Why are those tubes are blue? Or are they just cover.
Blue on canisters usually indicate inert/non-explosive. Likely these are training missiles provided to train operators.Why are those tubes are blue? Or are they just cover.
Yes this makes sense. thanksBlue on canisters usually indicate inert/non-explosive. Likely these are training missiles provided to train operators.
actually the missile in the photo seems to me like G40. but i am probably mistaken.The missile in the vid is not Siper II. We have seen this video before.

Happy to see it in BD inventory.
LOL you made a noob mistake. This Stormbreaker is not Israel's Bluespear or equivalent of our Kuzgun. It is similar to Aselsan SDB. It is not a missile.There is a source for atmaca's cost:
"An official from state-controlled missile-maker Roketsan, a co-producer of Atmaca (which translates to “Hawk” in English), said that the weapon will replace more than 350 Harpoons in the next two to three years, starting with ships under maintenance and upgrade programs."Turkey’s own Atmaca missile to replace Harpoons on its Navy ships
An official from state-controlled missile-maker Roketsan, a co-producer of Atmaca, says the weapon will replace more than 350 Harpoons in the next two to three years.www.defensenews.com
"The Roketsan official said Turkey aims to save up to $500 million from the Atmaca replacement program, as the homemade missile comes in at around half the price of a Harpoon."
So can we say atmaca block 1 is a 500 600k dollars missile?
And this one is for storm breaker and others:

It would be really nice if we could produce kuzgun for 200 k dollars and çakır for 300k.
Maybe I should quote my old messages from now on.Airforce requirement for Gökdoğan BVRAAM 65km
Range of the Gökdoğan Block-I BVRAAM 70+km
Estimated range of the Gökdoğan Block-II BVRAAM 100+km
Airforce requirement for Bozdoğan WVRAAM 20km
Range of the Bozdoğan Block-I WVRAAM 25+km
Estimated range of the Bozdoğan Block-II WVRAAM ~35km
Yes, but if both are at mach 4, this excess weight turns into a disadvantage for Bozdoğan.AFAIK, bozdogan is the most heaviest WVR operational around the world.
with 140kg weight it is more heavier than israeli derby ER BVR.
so, no surprise that it got some extra ranges.
I-Derby has an RF seeker and dual pulse rocket engine. If Tubitak adds those Bozdoğan can achieve 100km. IMHO logical approach is to make a dual-pulse version of both Gökdoğan and Bozdoğan and switch to a hybrid seeker. Gökdoğan can use extra resistance against jamming with added IIR and Bozdoğan can make use of the RF seeker to keep track of the target when IIR is not the best choice.AFAIK, bozdogan is the most heaviest WVR operational around the world.

If you add dual pulse on current weight it would become more heavier. thus, unlikely to acheive 100km effective range with current acceleration power.I-Derby has an RF seeker and dual pulse rocket engine.

Then it's better you directly purchase the missiles from China since all existing pakistani missiles are repainted Chinese missiles.@Bogeyman
Regarding the stockpile of Turkish missiles, I refuse to believe that we don't have Pakistani missiles and rockets in our arsenal. It simply doesn't make any sense if you consider the deep-rooted, secretive and strategic nature of the relationship between the two states.
My guess is that we have a very high amount of unrevealed Pakistani origin missiles in our inventory.
in long term, bozdogan and gokdogan needs to merge into one. the prevalence of stealth in state-of-the-art airframes and the restrictions of internal weapon bays' of these aircraft necessitates a compact, highly maneuverable, long-range missile to be used as both fox-2s and fox-3s interchangeably.I-Derby has an RF seeker and dual pulse rocket engine.

Iirc this forum is not a place for nationalist propaganda!Then it's better you directly purchase the missiles from China since all existing pakistani missiles are repainted Chinese missiles.
Yes stormbreaker is like minbo IIR. I had a 200 k dollars figure in my memory about kuzgun tj like missile, and confused the munitions and currencies.LOL you made a noob mistake.
