Turkey opens new explosives production facility

Turkey has completed the construction of a new plant for the production of explosives and ammunition. The opening ceremony was held on April 30 in the presence of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.

It is noted that the construction of the plant, located on an area of ​​4 m584, took only 2 months and $ 12 million. The enterprise installed only Turkish equipment, foreign technologies were not used, investments were not attracted.



The Turkish leader, speaking at the opening, stressed that the new enterprise will ensure the production of ammunition, from small arms to artillery calibers. It was about explosives. According to Erdogan, now Turkey will not depend on other countries.

We will no longer depend on anyone for our ammunition, explosives, warheads, missiles and aviation bombs. (...) we, Turkey, have reached the top league in the production of new generation explosives

- he said.

Previously, Turkey imported most of the components for the production of bombs, ammunition, missiles and warheads. The new venture was created as part of the Barutsan venture of the defense company MKEK.

          Everything is aimed at war, so if he said that now the mining industry will not buy explosives for mining abroad and the country will reduce the cost of mining, which will undoubtedly affect the welfare of the people ... but .... the whole network is as it is.

        Missile warheads, pyrotechnic materials, RDX, HMX, composite rocket fuel components.
        Ammunition and weapons of ALL calibers from 5,56 mm to 203 mm. The annual production capacity is 200 tons.
        For a year, without foreigners. 100% national enterprise.
        This is not pomp, it is truly an achievement - not to depend on anyone for their ammunition, explosive warheads, missiles and aerial bombs.
        PS Regarding Petrov and Basharov. It is not clear what they were doing in Salisbury, in the area of ​​the Czech arms depots?
        There was also not enough in Turkey, near the plant to "light up".

          You present this construction in such a way that it just takes envy. And now by what you write:
          1. For $ 25 million, a plant is not even a particularly plant, but a medium-sized enterprise. For example, 1 tank costs 4-9 million dollars / unit, i.e. a plant costing 3-6 tanks is somehow not an achievement ...
          2. 200 tons of ammunition per year is less than 1 Bq per 100 tanks (3500-4000 rounds), if nothing else is done. Those. even the size of the Turkish army is not very cool ..
          3. For example, a drone plant that is being built in Dubna, the cost is about 4 billion rubles (more than 50 million dollars). Did you present it with the same pathos or not? We just had the news and that's it.
          The fact that Turkey is starting to cost factories for self-sufficiency is cool, but in terms of size I will not say that this is an outstanding achievement for such a country. And it will definitely not allow 100% substitution of BP supplies from abroad ..

          Is it 550 kg per day? With a caliber of 203 mm, this is 4 pieces and this is a success!
          And if the fighting volume is 200 tons per day

          It seems that except for Turkey, nowhere else. They first need to cover their needs. Moreover, they now have some problems with the United States, which means that problems may arise with suppliers from NATO member countries.

          I suppose the Turks did not buy from them for themselves, and if they did, it was in order to cover the needs of the bearded, who mainly used Soviet weapons.
          In 2011, mattresses in bulk bought from Russia about a billion cartridges 7,62x39, and so it seems that these cartridges were rammed not in American shooting galleries, but somewhere in the region of Libya and Syria in the name of "democracy".

        Such a plant is not for war. For sluggish conflicts with very low ammunition consumption. The Turks want to remove the addiction. In case of sanctions ... The likelihood of which is growing. Therefore, the equipment is ONLY TURKISH. It also needs to be serviced and repaired ...

            ... neden, here it's not even a matter of whether Russia has grown this very uh organ, which you shyly call a beater. It is known from history that the Kiev prince Oleg, speaking understandably
            in our language, he landed a landing in the capital of Byzantium in the 911th year, which, as is known from history, at that moment was the capital of the Orthodox Empire. It is a fact. My question is this: what did Mr. Oleg want from Christian Byzantium ?! The Cross of Christ was adorned in the most beautiful place for an Orthodox person - over Blessed Sophia! Until the occupation of the capital of Byzantium by the Turks, there were still 555 years! Prophetic Oleg wanted to drive out the damned Turks from the most Christian Constantinople, who were not there !? Which at that moment of History had not even begun to move to the West from Central Asia? After all, the Turks appeared 70 kilometers north of Tehran only in 1054! And after 399 more, i.e. in 1453 they took Constantinople! And what has Kievsky lost there !!! Prince Mr. Oleg? This is the key question. And Alexandra and Nicholas are there first, second or twenty-second, this is only later. Honest Russian historians are not at all lost in front of this question, unlike many of my opponents here! And they answer: Geopolitics! National Interests! etc. What will my dear opponents answer me ?!

        In Russia, it is also not very good with gunpowder. As a hunter, before the sanctions, he tried not to buy domestic cartridges - because they are equipped with a loose mixture of dry chicken manure and bimetal bullets. For this reason, Barnaul at one time, to be able to export its cartridges, bought gunpowder from the Belgians "PB Clermont SA", and the bullets from the American "Hornady Manufacturing Co."
        Now I shoot less often - a carbine, tea on the shore, I didn't find it in the trash heap.

          But they are, this is in the first place.
          Secondly, the question, as I understand it about civilian products? I don’t think the military is so bad.
          And the culture of quality control in the civilian market has been developing for decades. Private business in the Russian Federation is only 30 years old, and you are complaining about its lack of Japanese quality. This does not happen, the Chinese, too, are only just learning to produce products of category "A", and then with a great creak (despite the purchased ultra-modern machines and technologies), and for a second, their production volumes are two orders of magnitude higher. Only time and the evolution of the culture of production, another recipe has not yet been invented.

              It's sad if so.
              In recent years, it has become more and more difficult to get a reliable picture from Russia. Because of the information war with the West, it is extremely difficult to believe in any media (on both sides), both camps are pulling the blanket over themselves, telling how everything was hurt "with us" and bad "with them." The plate is complete. It would be my will - to introduce a worldwide law, with terrible punishments for distorting any information and for any propaganda.
