Turkish Air Defence Programs

Not really, it's actually really bad. 4km range is extremely small for an anti air weapon, jets can fly 10km so you won't even be able to shoot down aircrafts. In 1932 Sweden built a 40mm anti aircraft gun that had a range of 7km and has since then upgraded it to have a range of 12km. Turkey making an anti aircraft platform with a range of only 4km in 2017 is way too short. Korkut is nearly 70 years behind in range.

But the worst part about korkut is that it's not even Turkish, the vehicle is made by fnss which is co-owned with Britain, the engine is a German import and the gun is built by mkek under license to a German company (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oerlikon_GDF).

The whole project is just a waste of time.

Sorry for ranting :undecided:

Dude, short and very short range air defence systems are not for aircrafts or missiles, they are used for protecting very small critical areas even like buildings etc. Turkish air defence systems will contain very short, short, medium and long range air defence levels combained. Aircrafts, ballictic missiles will already be detected at long range. Short range defence systems are good for SOM missiles and drone strikes. And if you ask me Korkut's 4 km range is good for very short air defence.

Korkut doesn't use Oerlikon guns. Also, the fact that a longer range gun was built in 1932 doesn't mean anything. Short range AA is still a necessity, which is why every single significant military power in the world uses them.
 
Putin said in the St-Petersburg summit that Russia is willing to supply Turkey with the S-400 air defence system..Not only that , Russia is willing to co-produce it with Turkey..

He said that coproduction process would take dozen years as in trainin g and adaptation process of engineers Brahmos coproduction with India.
He strongly offered Turkey to purchase ready S400 systems.

will have problems with nato
 
Actually It would be totally long process to co-produce missiles. We haven't built nuclear plants yet. Turkish students who studied in nuclear energy faculties in Russia were deported. Still we don't any skilled nuclear engineer who are able to co-produce nuclear energy with Russia , how Turkey would deal with Russians?
