  1. CHINA, TURKEY DEVELOP ADVANCED ROCKET

     

    WASHINGTON [MENL] -- China and Turkey have developed and marketed an advanced rocket.

     

    Industry sources said Ankara and Beijing have completed development of the B-611 rocket. The sources said the B-611 marked a secret Chinese-Turkish project meant to supply artillery-based rockets to both countries as well as client states, particularly in the Middle East.

     

    "We also have to consider a gray area, in which a couple of Chinese companies are now marketing artillery rockets that border on the edge of short-range ballistic missiles," Richard Fischer, a leading U.S. expert on China's military, said. "The B-611 was developed in cooperation with Turkey, the WS-2."

     

    The WS-2 was termed a Chinese rocket with a range of up to 180 kilometers. Sources said the WS-2 was a variant of the Soviet-origin Frog-7.

     

    The brother of the B-611, the WS2 rocket:

  2. Really proud to see these pictures. Our military industry really has picked up pace in 2000's. Soon we'll be mostly independent military-wise and begin exporting them.

     

    Turkey exports military stuff since 1995. If I remember correct they exported huge amount SHORAD system on Feneks to Netherland last time. Our products mostly goes to Azerbycan, Georgia, Eygpt, Saudi Arabia, Quatar, Netherland, Pakistan, South Korea etc.
