Military programs of Turkey. “Ambitions like Rolls Royce, opportunities like Rover

In 2006, the head of the Defense Procurement Organization of Turkey, Murat Bayar, stated that the country would not create his fighter, but in November 2013, in an interview with the American military weekly Defense News, refused his words and said that the country would begin development, reports al -monitor.com 8 December.

“Now we have the opportunity to implement a national fighter program. We know that this will be a difficult task, but we believe that our aviation industry has the ability to take the aircraft into the air for 15-20 years, ”Bayar said.

Insiders fear that this project will confirm the words of the former US ambassador to Turkey, who said that “Turkey has ambitions of Rolls-Royce, but has the capabilities of Rover (Turkey had Rolls Royce ambitions but Rover resources - these words were published on the website Wikileaks). But Ankara seems to be serious about creating a national fighter.

“The feasibility study of the program includes the production schedule, costs, technological risks, opportunities for local industry and options for international cooperation. The findings of the feasibility study will be presented to the sub-secretariat of the defense industry at the beginning of 2014 for a final decision, ”Bayard said.

Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan (Recep Tayyip Erdogan) is proud to support this program. The project was named TFX, three conceptual designs are considered. The Swedish company Saab, which developed the Gripen fighter, became the “program mentor”. The confidence of the Turkish government gives the fact that national companies have gained some experience by participating in the program to create a fifth-generation American fighter F-35. Thus, Ayesas and KALE had the opportunity to work in the field of aviation, TEI in engine design, TAI in fuselage design and onboard systems integration, Aselsan in avionics, radar and electronics, Roketsan and MKEK in systems weapons, Ayesas and Milsoft in the development of national software, Meteksan in the creation of a national data line. But there is also a financial side.

Defense industry officials estimated that the development and construction of 8 prototypes would cost 11-13 billion US dollars, and this costs only prototypes. If you take the price of one fighter in 100 million dollars, the production program of almost 200 fighters will fly into 20 billion, if you add the cost of prototypes here, the total costs will reach 31-33 billion. But this is very optimistic forecasts. Experts believe that the real budget of the program will be almost 70 billion dollars. Turkey also plans to purchase X-NUMX F-100 fighter jets, which cost between 35 and 16 billion. Thus, both programs will cost Ankara from 20 to 47 billion.

Add to this amount the costs of acquiring new and modernized weapons and military equipment, which range from 3 to 4 billion dollars annually. In this regard, the ambitious military plans of Turkey (plus plans for the construction of aircraft carriers here) can be a confirmation of the bitter words of the US ambassador.

          You should not think so.
          Turkey will be able to create an aircraft carrier with the participation of our brothers Ukrainians and attracted specialists from other countries.
          Financially it is quite possible. And other reasons just can not be taken into account in the current situation.
          The question is, when a Turkish aircraft carrier will appear in the Black Sea, will our homegrown "StratEgs" continue to squeal about the uselessness of these for Russia? Or will they take their heads out of Gopa?

            I have a question for you, on horseradish Turkey in the Black Sea aircraft carrier? An aircraft carrier is needed where aircraft cannot usually fly (other continents, for example). And 500 km across the Black Sea, even on a corn truck, you can fly from a regular airfield. Carriers are needed in the oceans, and in the Black Sea it will be shot through like a puddle by coastal anti-ship systems from all sides.

Turkey will need an aircraft carrier if only it can become the "glittering Port" of the 21st century, and Erdogan the sultan by conquering the Middle East, North Africa, the Caucasus, Romania, Bulgaria and southern Ukraine, becoming a superpower.

    Ambition is, of course, good and commendable ... Creation of a modern aviation complex may pursue the task of "whipping up" its own military-industrial complex to solve more ambitious tasks ... It was rightly noted that creating from scratch would require enormous efforts and not the fact that it would end with something successful ... Creating an aircraft for their own Air Force is a very expensive task, all manufacturers are actively selling their offspring all over the world in order to beat back costs and pay for the work on modernization and development of new models ...

I looked at the comments - very many people turned to Turkey’s ability to build aircraft carriers, but not about that article, article about the program to build their own fighter. The main curator of the project and all those support is provided by the SAAB company - and they are already building combat aircraft, Aselsan is the main developer of electronic equipment, it is possible that the Chinese will help in some matters, engines can even be purchased in the west and from Russia. with money, of course, a little tight, but all the same, the Turks are stubborn people - they want to build it.

      And we wish you the same, Sanych! and don’t forget about South Korea. With the help of Koreans, they can create a lot of things. There is simply an elementary underestimation of the possibilities.
      Many simply forgot that time does not stand in one place, and unlike some, many really made a sharp leap in development.

        Hello hello, Omar, Globalization is an irreversible thing, and everything depends only on the political tastes of the leadership, "Altai" and so the alteration of the Korean tank, and also the self-propelled gun "Firtin" - Turkey and Korea have been cooperating for a long time. Now the ANKA UAV is being produced, a version with missile armament is being made.

      "Altai" is a licensed copy of the South Korean K-2 "Black Panther", the same thing with the K-9 self-propelled guns, the Turk kupele lezenz and make "Firtina" it is the Turkish cocoa AK made in Bulgaria ... it is Bulgarian only by name))) This is not a joke, even a Frenchman admitted that "Rafal" can and beat the last French plane ... Such countries as Germany, Great Britain, Italy, Spain made Eurofighter together, they do not think (yet) about the 5th generation ... but , did the Turks take it? The Turkish jackal wants to be lions from his thought ... no, they can only threaten the countries as weakness. If there were no sanctions, Iran bypassed them long ago ...

    The question is, when a Turkish aircraft carrier will appear in the Black Sea, will our homegrown "StratEgs" continue to squeal about the uselessness of these for Russia? Or will they take their heads out of Gopa?

    I wonder what the aircraft carrier will do in the Black Sea? It is not only covered by coastal aviation, but is also shot through by coastal complexes. I wonder how long he will live in such a small water area. For that matter, these ships are a bit cramped with modern weapons in the Mediterranean. So, for Turkey, an aircraft carrier is just a show off, they just don’t need it. Although if they want a flag in their hands, let them spend resources. If something unnecessary arrives, then something necessary disappears.

    Regarding the aircraft, we can say that they do not have the financial power of China or India, and most importantly there is no design school. So, the deadline for fulfilling these wishes is 20 years, and then if SAAB will design everything for them. A typical example is the Indian tank and aircraft, and the Turkish tank and helicopter (which they did, but it turned out to be a turd, and they themselves recognized it) is indicative.

    Funny, by golly. So far, not one of the large European nations has voiced an intention to build a new generation aircraft. And they, whatever one may say, have a design school, have resources, finances, combat experience, and so on. I doubt Japan can do this. What is Turkey? Unless, if Saab makes it to zero, and from the Turks only a logo will be required to stick.

    After reading the headline he smiled, the content caused a sarcastic grin, smoking a cigarette, noted with surprise that I still think about the "aircraft building potential of Turkey" laughing And I realized, just the news was served to us in the "packaging" and "from the back door." I will try to show it "in the window", everything described below is my fabrications, how close they are to reality, decide for yourself. SAAB company (perhaps the only European aircraft manufacturer that has not frozen itself in the F-35 program) clearly, as has already happened more than once, has defined its niche-combat aircraft, the purchase / ownership of which would not affect the national sovereignty of the buyer (like the F-35) at the same time would have a minimum life cycle cost, provided to a large extent small MGH (in contrast to the T-50), and most importantly, the development of the project will be at the expense of the customer, taking into account his requirements as much as possible. A similar example is the creation of the Su-30MKI, MKK. That's where Turkey appeared on the horizon as a customer. However, given the extremely unstable internal political situation, Turkey is unlikely to decide on the implementation of such an expensive project (at least on the implementation of a combat helicopter project according to this scheme, the Turks have the spirit not enough), all her behavior, with loud statements, is intended to create the impression among neighbors and "allies" (primarily the United States) that things are going much better than they really are.

          There is no need to look for hints of nationalism in my words, I wanted to say that one should not expect a high-tech product from a country that does not have its own engineering school. Turkey did not survive the industrial revolution, all the projects mentioned in the comments are essentially a screwdriver assembly. As an example at the company's factory "Daimler" located in Turkey 98.9% of all managers are foreigners.

    A glider and something else can be mastered, but on an engine of its own design they are likely to stumble if China is already, and with such experience, it has not yet been able to achieve what is worthwhile.

      The irony is not caused by the topic itself, but by the approach to the timelines and the possibility of creating not at all but a certain level of generation. Yes, and do not forget the arms market is divided, which means that no one will simply give in, and even the latest technologies cannot be shared, that's all.

    I visited in 2007 there on a business trip. There are a lot of positives: Anti-terror - fighters in armored suits are really everywhere and armed, the same reinforced concrete structures are painted yellow-black, inspecting cars for entry and exit with checking the bottom through a mirror on a pole, etc. In a word +. Salaries and living conditions - in 2007 we lagged behind, now we surpass. But they have an excellent retirement benefit for officers - enough for a house and opening a small business. Armament - and here is a complete paragraph, almost all the old stuff. Kalash of soldiers faded to the color of metal.

    Well done.
    The article shows that due to joint participation in the F-35 project, Turkish companies do not start from scratch, and others will help with the technology.
    But with the engine, it’s like there were a lot of articles where the Turks said that they would buy the engine rather than create it. Then the project is quite real. As for the dough, I understand that it’s immediately come to my mind that the Soviets got used to it, there’s a cut everywhere, but we are talking about volumes and Turkey is very far from our realities. So, financing will clearly be where it is intended, and not on furniture.
