Looks like our system…

I thought that was abandoned, wasn't it?

First time seeing that payload, wonder what it is.

Could it be a proper launcher for Kuzgun?

It looks like this launcher from this model:

 

[Kaan Azman]

Yup, much like maritime brimstone

8 cell Kuzgun-KY launcher.

 

[Anmdt]

8 cell Kuzgun-KY launcher.

This could be a version intended for larger (and with possible application on land) platforms in following times. Göksur also was rumored to have fixed foundation applications for certain platforms.

I don't see any reason not to stack another box on top and make it 16 cell launcher, 16+16 is a good capability for patrol boats, corvettes, OPVs and so on. Could be even interesting if SAGE applies cold launch to this one.

How durable/reliable would it be at different sea states ? I mean would the balance of the vessel be compromised or would it be more visible /less visible lurking around.

Would the cost of the vessel with armament be too high ?

A ballistic test launch was carried out with KUZGUN-KY from MARLIN

me dreaming of anti-radiation seeker on the those kuzgun, this would be a nightmare for any navy

Maybe for the turbojet version? You keep 2 USVs in a ship, armed with TJ Kuzgun and you can send the USVs 200 kms from your ship, to fire at a ship 150kms from the USV.

If I ever see that happening, even as a training or to advertisement, that video is going into porn folder.

 

[Saithan]

If any such USV is within target range of big enemy ships (even allies) I can assure that they'll shoot first and ask questions later. Remember Muavenet.

Merlin is around 15 meters unless I'm mistaken, that makes it 7 or 8 times smaller than an Istif class frigate, 10 times smaller than TF-2000. I'll admit that I'm not an expert in missile technology but I am willing to bet that trying to hit a target as small as Merlin before it gets into firing range with turbojet Kuzgun with 150+ km range would be harder than trying to hit a 10 times bigger ship.

-even with KUZGUN KY 40km + range enemy's engagement options are limited

-one major threat to our unmanned sea vehicles will naval helicopters

-dream mod is on... easier said than done.... and complex but still hope to see an independent short range air defene capablitiy like with SUNGUR as an integral part of a USV swarm responsible from the the short range air defence of the swarm.

-I found KUZGUN KY important in self defence role of our naval assets against enemy USVs as well
