T-300 302mm MRLS based on the Chinese WS-1. Range is 100km. Rocketsan produces them.

Besides, Roketsan exported 302mm rocket technology to UAE and Roketsan-UAE institue will produce some T-302 for an unknown Arab state...

Besides, Roketsan exported 302mm rocket technology to UAE and They will produce them under the licence of Roketsan to export 3th countries.

Yep we win alot of bids with the UAE especially rocket artillery and APC contracts.

Raytheon also selected Aselsan recently as a subcontractor for UAE Patriot parts development.

UAE is the first country ordering all rocket families of Rokestan.

Turkish military refuses to attend the banquet thrown by Turkish president Abdullah Gul for 87th anniversary of founding of turkish republic over opposition to islamic headscarf--

copy/paste--

Turkish army chiefs boycotted an official ceremony at the presidential palace because the president's wife wore an Islamic headscarf, the press reported Saturday.

ANKARA- The army's top brass were conspicuous by their absence late Friday at a banquet thrown by President Abbdullah Gul to commemorate the creation of the modern, secular Turkey in 1923.

The military organised a separate reception at the same time to give the generals an excuse not to accept the president's invitation, the reports said.

The secularist main opposition Republican People's Party (CHP) also declined Gul's invitation.

Turkey's First Lady has worn the hijab, which covers the head and neck, since adolescence.

The boycott was criticised by Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan, whose wife also wears the headscarf.

The army's generals, who see themselves as custodians of the Turkish republic, regard the headscarf as a threat to the state's secular traditions and are against any relaxation of the ban on wearing them in schools and government buildings.

Hayrunnisa Guila dn Emine Erdogan, as well as a number of other wives of leaders of the ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP), all wear headscarves tied tightly over bonnets which completly conceal their neck and hair.

Erdogan, who has led the Islamist-rooted conservative government since 2002 reproached the generals, saying "the armed forces should have been present" at the presidential palace.

In the past, generals have attended the banquet to celebrate the founding of the Turkish republic but this year the president extended the invitation to wives, meaning that women wearing the veil would be present.

Gul, a former AKP cadre, has been pressing for a lifting of the ban on veils since he took office.

The ban on headscarves on university campuses was recently eased by the Higher Education Board (YOK), which used to be a bastion of secularism but is now headed by an Erdogan supporter.

That report is not accurate. The military chiefs had already planned their reception. The CHP leader had also said he wanted to celebrate it with the people and did his own thing. I don't know what Erdogan is crying about his wife didn't even show up at the reception.

Although the minds of Turkish generals are still following the Atheist policies of Mustafa Kamal but Turkish people have shown them during the last refrendum that they reject their anti-Islamic policies. Turkey will inshaallah continue its march towards the path of islamic way of life, God willing, Allahu Akbar!!!!!!!!
