Hacked Docs Show Turkey Made Huge Arms Transfers to Ukraine

Hacked documents published online claim that Turkey transferred a large batch of weapons to Ukraine, based on files released by a Russian hacker group.

According to information published on Russian Arms telegram, Russian hackers published documents they describe as internal Turkish records alleging large-scale weapons transfers from Turkey to the Ukrainian military.

The documents were released by the Beregini hacker group, which claims the data was obtained from internal Turkish sources. The files list the alleged delivery of 746 rockets for 300 mm systems and nine T-300 Kasirga launchers with a combined stated value of about $550,000. The records also list 70 ATACMS missiles with a range of up to 165 kilometers at a stated unit cost of $451,000, along with 12 multiple launch rocket systems.

The documents further claim the delivery of 16,724 rounds of 155 mm artillery ammunition valued at about $2,200 per round, along with 24 T-155 Firtina self-propelled howitzers priced at about $8.5 million each. Also listed at residual value are 40 decommissioned M44 self-propelled howitzers and 46 M79 guns dating back to the Korean War era.

The T-300 Kasirga system listed in the documents is described as having a strike range of up to 120 kilometers and carrying high-explosive warheads filled with 26,000 steel balls, with a reported maximum speed of Mach 4.2.

Neither the Turkish government nor Ukrainian authorities have so far confirmed the authenticity of the leaked documents.
