According to this news, Kuzgun is to have a Czech PBS TJ40 jet engine to power it.

Why are they rushing to purchase foreign engine? We have own engine projects, Don't we?

This might be for prototypes.

I think the only engine that fits is TEI’s TJ90. But the electrical output of the Czech engine is more suitable for the job.
As long as the supply line doesn’t falter, purchasing off the shelf engines is OK. It also takes the pressure off of our engine manufacturers. We really shouldn’t be producing every small engine ourselves.

Germans have developed this:

A multi grenade launcher, I like the idea very much. Such a launcher on armored vehicles (with out guided mini missile Efe) would be quite effective in urban warfare.

Wouldn't a high-velocity airburst 40mm GL be just as effective if not more so ?

If it was for 40mm unguided rounds I agree and would chose for the Aselsan, but a multilauncher for guided mini missiles would give a nice punch

Didn’t we already share such a mini missile here i think the range was 1-2km and around 30-40cm long

Does the German launcher use unguided rockets? Why would you prefer unguided missiles at 2-4km range? 40mm automatic grenade launcher could do same work.

We have this from Roketsan;

Yes exactly this! On unmanned vehicles it is nice, but on manned vehicles evenly handy especially maybe in combination with a machine gun.

The German launcher looks nice, very compact with optics and all

Tomorrow or probably on Friday I hope we will see some new videos. They might be BVR missile from F16, KGK from Akinci and Hisar O+.

Do i miss here the news the first test of "şimşek Target drone" which converted into cruise missile?

 

[Combat-Master]

Answering a question on the speed of Kuzgun-KY. He mentions Goktug Missile, I believe he's referring to Bozdogan WVRM Air to Air missile. We get some insight into the speed of Bozdogan; a 3-4.5 Mach class missile.

Aim-9x ; 2.5+ Mach
IRIS-T ; 3 Mach
MICA ; 4 Mach
Python-5 ; 4 mach

It should also be noted that, unless the size and weight of the B611 missile is greatly altered it can not physically go further than 400-450km at best. That too would involve less explosive content and/or better and more efficient fuel.
There are rumours that our Bora 2 is being developed as an off shoot of this missile with a 500+ km range and will have capability to hit moving sea targets.

Minister @varank : "We have reached the final stage of the liquid fueled RAMJET Project. In 2022 we will reveal a RAMJET engine prototype running at supersonic speeds."

Mr Varank: "Next year we will be able to test our RamJet engines in our own infrastructure in onboard tests with missiles.”

 

[Cabatli_TR]

Mr. Varank: "Using our already established test infrastructures, we have carried out invaluable work in the development of a liquid fuel RamJet engine in a short time. The point we have reached in a short time in terms of liquid fuel RamJet engines in the project we are carrying out encourages us to become one of the few countries in the world in liquid fuel RamJet engine and, in the future, ScramJet engine technologies.

On the one hand, while continuing the development work on the existing infrastructures, on the other hand, our efforts to establish the infrastructure where we can perform RamJet engine tests and aerodynamic warm-up tests continue at full speed. When its installation is completed, the related infrastructure will be one of the largest in Europe.”

Sanayi ve Teknoloji Bakanı Mustafa Varank, Sıvı Yakıtlı RamJet Motor Projesi ile ilgili önemli açıklamalarda bulundu. Varank, motorun süpersonik hızlarda çalışacağını vurguladı.
