T-155 Panter Towed Howitzer

Panter Block-I completed with production of around 50 howitzers.

It would be very useful if we could publish a technical comparison sheet of Turkish Artillery inventory. Is 203 mm artilerry still in active use ? 203mm ammo is not produced by MKEK

Comparable to that ?

 

[Thunder.Storm]

Good.

Air Portable 105mm Boran Light Towed Howitzer project (In Trials)

Comparable to that ?

While existing Panters are being upgraded by Aselsan, The Block-2 Panters are being produced with Archer like platform. A 155mm gun installed on truck.

Panter howitzer upgrade

----------------------------------


Turkish Artillery Rocket/Missile Family

The list of 107mm, 122mm, 300mm and 600mm faimly.

-Guided variant of 122mm is being considered in trial phase.
-Guided variant of 300mm called K+ is in inventory at present. Azerbaijan is most probably the first costumer of that missile. K+ has folding type winglets which enable to install missiles on smaller turrets than standart Kasirga rockets. With this way, It became possible to install large number of K+ on truck.

You can see the size differences between Standart K and guided K+ launchers.

-Y-II (~300km) (Iskander-E equ.) is in inventory at present.

-Y-III(~400-450km) (Iskander-M equ.)

@cabatli_53 bro. any other post(s)? If yes i'll delete this message...

No bro. You can rock ! The number of launchers depends on the requirement bro. It was difficult with standrt Kasirga but 6 launchers can easily be installed on that truck thanks to the size of K+.

Ok thx. for the thread... So we will post about Kasırga/Yıldırım and other artillery rockets to this thread, not to missile and torpedo thread, am i right?...

I think It is a good idea so opened this thread bro. Otherwise, Talking about Self propelled and Towed howitzers in ongoing land vehicle projects are nonsense in a military forum. Same for artillery missiles and rockets as well.

Maybe as an addition to this reason you opened this thread just because in the following days we will see some toys under this thread?!... For example @ 30 August !..

Requirements of countries and launcher numbers

It is expected to see Y-II in 30 August bro.

I wish to see soon

M982 Excalibur, if we are already going to build a system like Archer (Bofors).

Is it on the roadmap?

There is a new smart 155mm munition project but It is not like excalibur. It will be sensor fuzed smart munition

Süper CABATLI. Thx. DM 72/6 charge in promo video from Raytheon seems to be as effective as HGK . I hope we will develop it
