All news point towards 30 november that SSM will select the new airdefence batteries.

For high altitude the Patriot, S300/400 and FT2000 are in the running.

Let see if also the medium altitude missile will be chosen.


Most likely the Patriot missile will be our high altitude missile

"Most likely the Patriot missile will be our high altitude missile"

Definitely.

Turk Bir Dev

i don't expect any big decision. especially in the projects those we have no or small workshare.

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

Hopefully Roketsan and Aselsan has convinced SSM to develop a medium range Air defense missile..

On 12 June 1992, a Greek Mirage F-1C crashed during a dogfight with a Turkish F-16 piloted by Capt. Ilhan Filiz.

On 8 October 1996, a Greek Mirage-2000 piloted by Thanos Grivas shot down a Turkish F-16D with a Magic IR missile.

Just two days after that murder, on 10 October 1996 a Greek Mirage-2000 crashed close to Semadirek island after a dogfight with two Turkish F-16s.

Point of the story is: TUAF saved itself two missiles.

On May 23rd 2006, Two Greek F-16 fighters Scrambeled to intercept two Turkish F-16s that was escorting a Recon aircraft over the southern Aegean, After a short Mock-dogfight the Greek F-16 colided into the Turkish F-16. Turkish Pilot Lieutenant Halil Ibrahim Özdemir Ejected safely while the Greek pilot Lieutenant Konstantinos Kakkavas died instantly.

On December 4th 2007, a Greek F-16C participated in a night exercise in the Sporades archipelago, the pilot Lieutenant Athanasios Batsaras lost orientation thinking he was gaining altitude instead flew his aircraft into the sea. Athanasios Batsaras body was found latter on by a Turkish frigate which responded to the emergency call.

Point of the story is: Greeks don't know how to Fly.

On June 3rd 2003, a Greek F-16 block 30 Piloted by Captain Theodoros Pliatsikas crashed when a Bird was sucked into the air intake causing Engine Failure. Captain Theodoros Pliatsikas however was lucky enough to Eject and survived the incident with minor injury.

On June 4th 2009, a single seater Greek F-16 block 50 crashed in Ioannina after the plane ingested a bird. The pilot managed to eject from the plane with minor injury.

Point of the story is: Birds 2 Greeks -2 F-16s

"Hopefully Roketsan and Aselsan has convinced SSM to develop a medium range Air defense missile.."

Yeahh Bro.. I hope..

There will be no desicion on 30 November, this date is the last day of RfP. There will be SSIK meeting on December, but I think in that meeting there wont be any desicion also. Long range air defense missile system desicion probably will be given first SSIK in 2010, which will likely be on April or May; but on december 2009 I am expecting some news about short-medium range air defence procurment.

Anti Tank-personnel missile family...

-Cirit (8km)
-Omtas (4km)
-Umtas (8km)


Air defence family

-Aselsan SPAAG
-Aselsan Bora
-Aselsan Atilgan-Zipkin
-Low Level Air defence missile system
-Medium Level Air defence missile system (I hope)

A-G bombs

-HGSS Normal (30-35km) (2000Lb -1000,500Lb under development)
-HGSS Wing (50-60km ?) (Under Development)
-Demet Cluster Bombs (400 Bomblets each )
-Bunker Blasting Guided bombs (Similar with USA JSOW) Under development phrase in Tubitak-MKEK institues...Official signitures have been signed
-A-G Anti-Tank missiles (Similar with Maverick) Under development
-A-G long range cruise missile (Future plan)


We have a kick-ass engineering capability about guided missile area...
