MKE Develops Extended-Range 122 mm Artillery Rocket
During SAHA EXPO 2024, MKE displayed a mock-up of 122 mm guided artillery rocket fitted with deployable wings for longer ranges.
A MKE official has stated that the goal is to develop an extended-range 122 mm guided artillery rocket with a range of 67.5 kilometres and the firing tests are planned to be made this year.
Conventional 122 mm artillery rockets can reach a range of 20 to 40 km depending on the configuration of the rocket motor. MKE wants to take a new approach by adding deployable wings to provide a gliding capability.
The stated range roughly nears 227/230 mm artillery rockets which mostly are rated at 70 km.

Baykar Displays Self-Developed Electro-Optical Systems
Baykar displayed its BG-160, BG-180, BG-220, and BG-460 electro-optical gimbals for its UAV/UCAV platforms during SAHA EXPO 2024.
BG-160, BG-180, and BG-220 have been developed for Baykar's KALKAN VTOL UAV, while the much larger BG-460 is aimed towards Bayraktar TB2, Bayraktar TB3, and AKINCI. The software and optical components belong to Baykar, which blocks another way for embargoes to hit possible sales.
BG-160, weighing 2.4 kg, was developed in the day and thermal configurations with 1920x1080 and 640x512 px resolutions, respectively. The thermal configuration was created in response to a request from Turkish Special Forces.
