Overview
[This post should be considered half IG R&D, and half canonising extant R&D for which there is precious little accurate and reliable information]
Turkish tmTechno-Nationalism has seen a slew of projects related to the Indigenous production of modern missiles. Turkish firms ASELSAN, ROCKETSAN, TÃœBÄ°TAK-SAGE, TAI, and others have all received massive backing from industry and government in order to develop and establish a fleet of missiles which can give Turkey an indiginous capability across the spectrum of Warfare.
This began as a game of catchup, and Turkey is still notably behind other nations in certain fields. The investment, and the industrialisation of the defence technology sector, though, has given Turkey a cutting edge, in drones, and in micromunitions, for instance.
The following is a timetable for service entry for those products not yet available, and a rough evaluation of the capabilities of those, and those products already available.
