announced the second firing test of the SİPER Product 2 long-range air defence missile.

Following its first firing test in 2023, the new missile for the SİPER long-range air defence system was test-fired in September 2024.

Unlike the first, the latest firing test appears to include a target. SİPER Product 2 missile is a new missile for the SİPER air defence system completely separate from the Product 1 missile derived from the HİSAR O+ RF missile of ROKETSAN.

Product 2 missile is a mono-block missile with a larger rocket engine and seeker, providing a range of 150+ km, longer than the two-stage Product 1's 100+ km. SİPER Product 3 missile is also under development, aimed towards ballistic missile defence role against TBMs and SRBMs.

ASELSAN Introduces Compact AESA Radars for Ships
ASELSAN's new compact AESA radar projects, CENK 100-N and AKREP 200-N, were revealed in the 120th issue of its monthly magazine.

As ASELSAN progresses in AESA radars, the company's portfolio is expanding in new directions. One of these directions is compact AESA radars for different purposes, with two products revealed in the latest issue of ASELSAN's monthly magazine.

The first, CENK 100-N fixed-face AESA radar, is being developed for short-range detection of UAV threats. The radar consists of multiple faces that can be distributed around the ship, continuously providing a 360-degree scan. CENK 100-N, also called BURAK, appears to be a spin-off of the AURA 200-G AESA radar being developed for use on the ground as a compact solution against various airborne threats (UAVs, munitions, and low-flying aircraft).

ANKA-III UCAV Hits Target with TEBER-82 Guided Bomb
Guided Bomb In its first firing test, TUSAŞ ANKA-III flying wing UCAV successfully hit its target with ROKETSAN's TEBER-82 GPS+laser guided bomb carried under its wing.

The firing test was performed in the same month as the TEBER-82's external carriage test, which was announced on the first day of September 2024, showing rapid progress towards operational use. Targeting for TEBER-82 was provided by ASELSAN's AF-500 (ASELFLIR-500) electro-optical system placed under the nose, also present in the aforementioned munition carriage test.

AF-500 has significantly increased resolution for all cameras and laser designation ranges. ANKA-III is expected to receive the TOYGUN-100 EOTS alongside the KIZILELMA unmanned fighter in future. TOYGUN-100 will feature a low RCS structure, HD MWIR (1280x1024) camera, and laser designator with a range of 35 km. ASELSAN has announced on its X account that TOLUN small-diameter bombs will follow TEBER-82's firing test from ANKA-III.

ROKETSAN's ALKA Directed Energy Weapon (DEW) has taken down an FPV drone in a recent test.

The test video shared by ROKETSAN shows the target FPV drone being tracked by the METEKSAN Retinar FAR radar and onboard optics before the engagement.

After the optics locked on the FPV drone, the laser weapon was focused for three seconds, resulting in a successful downing. An important part of the laser weapon is that it damages the drone structurally and blinds the optics, the only way of acquiring a target for the drone operator.

ROKETSAN Debuts Long Range TEBER Guidance Kit
ADEX will start on September 24 in Baku and ROKETSAN will exhibit a TEBER laser+GPS guidance kit with a folding wing set.

The same wing set will be used on the LAÇİN IIR guidance kit, which is on display alongside the new configuration of TEBER.

Previously, TEBER's stub-winged version was dropped from AKINCI UCAV, successfully hitting the target. The stub wings have improved the gliding performance, providing UCAVs flying slower than fighter jets with comparable range values at 28 km.

However, this version of TEBER has full-length wings, which might provide a range of 50+ km for UCAVs and 100+ km for fighter jets, based on the similar KGK guidance kit.

TEBER combines a laser seeker and GPS guidance for Mk81 and Mk82 GPBs, allowing for higher accuracy and the engagement of moving targets. The laser seeker doubles as a proximity fuse for airburst detonation, which can cause damage in a wider area against soft targets.

LAÇİN kit alongside TEBER will be used on Mk-82 GPBs with LAÇİN POD for man-in-the-loop guidance through the IIR seeker. The kit can be used standalone or with the folding wing set for longer ranges.

Baykar Works on a Larger Akıncı UCAV with TEI Engines

Baykar CEO Selçuk Bayraktar stated that the firm is working on a larger AKINCI UCAV with engines from TEI.

Selçuk Bayraktar, regarding the magnified AKINCI variant, has made the following statement in his interview with Mehmet Akif Ersoy from Habertürk: "We have TEI's helicopter engine (TS1400) when it comes to jet engines. But Turkiye needs multiple types of jet (gas turbine) engines. One of them will be for AKINCI. If we were to put TEI's engine on AKINCI, we'd need a bigger one, and we are working on it. AKINCI's engines have 750 hp while TEI's TS1400 provides more than 1400 hp.".

TEI is likely working on a 1400 hp-class turboprop engine from its TS1400 turboshaft engine's core, and Baykar is working on a larger AKINCI UCAV to accommodate the said engine in tandem.

Considering the payload of AKINCI B and C variants are above 1.5 tonnes, the "XL AKINCI" might have a multi-tonne armament load with almost twice as strong engines.

This means being able to carry multiple cruise missiles or a larger count of guided bombs.

Alternatively, the stronger engines open room for more potent radars and electronic warfare systems as it generates more electracity. Thus, new possibilities for UAV SOJ and UAV-borne early warning are also present.
