ASELFLIR-410 Electro-Optic Spotted on T-70 Helicopter
ASELSAN’s ASELFLIR-410 electro-optic system was spotted on one of the TUSAŞ’s T-70 utility helicopters in assembly line. The helicopter fitted with ASELSAN’s electro-optic was present in the Turkish Minister of Industry and Technology Mehmet Fatih Kacır’s visit to TUSAŞ. ASELSAN’s Helicopter Electronic Warfare System (HEWS) was also present on the helicopter. T-70 is a derivative of the Sikorsky S-70 Blackhawk, and Turkiye localises its components and production. In addition to TUSAŞ, other Turkish firms also participate in the production. For example, TEI produces a variant of the T700 turboshaft engine, T700-TEI-701D; ASELSAN produces avionics, sensors, and self-defence systems; and ALP Aviation produces the landing gear and transmission. So far, ASELFLIR-400/410 has been integrated into ROKETSAN’s Pedestal Mounted Missile system and the T129 ATAK attack helicopter. Integration of the non-laser designating variant, ASELFLIR-400, on AB-412 helicopters of the Turkish Coast Guard is also anticipated. ASELFLIR-410, weighing 57 kg, incorporates three types of cameras: HD Day Camera with 1920x1080 resolution, Thermal Camera with 1024x768 resolution, and SWIR Camera with 640x512 resolution. In addition to cameras, a laser rangefinder and designator are present in the system with a range of 30 km.

Regional / Strategy
Turkiye Withdrew From the CFE
The decision was published in the Official Gazette. Turkiye withdrew from the CFE, signed in Paris in 1990 and signed by NATO and the Soviet Union, which imposed restrictions on the movements and equipment of the armed forces in Europe during the Cold War. The Treaty was signed by some countries, especially Russia, at the OSCE Summit in Istanbul in 1999. Russia officially announced its withdrawal from CFE in November 2023. Thereupon, the U.S. and NATO announced that they were suspending their obligations. Türkiye, on the other hand, regretted the U.S. decision and called on the parties to return to the agreement. Türkiye also withdrew from the Treaty following the recently increasing tension. The relevant Presidential Decree was published in the 5 April issue of the Official Gazette, effective 8 April. The Treaty set equal maximum limits for each bloc on key armaments essential for conducting surprise attacks and initiating large-scale offensive operations.

Turkiye's F-16 Viper Modernisation to be Divided by Two
Turkiye’s F-16 Modernisation programme with the U.S. is currently on the discussion table. Two institutions will share the workload to upgrade 79 F-16 jet to Block 70 level. Turkiye holds two separate modernisation programmes for F-16 fleet. Turkish indigenous modernisation programme Özgür will be carried out at Turkish Aerospace (TUSAŞ) facilities. The second modernisation programme will be carried out with U.S. components. In a significant development, Turkish-U.S. relations reached a new milestone in February 2024. Congress approved Turkiye’s request to acquire two fleets of brand-new F-16 Viper jets and upgrade 79 F-16 aircraft with modernisation kits which will be obtained from the United States. The inclusion of the Northrop Grumman AN/APG-83 SABR AESA radar, also used in F-35A aircraft, in this modernisation programme is a testament to the technology being employed. According to the current Government to Government negotiations, Turkiye’s modernisation workload will be completed as in previous modernisation programmes. As a result of former upgrades, the Turkish Air Force has no F-16 Block 30. They have all been upgraded to the Block 40 level. Current negotiations foresee the division according to the blocks. The upgrade programme will not require sharing the workload on the same aircraft. In this sense, F-16 block 40 and 50s will be upgraded at the Turkish Defence Ministry’s Eskişehir 1st Air Maintenance Factory Directorate. The directory is also known by its former name, 1st Air Supply and Maintenance Centre Command, while F-16 Block 50+ aircraft will be upgraded at Turkish Aerospace (TUSAŞ) facilities.

Incirlik Becomes a Combat Base
The Ministry of Defence announced that the 10th Tanker Base Command has been renamed to the 10th Main Jet Base Command, aligning with the evolving needs of the Turkish Air Force. Admiral Zeki Aktürk, Press Advisor of the Turkish Defence Ministry (MOD), stated at today’s press conference that “The name of the 10th Tanker Base Command located in Incirlik/Adana has been changed to ‘10th Main Jet Base Command’ in line with the needs of our Air Force.” Incirlik Air Base was opened for use in 1951. There are military aircraft of the Turkish Air Force and the US Air Force within the base. Royal Air Force also benefits from the facilities at the base. The Turkish Air Force classifies bases as ‘main jet’, ‘main transportation’, and ‘tanker base’. Incirlik was called ‘Tanker Base Command’ until today. The 152nd Fleet, located in Merzifon Air Base, was moved to Incirlik in recent years. With the assignment of a combat fleet to Incirlik, this place left the ‘Tanker Base’ category and became the ‘Main Jet Base’.

F-16 ÖZGÜR Drops LGK-82 and LGK-84 Bombs
A Turkish F-16 fighter with ÖZGÜR modernisation hit its target with LGK-82 and LGK-84 laser-guided smart bombs. F-16 ÖZGÜR fitted with indigenous mission computers dropped the guided bombs from an altitude of 15000 ft. This year, the F-16 ÖZGÜR programme marked a significant milestone with the successful integration of the MURAD AESA radar. This advanced radar system will enhance the aircraft's capabilities, providing onboard air-to-air, air-to-ground, SAR, and electronic warfare capabilities. LGK is a series of guidance kits manufactured by ASELSAN for 250 lb Mk81, 500 lb Mk82, 1000 lb Mk83, and 2000 lb Mk84 general purpose bombs (GPB). The kit provides laser, GPS, and INS guidance capabilities to the bomb it is fitted on. LGK has been tested from F-16 and AKINCI UCAV. ANKA Armed UAV was also displayed with LGK-81 during TEKNOFEST 2023 İzmir, hinting at integration works. Within the framework of the ÖZGÜR Project, national ammunition, electro-optical systems and avionics will be integrated into the F-16 warplanes. The national mission computer and operational flight software developed for this purpose were integrated into the F-16. In addition to these components, several critical avionics systems entered the Turkish Air Force inventory together with the F-16 ÖZGÜR aircraft. Turkiye had requested 79 F-16 Block 70 modernisation kits from the USA. With the ÖZGÜR Project, all remaining F-16s will be modernised to Block ÖZGÜR level.

ALP-300G Early Warning Radar Delivered to TAF
ASELSAN CEO Ahmet Akyol announced that ALP-300G (Formerly TEİRS and ERALP) mobile early warning radar has been delivered to the Turkish Armed Forces. ALP-300G, carried by 8x8 tactical wheeled vehicles, will be important in ground-based early warning and the SİPER long-range air defence system as the main searching radar. Secretary of Turkish Defence Industries Haluk Görgün made the following statements regarding some of the important features of ALP-300G reported by NTV. Görgün underlined that the radar has more than 4000 T/R modules and can receive reflection before a turn is completed. Additionally, the radar can send a ‘clarification signal’ to determine the position of a target more precisely. ALP-300G uses GaN-based AESA technology and can operate in a fixed orientation or turn to perform 360-degree scans. The radar has been developed to detect and track aircraft, cruise missiles, ballistic missiles, and low-RCS airborne targets. The mobile radar carried by an 8x8 vehicle can be readied in 30 minutes and includes built-in test systems. ASELSAN’s other recent products in the field of AESA radars include CENK-S searching radar for I-class frigates, MURAD radar for fighter jets and AKINCI UCAV, and ALP multi-role radar for SİPER air defence system.

Turkish Armed Forces Use New Systems in EFES-2024
EFES-2024 exercise to be conducted in İzmir, Turkiye, will house new defence products for different military branches of the Turkish Armed Forces. Turkish Land Forces will use a range of new weapons and sensors for the first time. These include the FIRTINA-2 155 mm SPG, BORAN 105 mm Lightweight Howitzer, PARS 4x4 STA ATGM Vehicle, AMMTS 8x8 Mine Clearing Vehicle, MİLKAR-series electronic attack systems, SURALP Weapon Location Radar, ASELSAN SERHAT Mortar Detection Radar, İHTAR Soft-Kill C-UAS System, ACAR UAV Detection Radar, and inflatable tank decoys. FIRTINA-2 and BORAN are the new Turkish Land Forces’ artillery arsenal additions. FIRTINA-2 is an evolution of T-155 FIRTINA SPG featuring an enhanced fire control system, mast-mounted SARP RCWS, and improved air conditioning for the crew. MKE’s BORAN is a towed/air-transportable 105 mm howitzer that can be carried via S-70/T-70 general-purpose helicopters. MİLKAR series of electronic attack systems include 2A2 Radar Electronic Attack, 3A3 Upper/Lower Band Electronic Attack, and the lightweight 5S variants. SURALP has been in service for roughly three years and was recently spotted in Şırnak. The radar can detect and track the RAM (Rocket-Artillery-Mortar) group of threats to provide situational awareness of up to a range of 250 km. SERHAT fulfils a similar role but can be carried by the smaller 4x4 vehicles. SERHAT has been recently updated to detect UAV threats as well. The increased density of C-UAS systems and weapon location radars points to an effort to increase readiness against the increasing threat of UAVs and RAMs.

Turkiye to Receive First F-16 Viper in mid-2027 Earliest
Turkish Air Force will receive the first F-16 Viper in mid-2027, provided the contract is signed immediately. Anadolu New Agency visited the F-16 Viper production facility in the U.S. and spoke with Aimee P. Burnett, Vice President of Aircraft Strategy and Business Development at Lockheed Martin, about the production progress in connection with the imminent supply of 40 new F-16 Vipers. The assembly, the test flights, and the delivery of the aircraft to the various customers take place at this factory. Burnett said the factory is in the final stages of meeting its production rate target of four aircraft per month and that there is currently a “queue” of 122 aircraft for a total of six countries. Deliveries of the 122 aircraft will take three years to complete, which means that if the Turkish contract is signed today, the delivery of the first aircraft cannot be earlier than mid-2027. If the contract is delayed any further and there are new orders, the delivery time of the first Turkish F-16 Viper will be further delayed.
