After reading a articel in greek defence magazine...
Turkey is ready to order a new LPD vessel for there Marines...
some news from Turkish magazines?

our generals always want this marine landing crafts . mostly for nato missions . till the somalia time 1992.
but no real thing. first tanks must be modernized( leo 2 or abrahams ) than new infintary weapon to be buit. very strong anti tank weapons
3 major priotry!!
3rd entered the list 3 years ago!!! after erxy has lots of problems.
then may be new ships.

Kaan

It seems that the prioritys has been ...reordered...
The LPD... is one of the things that the TN...wants...
so also...about the MBTs..the Turkish army will build an indegineus Tank...self made...maybe some parts of Koreo an abroad ..but the main Tank will be build in Turkey...and be made in Turkey...
Dont ask me about the results...
If Turkey/..(what i hope strongly) build or buy the LPD... The HN will follow immidiatly....(and i hope they will go for the Rotterdam class...)

tank and riflr and anti tank system. we belive that in 5 6 years may be we will have to fight with usa. ;) so the tanks are their calavary and they must be stoped.

and erxy is huge dis apointment. watch thiss.

kaan . even missle flies it cant shoot a apartment block.

Kaan dont worry the Turkish Army dont rely only on the eryx... ;)

i think we bought lots of pink rpg s .
i dont know the code but rpg7v or something like this.

600 mm steel peneration ones. but dont tell any one.
the ones russia ive to iraq to destroy m1a2 s

Thats too bad about the eryx. They had the idea right, but couldn't put it together... Have the Frenchies offered to correct the problems? What are all the problems that its haveing?


PS if you think your going to fight the US in a few years, you better get some ASAT capacity, your country is large enough for it. This will help you more than an Turkish Tank.

Also some counrties need to develope AT's that can defeat the new active systems that will be active soon. Perhaps a missle with a 2nd head that can be shot in front of the missile to activate the defence system before the missile hits. Tus not giving it time to reload before the actual AT round makes contact...

problem s are !

missles cant fýnd targets. they mýss.
2 french cant deploy them on time. so we stop paying . and they totaly stop sending lýke 5 6 years ago then what happened i dont know.

it was expensive nad didnt work. and no turkish producer involved..
normaly 50 percent all foreýgn equýpmets must be produced here.

I think all A-AT systems are designed to counter more than one threat at the same time.
