What is DENİZHAN? Turkey’s national 76/62 naval gun

FeaturedASFATNaval Gun76mmDomestic DENİZHAN 76/62 Turkey’s domestically produced 76mm automatic cannon Developed under the leadership of ASFAT and MKE, the domestically produced 76/62mm naval gun is now in use. Until now, Turkey’s frigates, corvettes, and attack boats have relied on the Italian Leonardo Oto Melara 76/62. The emergence of DENİZHAN ends this dependency—domestic spare parts and ammunition are entirely produced in Turkey, serving as the main gun for future new MİLGEM and İSTİF class vessels.

Domestically produced 76mm gun for Turkish vessels DENİZHAN is a 76/62mm domestically produced automatic naval gun developed under the leadership of ASFAT (Military Factory and Shipyard Corporation) and MKE. The 76mm refers to the caliber of the gun, while 62 caliber indicates the length of the barrel (62 × 76mm = 4.7m barrel). So far, the new generation surface vessels of the Turkish Navy (MİLGEM Ada-class frigates, İSTİF-class frigates, Yavuz/Barbaros frigates, Kılıç-class fast boats, etc.) have primarily used the Italian Leonardo Oto Melara 76/62 Super Rapid Gun. This gun is the most common naval gun in the world—but it means reliance on imports, which implies that the supply of spare parts and ammunition depends on foreign sources. DENİZHAN is a project aimed at ending this dependency. A domestic gun of the same class, size, and compatible with the same type of ammunition—standard weapon for new MİLGEM Block-2, TF-2000 air defense frigates, TCG Anadolu strike variant, and other platforms. It can engage air (incoming missiles), surface (ships), and land (shore targets) targets.

At the same time, the existing Oto Melara in the navy maintains the same training and maintenance discipline.
