MKE wants to provide Turkish MİLGEM ships with
76 mm naval guns similar to the Oto Melara 76 mm compact gun variant. The Oto Melara
compact model can fire 85 rounds per minute, while MKE’s gun can fire 80
rounds. It is also known that the Turkish navy shows interest in the Super
Rapid variant, which has a higher rate of fire of 120 rounds per minute. It was
developed in the early 1980s and remained current.
On 27 September 2006, Iran announced it had
started mass production of a naval gun named the Fajr-27, a reverse-engineered
Oto Melara 76 mm gun.
